Understanding carpal tunnel
Hand numbness, tingling or pain may involve the median nerve at the wrist, but similar symptoms can originate elsewhere. An examination helps narrow down the source.
Symptoms people may notice
- Numbness or tingling in the hand
- Symptoms with repetitive work
- Wrist, forearm or soft-tissue irritation
How chiropractic evaluation fits
Dr. Keith evaluates the history, movement, involved joints and soft tissues, and neurologic findings when relevant. If the problem appears appropriate for conservative chiropractic care, he will explain the options. If not, referral or medical evaluation may be recommended.
Seek medical care promptly when needed.
Persistent weakness, muscle wasting, major trauma, severe swelling or rapidly worsening neurologic symptoms need medical evaluation.
