Car accidents often lead to a range of hand and wrist injuries, almost exclusively affecting drivers. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common consequence of these injuries, resulting in pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hands. Without timely intervention, it can cause permanent hand damage.
At More Life Chiropractic, we specialize in providing comprehensive, nonsurgical carpal tunnel treatment in Burbank. Our approach includes a combination of chiropractic care, physiotherapy, manual therapy, myofascial release techniques, and neural decompression to address the root cause of your symptoms and promote healing.
Learn more about how More Life Chiropractic can help you overcome the challenges of carpal tunnel syndrome and restore your hand function.
Carpal tunnel syndrome commonly develops after sustaining hand and wrist injuries, such as strains, sprains, and fractures, in car accidents.
A study published in the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine suggests that blunt trauma from bracing the hands on the steering wheel or dashboard is the cause of such injuries. Additionally, these injuries can lead to post-traumatic arthritis or worsen preexisting arthritis.
Both injuries and arthritis can irritate or compress the median nerve running through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome. According to the same study, symptoms can appear within two months following the accident.
The primary symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome is numbness and tingling in the hand, especially in the tips of the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Usually, it is not a painful condition, though some patients report feeling a burning pain.
Carpal tunnel syndrome tends to develop gradually. At first, the symptoms may be mild and only felt at night. Over time, however, they can intensify and start affecting you throughout the day.
This condition can diminish your grip strength and hand dexterity. If not promptly diagnosed and treated, the ongoing nerve irritation can lead to lasting damage. The median nerve regulates muscle movement in your forearm and provides sensation to the palm, thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring finger. Prolonged pressure on the median nerve can make it difficult or even impossible to feel or use your hand.
Seek carpal tunnel pain treatment services as soon as you experience symptoms or notice any changes in the sensation or functionality of your hand and wrist.
To get a complete picture of your condition, we begin with a thorough physical examination and advanced imaging tests, including X-rays, EMG, nerve conduction studies, ultrasound, and MRIs. This allows us to pinpoint the exact issues affecting your hand and wrist so that we can address them with precision and care.
At More Life Chiropractic, we believe in crafting treatment plans that are as unique as you are. By understanding your specific needs and goals, we can provide personalized carpal tunnel treatment in Burbank that targets your individual symptoms and effectively supports your recovery.
Our carpal tunnel care involves a combination of various therapies to provide you with long-term relief and enhanced hand and wrist function. Integrating different treatments allows us to address your condition from multiple angles, helping you achieve better results and improve your overall functionality.
Chiropractic care for carpal tunnel focuses on spinal adjustments and targeted manipulation of the wrist and hand to alleviate pain and restore function. Through soft tissue therapy, we aim to reduce inflammation and improve mobility, helping you regain your comfort and ease of movement.
We understand the importance of strengthening and rehabilitating the wrist and hand after an injury. Our physiotherapy program includes tailored exercises designed to rebuild strength and enhance flexibility for a smoother recovery and better overall hand function.
Our manual therapy techniques involve hands-on mobilization and manipulation to enhance joint function and relieve discomfort. By directly working on the affected areas, we aim to improve your range of motion and reduce pain.
We use neural decompression to target the root of your discomfort—the median nerve. Reducing nerve compression alleviates symptoms and promotes healing, giving you significant relief and restoring optimal nerve function.
We use myofascial release to address and alleviate muscle tightness that can contribute to your discomfort. By applying gentle, sustained pressure to specific areas, we help release tension and improve muscle function.
Carpal tunnel syndrome can seriously impact your hand function, and the thought of losing the ability to use your hands can be deeply unsettling.
If you feel numbness or tingling in your hand after a car accident, don't ignore it. Consult our Burbank carpal tunnel doctor, Dr. Bijan Nowzari. He is a licensed and board-certified chiropractor with extensive experience in treating auto accident patients.
