Wrist Pain
springfield,illinois il
Many times the cause of wrist pain is compression of either the Median or the Ulnar nerve. When this happens you get wrist pain and if it advances, you get pain into the hand and fingers and maybe up into the forearm. Chiropractic can treat this problem without having to resort to surgery.
The medical solution to Carpal Tunnel is to cut the Transverse Ligament. Unfortunately, after a few years, this Ligament will repair itself with scar tissue and leave even less room for the nerves.
The Chiropractic solution is to restore motion to the carpal bones, specifically the lunate, capitate and scaphoid, which change postion when fixated which in turn reduces the size of the carpal tunnel. This fixes the problem rather than treating a symptom.
Of course, Carpal Tunnel isn't the only reason for having wrist or hand pain. Another common problem is Trigger Finger. That's where one or more fingers don't move smoothly. They get stuck at a certain point and and then move only with difficulty. You may have pain in your hands as a result of problems in your neck. You might have pain just because the carpal bones aren't moving correctly. At Hughes Chiropractic Healthcare SC we handle all these problems and we do it without drugs or surgery
