Natural Carpal Tunnel Treatment with Chiropractic

Chanatry Chiropractic sees a lot of people afflicted with carpal tunnel syndrome in our busy Jacksonville chiropractic office. While some people think that the origin of this wrist-related pain is muscular, it's actually a syndrome that comes from the nerves--and not just the nerves in your hands.

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

A recent study printed in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy assessed 71 women between the ages of 35 and 59 who were diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. Upon studying the subjects' neck range of motion, the researchers found that the women had less cervical mobility when compared to a healthy control group.

Furthermore, they also found that the level of the women's reported carpal tunnel concern was related to the lateral flexion of the cervical spine. In other words, the less flexibility in the neck area, the higher the level of pain.

This study is very important, as you can't effectively treat a problem until you fully understand its source. By realizing that the root of carpal tunnel pain is in the neck, this means that all-natural approaches such as chiropractic therapy can often restore normal function, reducing the need for risky operations.
