This month’s body signals workshop will be on Repetitive Strain Injury. We’ll be specifically looking at the upper body with the 3 top areas being the shoulder, elbow and wrist for RSI.
Carpal tunnel syndrome affects the wrist and hands. It can cause pain and numbness which makes work difficult. You probably know someone who has undergone surgery to “correct” carpal tunnel, only to see the pain return shortly after. What you probably don’t know is that up to 75% of people who have surgery for the carpal tunnel will have the pain return within two years!
This is because surgery focuses on releasing the pressure on the median nerve, but what about all of those years of repetitive motion and stress on your elbow, shoulder, and neck? The long-term stress on all of these structures needs to be addressed as well to find lasting relief from carpal tunnel syndrome.
Many people with carpal tunnel syndrome spend hours performing repetitive motions with their arms and hands. This also places a tremendous amount of stress on the muscles and tissues of your neck. New research has shown an extremely high correlation between wrist pain and a restricted range of motion in the neck.
Interestingly, more significant pain in the wrist led to a more substantial restriction in the neck.
By establishing an improved range of motion in your neck, you can make a huge impact on pain in your wrist and hand!
While medicine may focus on treating the median nerve, chiropractic rather will address the entire spectrum of issues that can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
By establishing a better range of motion in your wrist, elbow, shoulder, and neck, you will be free to move through your day with less pain. Reducing the inflammation in your soft tissues and strengthening your postural muscles will also help you find long-term relief.
