Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome can experience anything from tingling, to burning, or numbness in the hand and fingers, especially in the area of the thumb and first two fingers. This is caused by the nerves getting compressed in the carpal tunnel of the wrist, often from chronic over usage like using a computer or repetitive manual labor. In some cases, strength and mobility in the affected hand can be significantly reduced as well. If left untreated, carpal tunnel syndrome can become a chronic condition that makes it difficult for those who need to use the affected hand due to significant pain levels.

The Graston Technique® has proven to help in the healing of patients with many cumulative trauma disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome. When a health professional uses The Graston Technique® in combination with chiropractic and suggested exercises for the injured hand then recovery time is generally accelerated. When this technique is used the therapist is able to penetrate the area deeper than a hand therefore providing better results in less time. Many carpal tunnel syndrome patients agree that this method of treatment works well and, in many cases, has saved carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers from having surgery.
