Chiropractic techniques that work so well with the spine can be applied to other joints in the body. Virtually every joint is susceptible to fixations and malfunctions that impair function and range of motion. As many Dayton area folks find out, trauma, micro-traumas, vibrations and repetitive motions are often the main culprits.
The Tunnel
The carpal tunnel is a band of ligaments and small bones in your wrist. Painful symptoms can result when nerves are compressed by a collapse of this nerve "tunnel. There are usually 10 structures that pass through this tunnel and when there is inflammation present that affects the nerves and vascular supply to the hand, causing hand pain and dysfunction. The Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery is the second most common surgery performed each year in the United States. Explore your non-invasive options first, you can always go and have surgery later but you just might not need it after a series of manipulations.
Many are surprised to learn that the cause of their wrist problem may be due to functional changes to one or more joints of the neck, shoulder, elbow or wrist. Vertebral Restrictions in the upper spine can compromise the workings of any structure between it all the way down to the tip of your littlest finger. This is often called the double crush syndrome.
Dr. Merkle & Dr. Dyer says "Shoulders, hip problems, knees, ankles and even jaw problems have been shown to respond to chiropractic care. Find out before resorting to drugs or irreversible surgery! Call our Dayton office today to learn more."
