FAQs About Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
A common medical condition characterized by pain, numbness and weakness in the hands, wrists and forearms, carpal tunnel syndrome sends many men and women to King Chiropractic in Clarksburg, Urbana, Potomac, and Gaithersburg to see a chiropractor every year. Have your hands and wrists been hurting lately and you think carpal tunnel may be to blame? Here are three things a chiropractor can do for you.
1. Diagnose Your Carpal Tunnel
Your wrists hurt, but is it carpal tunnel? A chiropractor can let you know for sure. Chiropractors diagnose carpal tunnel using tests like the pressure-provocative test and the carpal compression test, both of which apply pressure to the nerves in your arm to reach a diagnosis. Whether you have carpal tunnel or a related condition, you will want a proper diagnosis so you can begin the most effective treatment plan possible.
