carpal tunnel syndrome
Jamie
had never heard of "carpal tunnel syndrome" (CTS) until he
developed pain in the wrists and hand 2 years ago. Being a
a plasterer by trade, he was accustomed to overhead work
and strain on his hands and arms.
So bad did the constant hand/wrist pain become that he was
diagnosed with CTS, and he wore immobilising braces on his
wrists every night.
He then heard about chiropractic and came to see me. Within
a few days he slept without pain. Within 2 weeks he ditched
the braces. Within months he experienced no pain, no return
of his "carpal tunnel syndrome".
We did not "manipulate" or adjust his hands, arms or
wrists. Nor did we massage the muscles of the arm or hands.
We adjusted the atlas, the first bone in the neck, and the
rest of his spine.
Therefore, in the strictest sense, he never had CTS. There
was little wrong with his wrist. And the only thing missing
from his lifestyle was chiropractic and upper cervical
specific adjustments.
Unsurprisingly, no doctor ever suggested chiropractic, as
they are virtually untrained in detction of wrist problems
that originate in the neck. It was vertebral dysfunction
that caused Jamie's condition, and that is why he has
allowed me to tell you his story. He also tells me that he
feels better emotionally and mentally "within himself".
After two years of suffering and gradually seizing up
movement in his whole body, it is of little wonder.
