Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Upper Cervical Care
Are you suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome? Then there’s no doubt you desperately want some relief. But many people wonder what link exists between carpal tunnel syndrome and upper cervical chiropractic. After all, we all know carpal tunnel syndrome is a wrist condition.
In this article, we will consider the anatomy behind using upper cervical chiropractic to provide natural relief for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Here’s the thing: carpal tunnel syndrome is not necessarily a wrist condition so much as it is nerve pain. This is because the nerves in your arm and wrist originate in the neck. This explains why wrist, shoulder, and forearm pain can all be related to a neck injury.
Many patients undergo surgery to correct carpal tunnel syndrome. Unfortunately, the bitter truth is they never benefit from the procedure. Before taking an elective surgery, consider a non-invasive approach like upper cervical chiropractic. If the pain originates from your neck, you may experience natural relief from your secondary complaints.
