Is Typing or Doing Fine Work With Your Hands Painful?

By Tom Herrin

You may feel like people no longer work with their hands in this modern age of technology.  Even if you are the one doing it, you don’t often think of your work as manual.  That reference may still seem to imply someone who does heavy labor, but a tremendous number of individuals today work with their hands.  With the abundance of computers, many of us use keyboards.  Anyone working in assemblies or repair or handling any kind of small items can experience problems with their hands.  Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that is extremely common and results from the repetitive use of the hands.  It can be quite painful.  If this sounds like you, chiropractic may be able to provide a quality treatment for your problem.

How Does This Injury Happen?

A repetitive stress injury, most commonly carpal tunnel syndrome, occurs when we perform the same activity over and over.  The carpals, or wrist bones, are put under constant stress forming a sort of tunnel.  The result is damage to the nerves that run from the forearm through the wrist.  The surrounding soft tissue often becomes swollen.  This pain can be quite uncomfortable and debilitating.  You may also experience tingling and/or numbness.

How Is A Chiropractor Going To Treat This?

Some of this injury may be related to the upper part of the spine.  Often when we are doing something with our hands frequently, we are subconsciously moving our upper arms and shoulders as well.  A slight misalignment of the vertebrae can place pressure on the nerves resulting in pain.  Your chiropractor can also work with your hands and wrists.  Their goal is to alleviate your pain by natural means as much as possible.  No one needs the agony that can be associated with pain medication because so many become dependent on them.

You May Discover A Whole New Lifestyle

Once you visit your chiropractor, you may find a completely different perspective about pain treatment.  A chiropractor will not only treat pain but also work to improve your overall health and fitness.  You will surely enjoy the benefits of less pain and renewed health in general.  At The Joint Chiropractic, your needs are their greatest concern.  No insurance is necessary and no appointments are, either.  The Joint has more than 360 locations, so they are here to stay.
