While many patients seek treatment through surgical means, our chiropractor at Potent Chiropractic has had success in treating carpal tunnel syndrome through non-invasive chiropractic care. With surgical procedures costing anywhere between $6,000 and $11,000 dollars, many patients are beginning to elect for a more conservative approach to care. Surgical procedures also have about 90% recurrence rate within five years. For these reasons, our team has prepared this short article to provide you some general information about carpal tunnel and the alternative treatment solutions available.
Many people have visited Dr. Pritchard inquiring about the symptoms and treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome. When seeking out treatment options, it is important to consult a professional that has experience working with people that have carpal tunnel syndrome. There are a variety of occupations that have a higher chance of developing the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome: those who use repetitive motions of wrists and hands, those that use vibrating machines, and those that work with bent wrists and hands. Regardless of your occupation, if you have any of the following symptoms, you should get it examined by a professional as soon as possible.
The most appropriate treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome largely depends on the underlying cause. As with most conditions, it is advised that patients begin with a non-invasive and more affordable treatment. While prescription medications, decompression surgeries, and physical therapy may provide short term relief, the symptoms often reappear without the correction of the nerve interference in the wrist, elbow and spine. Your chiropractor at Potent Chiropractic will perform an evaluation of your condition and formulate an individualized treatment plan that best suits you. Following wrist, elbow, and spinal corrections, many patients experience substantial improvements in their symptoms. If symptoms persist, therapies to the surrounding tissues are often considered.
