Dr. Paula Weihler
Licensed Chiropractic Physician
We have been providing treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome in Yorkville for over 6 years.
One of the more common presentations of symptoms that we see at our chiropractic clinic in Yorkville is computer related hand pain, numbness, tingling, burning, aching and weakness (some or all of these together). Sometimes there is associated neck shoulder, or arm pain.
So the question becomes…what is the underlying cause of the symptoms?
Sure, these are the classic symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but the likelihood there is true CTS is rare. What’s more likely is that the cause of the CTS symptoms is a pinched nerve in the neck. After-all…the nerves that exit from in between the bones in the neck, travel into the upper extremities and innervate and control the arms and hands.
When there is pressure on these nerves in the neck it can cause the same signs and symptoms of true carpal tunnel syndrome.
Pinched nerves in the neck are mostly the result of bulging or herniated cervical discs, subluxated vertebrae, or degenerative disc disease…all of which respond favorably to chiropractic adjustments. In the event we need a little help, we have deep tissue laser or nonsurgical spinal decompression.
We do chiropractic adjustments to the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers on both sides. We do massage and exercise as well. We are also concerned with proper ergonomics, sleeping positions and nutrition. It is this comprehensive approach that has allowed us to successfully treat thousands of patients with CTS symptoms over the years.
So…if you are experiencing the signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome and would like to find out if you are a candidate for care…please call 630-553-7737 and make an appointment with one of our Yorkville Carpal Tunnel Experts Chances are, you will be glad you did
