Carpal Tunnel Treatment in Nashville, TN.
Our chiropractic office near Nashville offers treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is becoming more common due to the increase in technology use and repetitive motions in daily life. Each year, millions are diagnosed with CTS. While carpal tunnel release surgery has been a common treatment to relieve CTS symptoms, new research shows that nearly half of these surgeries are unsuccessful. Instead, more professionals are now recommending chiropractic treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome.
What are the Symptoms of CTS?
CTS presents with clear symptoms, such as numbness or tingling in the wrist and/or hand, along with a significant reduction in wrist range of motion, almost as if the wrist joint has become “seized up.” Moderate to severe pain in the hand and/or wrist, which may worsen during wrist movement, is also common. Over time, the pain can become constant, even when the wrist remains still.
In practical situations, CTS makes it hard or impossible to do common tech-related activities, such as using a computer mouse, typing on a keyboard, texting on a phone, writing with a pen or pencil, and so on. Of course, CTS can also result from activities that aren’t related to technology—in fact, any repetitive motion can cause CTS—but this is the most common cause of the problem.
Chiropractic Treatment For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Chiropractic treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome is now strongly recommended if you suspect you might have CTS. Non-invasive treatments by a qualified chiropractor are greatly preferred before considering major surgery. Even the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and the University of Maryland Medical Center list chiropractic as an alternative option for CTS.
When you visit Dr. Rewan Amedi, he will examine the entire course of the median nerve, carefully identifying exactly where the problems—the compression points—are located. Using advanced, non-invasive chiropractic techniques, Amedi can effectively treat your CTS with positive results.
