Wrist and hand pain
If you have a job that involves working with your hands, you may find that you have a high level of pain at the end of the day. Even hobbies like woodworking, sewing, painting or knitting may cause you to develop chronic pain in your hands.
Instead of taking over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers that can lead to other health problems and side effects, a chiropractor may be able to help relieve your symptoms and restore the range of motion in your hands, wrists and fingers.
Relief Is Closer Than It Seems
However, it doesn’t have to be all bad news. Over the years, we have treated thousands of patients, and a very high percentage have found their way back to recovery – even when it seemed there was no light at the end of the tunnel.In some cases, pain in your wrists or hands could be the result of a misalignment of the bones in your neck or upper back.
Wrist and hand pain
The nerves that innervate your fingers, hands and arms originate around your spinal cord. A slipped disc in your back could be compressing the nerves that eventually lead to your hands. This could cause pain, tingling or numbness. A course of treatment of chiropractic adjustments with the Ipswich Spine Clinic can help to get your spine back into the proper alignment.
Chiropractors can apply techniques that reduce inflammation in your hands and wrists. This can be especially helpful if you have conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis. The chiropractor can use electric muscle stimulation to relieve the pressure and inflammation in your hands and wrists. As the inflammation subsides, you should have less stiffness and tension in your hands. Your range of motion should also improve.
Once there is no longer any inflammation in your fingers, hands and wrists, we can recommend a number of hand exercises and stretches. These activities, designed specifically for you are meant to keep your tendons, joints and bones relaxed and in their proper positions.
Relief Begins with the Right Support
Whether you choose to proceed with treatment is entirely your decision. If the care you need is beyond our scope, we will refer you to the appropriate healthcare professional. Book your Appointment today and take the first step toward lasting back pain relief.
