Chiropractic is not a treatment for
CTS, but anyone who is suffering from the condition should see a chiropractor to ensure
that his/her spinal column is free from spinal nerve stress or nerve impingement
(pressure). This is especially important for CTS sufferers since authorities have
demonstrated that there is a direct connection between arm and wrist pain and the nerves
that emit from the neck. (7) A spine free from nerve stress will be in a better position
to heal itself from CTS (or any other condition). The musicians and workers who suffer from CTS are not only using their wrist in their tasks - the neck is also involved. Thus, it may be that the altered spinal movements created by strain on the neck aggravate the condition. |
