Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

TIP: If you read joint pain article first, you will better understand Carpal Tunnel Syndrome condition.

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed, as it travels through the wrist at the carpal tunnel. People who are surgically treated for CTS still feel pain when they overuse their arms.

Why do you think CTS remains, even after surgical treatment? Many people suffer from CTS, yet, they do not have true CTS but suffer from wrist tendonitis.

Tendonitis at the wrist will cause swelling which may compress the median nerve. As you read in joint pain article, the tendonitis is caused by muscle tension (forearm muscle), and consequentially, overuse of forearm makes Carpal tunnel syndrome worse.

Most doctors and practitioners tend to overlook muscle-related problems because they are never picked up by MRI, CT scan, X-ray and Ultrasound. Even though you suffer from wrist pain, they cannot make it better. You end up taking medications.

Chiropractic spinal manipulation, on a relevant spinal level, might improve nerve supply to the wrist area. On top of that treatment, DTMT might be very effective to help the forearm muscle and remove CTS.

If you think you might be suffering from Carpal tunnel syndrome, please get in contact with our clinic to begin treatment as soon as you can.

Child Growth

Observe the kids playing; they run around, jump, bend over and fall frequently. Have you ever thought about how much stress their bodies must be going through during their entire childhood? Just to remind you: that’s what we, their parents, went through as well, and that’s where all our future problems began.

There are growth plates in every bone in your body. Long bones, like those in legs and arms, grow faster than other bones. If we develop too much muscle tension through running around, and ardent exercise, the tension will start to pull the tendon on the knee attachment and inflict pain.

Moreover, the stiff muscle will interfere with the growth plate on the long bones; the muscle needs to be stretched regularly, as well as muscle treatment applied to remove tension.

Often there is a mention of the so-called “growing pain”, or knee pain during the child growth, but there is no such thing. If the growth was painful indeed, the babies would suffer more than any other age group because they are growing so fast.

Most doctors and practitioners tend to overlook this muscle-related problem because it is never picked up by MRI, CT scan, X-ray and Ultrasound. Even though you suffer from knee pain, they cannot make it better. Your children end up putting up with the pain, often with an addition of medications.

Chiropractic spinal manipulation, on a relevant spinal level, might improve nerve supply to the affected muscle area. In addition, DTMT might be a very effective treatment of relevant muscles.

Parents and guardians, if you think your child might be suffering from the side-effects of injuries, falls, or hits, please get in contact with our clinic to begin treatment as soon as you can.

Pregnancy

It is common knowledge that during pregnancy women gain weight. But in terms of the physical balance of the body, and everyday movements that the body is used to do, the size of the tummy may significantly influence strain in the lower back muscle.

If you suffered from back pain before the pregnancy, the back pain will only get worse. It is imperative to keep your back muscle relaxed. Restoring good muscle memory, both during and after pregnancy, will reduce inevitable pain that occurs during the first two years of nurturing your baby.

Gentle chiropractic spinal manipulation, on a relevant spinal level, might improve nerve supply to the affected muscle area. With it, DTMT can very effectively treat relevant muscles.

Expecting mothers, please get in contact with our clinic to arrange treatments which can help you during the pregnancy, and in months after it.

Joint Pain

Joint pain follows inflammation, such as tendonitis or arthritis. Let’s put the scenario: you want to eat an apple at the table.

  • Step 1: You saw the apple on the table, and the message received in the brain was “The apple is there, I want to eat it”.
  • Step 2: The brain sends a message to the leg muscle to stand up and walk to the table.
  • Step 3: The leg muscles pull the tendons to move the bone at the joint, initiating the movement.

Under normal circumstances, a muscle pulls the tendon only when it requires movement.

But if your muscle is already over-contracted, it continuously pulls the tendon; the pulling is bad enough to produce irritation but not strong enough to move the bone, and (eventually) start ripping it off from the bone. That condition is called tendonitis.

As a result, inflammation occurs in the tendons (tendonitis), in the joints (arthritis), and the bursae (bursitis). Patients find that the pain worsens with movement after prolonged rest. Some examples: standing up from the sitting position, getting out of the car, getting out of bed.
