As carpal tunnel progresses and inflammation worsens, you may find it difficult to gripping objects due to muscle weakness, numbing, or a tingling and burning sensation.
How can Chiropractic Care Help?
Carpal tunnel syndrome may occur with repetitive motion, such as typing, texting, or repetitive motion with the hands assembling things at work. Carpal tunnel is almost always a result of what is known as a double crush syndrome.The cervical spine/neck initially is subluxated (Bones misalign causing nerve pressure), first which cuts nerve flow off to the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the arm. As a result, this can cause an imbalance in the in the muscles and tendons and can easily lead to a thickening of the tendons and the fascia surrounding the wrist. Then the inflammation can cause a compression and inflammation of the median nerve in the wrist. However, the origin of the median nerve from the upper spine is what started the downward spiral and that subluxation could have potentially started years ago, which results in the carpal tunnel syndrome presently. So how can Chiropractic Care help? If you have a problem with your wrists you may need a Chiropractic adjustment of the upper cervical spine and/or laser treatments to help relieve and heal the inflamed nerve and tissues. After an adjustment, you'll rest the affected arm and may apply cold to reduce any inflammation to allow the hand or elbow to move more easily and most importantly heal safely on its own.

Gucciardo Specific Chiropractic and Natural Health Center
Dr. Gucciardo was born and raised in Queens, NY. He attended Archbishop Molloy Highschool where he played baseball and then went to Pace University in Pleasantville, New York to continue playing baseball at the Division 1 level and graduated from The Lubin School of Business with a BBA degree. In early childhood he had watched his brother receive chiropractic care from a local chiropractor because he was diagnosed with scoliosis in his early teen years. While receiving care, his brother also had other health benefits that amazed Dr. Gucciardo. Then one day while playing basketball at age 11, Dr. Gucciardo fell and injured his hip and lower back. He was checked out by the same chiropractor his brother was receiving care from. Some adjustments were made and things improved.
