Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

                                                                                                              Here at Beck and Blackley, we pride ourselves on getting great results with carpal tunnel syndrome cases. Sometimes they are very simple and other times much more complex.  However, it doesn't matter which case it is, conservative treatments should always be attempted before any surgical intervention is done.

Sue, 46-year-old nurse presented with numbness, tingling and weakness in both hands.  The first 2 fingers on the right hand were severely numb and tingly.  A thorough neurological and orthopedic examination was performed.  The results showed a moderate loss in normal cervical (neck) range of motion and a moderate loss in right shoulder range of motion.  Positive Phalen's Test. Positive Tinel's Median Nerve.  Upon checking her cervical myotomes, (which means muscles that are controlled by nerves from the neck), I found that her C-5 (nerve) deltoid (muscle),  C6 biceps,  C7 triceps, & C8 finger flexors were ALL below the normal strength level.  That being said, carpal tunnel syndrome can affect the entire upper extremity as it did with Sue.

We corrected and up regulated cervical myotomes with the use of Quantum Neurology, neurological rehabilitation, a GRT light, chiropractic and rapid release.  Dr. Beck's shoulder protocol and an arthrostim were used in correcting her shoulder and neck range of motion.

This was a very conservative approach and worked extremely well.  There's nothing better than helping a person with a complex pain syndrome especially when using a safe, effective, noninvasive treatment to do so.
Susan was ecstatic with the results!  What a pleasure it is to be able to change lives without the use of drugs and surgery.
