Looking to avoid wrist pain associated with playing golf, tennis or pickle ball?
Apr 20, 2022 -- Posted by :Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is most often associated with repetitive movements and inflammation that effects the function of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist. Due to Vitamin D playing many roles in the body when levels are low, nerves may be more susceptible to injury and take longer to heal. Recent studies have identified vitamin D deficiency as a risk factor for CTS, as well as more severe CTS-associated symptoms.
One such option that the CTS patient may encounter in the chiropractic setting is laser therapy. Below is a link by the National Institute of Health explaining why high-intensity laser treatment may be beneficial to someone affected by carpal tunnel.

What is carpal tunnel syndrome and who can help near you?
You may have a “funny feeling like a numbness frequently called paresthesia. Even a handshake may be painful or weak. Some people around your area have prescribed chemicals that may temporarily reduce the numbness but not fixing the problem. The numbing in the fingers can be annoying and even debilitating.
You may want to see a study on chiropractic effectiveness for carpal tunnel such as this one:

Also, if you feel arm pain it may indicate things are getting worse and may indicate a bulge on the disc or worse yet a herniated disc in your neck. Persistent or worsening pain intensity and/or frequency necessitates a visit to see a professional in your area.
