Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is an inflammation of the median nerve as it passes with the flexor tendons through what is called the carpal tunnel of the wrist.
The median nerve is the nerve that supplies nerves to the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger. General hand numbness is often misdiagnosed as CTS.
True Carpal Tunnel Syndrome involves numbness on the palm of the hand, as well as the thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
Carpal Tunnel symptoms include numbness, weakness, tingling, loss of fine motor movement, and sometimes atrophy of the muscles. Frequent typing and computer mouse usage are leading causes of Carpal Tunnel.
Our Approach
Carpal Tunnel is a condition that must be carefully diagnosed to determine the exact location of nerve impairment for the Lakewood health community.
We use specific tests and movement screens to isolate where the symptoms originate.
Specific treatment protocols and stretches from Active Release Technique, Chiropractic Biophysics, Pettibon and Chirometrex Exercises are used to improve the movement of the nerve and remove nerve compression in the wrist. MRI or nerve conduction testing may be used to help identify any nerve damage. Call 720-493-5885.
I never thought I would be seeing a Chiropractor My doctors had told me to stay away from them offering surgery as my only option for tingling/numb hands and fingers. When I met Dr. Jumper my hands were nearly useless and I was headed for a very invasive and dangerous surgery. So with a lot of skepticism, doubt, and some fear, I decided to give him a try. The x-rays revealed the severity of my situation but Dr. Jumper was sure he could help me without surgery and/or drugs. I chose to try working with Dr. Jumper and today the tingling and numbness are completely gone. My neck is nearly 100% recovered - with no surgery or drugs. I would not believe this if I hadn't experienced it for myself.
