Killeen TX, 2014/Press Release: If you often experience a feeling of tingling, numbing and weakness in your hand or fingers you might be suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. A number of factors can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome such as Obesity, Diabetes, Arthritis, Hypothyroidism, inflammation in tendons and a sprain or injury to the wrist.
Corrective Chiropractic and Wellness, a leading chiropractic center serving Killeen TX, offers effective treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The chiropractors at the clinic use various non-invasive treatment options for treating the conditions related to hand and wrist. They diagnose the condition and its extent to determine the correct chiropractic treatment.
As part of the initial treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the chiropractors may advice patients to take rest, apply ice pack to reduce the inflammation and perform certain exercises. They may also suggest them to wear a brace or splint to support the wrist depending on the severity of the condition.
Treatment options for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
Manipulation: Misalignment is one of the main causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and the doctors at Corrective Chiropractic and Wellness usually manipulate the arm, wrist and upper spine to rectify this misalignment.
Ultrasound therapy: This can also be used to promote the healing of tissues and to reduce pain. Chiropractors may use a device that emits sound waves to enter the affected tissue and provides relief to the muscles.
Electrical Stimulation: This therapeutic therapy is used to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling in the affected area. It uses low frequency electric current to contract the affected muscles and promote pain relief.
