Think about the amount of time the average person spends on the computer, texting, talking on the cell phone or playing video games. With so much repetition to the hand and wrist, it’s no wonder that Windmill Health Center has seen the incidences of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) increase dramatically! The good news is that our Weston chiropractors have been very successful in treating carpal tunnel syndrome nonsurgically, without relying on powerful medications to reduce debilitating pain.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is pressure on the median nerve — the nerve in the wrist that supplies feeling and movement to parts of the hand. It can lead to numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle damage in the hand and fingers. The area in the wrist where the nerve enters the hand is called the carpal tunnel. The tunnel is normally narrow, so any swelling can pinch the nerve and cause a painful, progressive condition.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should consult the Weston chiropractors at Windmill Health Center as soon as possible. The earlier CTS is treated, the quicker the recovery.
Both Dr. Browner and Dr. Behar feel strongly that early diagnosis and treatment are important to avoid permanent damage to the median nerve. Without a doubt, chiropractic manipulation has shown to be the most effective method of carpal tunnel treatment. Fortunately, for most people who develop carpal tunnel syndrome, proper treatment usually can relieve the pain and numbness and restore normal use to wrists and hands. Our goal at the Windmill Health Center is for our carpal tunnel patients to be pain-free and on the path to health and wellness!
While some physicians will prescribe medications or inject cortico-steroids to temporarily relieve pain and swelling, it does not treat the root of the problem. Other medical doctors will recommend surgery. Before this highly invasive procedure is considered, you should consult out Weston Florida chiropractors first.
Why? Windmill’s 10 years of chiropractic experience has shown that not all wrist pain should be called CTS. Our chiropractors will determine, if in fact, the symptoms are being caused by the pressure on the nerves of the wrist, or if there is a different cause of the problem. It is VERY common for these types of symptoms to exist when there is a neck misalignment, history of auto injury, or other spinal conditions. The nerves of the neck control all the nerves of our arms and hands. If the nerves of the neck are being compressed, wrist and hand pain is a common symptom. The Doctors of Chiropractic at Windmill Health Center are trained to determine whether your condition is a true carpal tunnel syndrome.
Secondly, there are many chiropractic procedures that have been proven to be successful in the treatment of carpal tunnel.
When you come into Windmill Health Center, our Weston chiropractic physicians will perform a comprehensive physical examination and possibly x-rays to correctly diagnose your condition. More importantly, when you leave our Weston chiropractic facility, your relief over time from chronic pain can be life changing. We’ll have you back on the tennis courts and at your keyboard painlessly in no time!
