Carpal Tunnel (how to relieve your wrist)

Chiropractor in Laval

Testimonial

Hello, my name is Michelle Bernachez, I am a chiropractor at the Chiro Ste-Rose clinic. We are here to talk about carpal tunnel syndrome. I'm going to show what the discernment procedures are for this problem. In addition, we'll see if you're a good candidate for chiropractic to address numbness and burning in your hands or to relieve your wrist.

When we talk about a carpal tunnel problem, we are talking about a narrowing of the canal at the wrist. This puts pressure on the structures in the wrist. This causes numbness and burning, especially in the first three fingers and half of the fourth. What happens most of the time is that the bones (there are 8 for this part) will move, it puts pressure on the structures. Then, when the carpal tunnel collapses, it puts pressure on the nerves and veins. This will result in irritation in this area. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

The work of the chiropractor will be to create a pressure to reform Carpal tunnelThis is to ensure that the bones move in the right way. There are several techniques. One way is to use a punch to put pressure inside the patient's wrist. The bones of the carpal tunnel are pushed with different intensities. Another technique is a manipulation with the hands, we apply pressure on the wrist with both thumbs.

It is also necessary to work the muscles that attach to these bones. When a person works a lot at the computer, the muscles of the forearms become stiffer and shorter. So, we come and do some light pressure along the length to soften them and make them work. We also ask the patient to do some stretching to work on flexibility in the forearm. This will help the bones to stop moving and relieve your wrist. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

So that was a quick overview on how to help cure this problem. All of these treatments work very well for this kind of condition.

Thank you very much!
