Carpal tunnel syndrome is the pain, burning or tingling in the wrist caused by pressure put on the nerves in the carpal tunnel. Chiropractors can adjust the neck and upper spine to release pressure on the nerves as well as apply soft tissue treatments directly to the parts of the wrist to help relieve pain.

Recovering from a sports injury is a long process that involves healing the injury and rebuilding strength. Exercise will help to get the blood flowing to the injured area to promote healing.

Teenagers play a lot of sports, carry heavy backpacks and stare down at phones, books and computers and their posture and spine suffer as a result. Chiropractors can work with teenagers to help improve their posture and to make sure their body is in good alignment and the nerves are free and healthy to promote growth and proper development.

Nerves can get compressed from being irritated through inflammation, injury or misalignments. Chiropractic adjustments take the pressure off the nerves so the body can function properly.
