This patient came in with numbness, tingling, weakness, elbow pain, wrist pain, neck pain, and even headaches and dizziness after a whiplash injury. She had been told surgery at the wrist might be the answer, but when we broke the case down further, the bigger issue was coming from the neck.
The nerves that affect the hand travel from the neck down the arm, which means the true source of the problem is not always where the pain shows up.
After targeted care and laser therapy, her grip strength improved and the carpal tunnel symptoms started to calm down.
That’s why every case has to be evaluated differently. The pain may be in your hand, but the problem may start somewhere else.
If this sounds like you, don’t ignore the bigger picture. Call Souder Chiropractic at 303-385-3432 or visit souderchiropractic.com to schedule an evaluation.
