Carpal Tunnel in Frisco
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is usually caused by repetitive motion, such as typing, texting, or assembly line work, increasing the amount of irritation or inflammation going to the wrist. Over time, such actions may produce pain and injury.
At Venn Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we see pinched nerves in the neck as the cause in 99% of our cases, due to poor posture. Most people with carpal tunnel in Frisco experience tingling or numbness in the fingers and hand or weakness in the hand.
Our Natural Approach to Carpal Tunnel Treatment in Frisco
If needed, we do an extraspinal adjustment for the wrist. After that, a specific chiropractic evaluation of the neck is done to locate nerve impingement. If found, we provide gentle chiropractic care to the area to release the pressure off the nerve, and adjust your upper spine.
It may also be advisable to rest the affected arm, apply cold to decrease inflammation, and perform specific carpal tunnel Frisco exercises. You can also wear a splint or brace to immobilize the area. In some cases, we recommend exercises to strengthen the opposing muscles, which have become weaker.
