Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is defined by feelings of numbness, tingling, and burning in the wrists and hands. Some patients even struggle to grasp objects. Surgery is a possibility, but half of these are unsuccessful. Why not schedule an appointment at Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center instead? Located in Nitro, WV, Dr. Jay McClanahan provides you with noninvasive treatment. These give you the relief you want without aggressive measures.

The carpal tunnel is a section of your wrist. It makes way for the median nerve, which runs from your spine to your hand. Swelling in the carpal tunnel compresses the nerve and cuts off feeling. This is what causes the symptoms of your CTS. There is no exact reason why people develop CTS. Genetics is a possibility, along with repetitive motion or a naturally smaller carpal tunnel.

The major traditional treatments for CTS are surgery and steroid injections. Most of these are highly unsuccessful. It’s why we recommend chiropractic treatment at our office in Nitro, WV. The pain experienced is caused by the median nerve. Dr. Jay McClanahan specializes in the musculoskeletal and nervous system. At your appointment, he examines your wrist and spine. He quickly detects any abnormalities or interference. This could be what is causing your pain. Spinal manipulation is the recommended treatment, along with manipulation of the elbow and wrist.

CTS creates permanent damage to the hand, wrist, and thumb without treatment. Spinal manipulation is a quick and painless process. Dr. McClanahan will use his hands or a small tool to guide any misplaced vertebrae into the correct positions. This relieves the pressure pinching the median nerve.
