Chiropractic Carpal Tunnel Release as Alternative to Carpal Tunnel Surgery

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that can be relieved quickly and effectively using Chiropractic and Applied Kinesiology Methods. Not only is Chiropractic a safe, non-invasive method of treatment, but also a common sense approach to treatment before even considering carpal tunnel surgery. Unfortunately, once the carpal tunnel surgery is performed , the wrist will always be weak even though the pain may be less…your best option is to exhaust other treatment methods before seeking carpal tunnel surgery.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is typically caused by compression of the Median nerve at the wrist due to tightening of a tendon called the Flexor Retinaculum. Essentially, the two bones in the forearm called the radius and ulna have ’separated’ due to muscle strains and resulted in a tightening of the tendon which overlies the median nerve. To make a long story short, Nerves do not like to have pressure placed on them. When pressure and inflammation are present, pain inevitably follows.

Chiropractic methods for carpal tunnel release involve ”adjustments” to improve the aligment of the bones in your wrist and hand, meanwhile applying physical therapy and direct treatment to the muscles of the wrist and hand to support the re-alignment. These methods, combined, helps to relieve pain and pressure from the median nerve.

The mechanism of injury for most carpal tunnel symptoms is repetitive use of the hand and wrist. Computer work including typing, mouse-ing, etc. is the most common, yet other manual types of work including automotive repair, carpentry also pose their share of problems.
