Carpal Tunnel

IN ATHLETES

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a painful condition that happens when the median nerve in your wrist is compressed by swelling, often due to an underlying medical condition. It is one of the most common conditions affecting the nerves. Traditionally there were few options to deal with this problem and those available, such as surgery and medication, were invasive and expensive. Fortunately, Dr. Todd Schragen has success treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with a more conservative and gentle approach. If you are wondering whether your wrist pain is caused by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and want more details on the alternative treatments available at All Pro Health, then read on.

ABOUT CARPAL TUNNEL

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is usually accompanied by sensations of burning, pain, tingling, or swelling in the palm of the hands and extends into the first three fingers and the thumb. Occasionally people also report a feeling of swelling in the hand even when no swelling is present. Patients commonly experience weakness in the affected hand and have difficulty with picking up small objects. This condition can have a major impact on a person’s lifestyle and in some severe cases, if left untreated, the damage to the median nerve can cause permanent loss of movement in the hand.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME?

The pain experienced with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a result of the swelling and misalignment of tissues and bone which then press on the nerve. Often there is an underlying problem. Some patients have had an obvious injury, a stress or break to the wrist, that causes the symptoms to develop.

The most common cause is related to sports involving repetitive use of the hands and wrists or occupations that involve the long term use of vibrating instruments. At other times, this issue seems to develop out of nowhere. Metabolic disorders involving the pituitary and thyroid gland can be a contributing factor to the unexplained development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, as can pregnancy and obesity. More commonly, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, that develops in one or both wrists without a clear cause, is the result of a nerve irritation stemming from the spine.

HOW IS CARPAL TUNNEL TREATED?

Traditionally, Carpal Tunnel treatment has been limited to decompression surgeries, physiotherapy, and prescription medicines. Due to the fact that these options often fail to deal with the underlying problem, they may only provide short-term relief and, at times, can prove completely ineffective. When left untreated, or when unsuccessfully treated, people are forced to adapt their lifestyles to accommodate this debilitating issue. This may include needing help with basic everyday living.

Fortunately, many people are finding long-term relief from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome through chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic medicine is a non-invasive alternative that seeks out and deals with the underlying cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Dr. Todd Schragen will perform an evaluation of your condition and formulate an individualized treatment plan that will work to correct nerve interference in the spine and restore you to an optimal state of health. If you are noticing any signs of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome do not hesitate to call our team at All Pro Health today for a consultation.

Dr. Todd Schragen is amazing at what he does. I have patella femoral tracking disorder and it was very hard for me to do small tasks, after being treated and using ARP Wave I am now able to do everyday activities. He just started to incorporate ARP Wave into his practice. ARP Wave is one of the best things ever! I highly recommend All Pro Health and their services.

I'm a multisport athlete and I saw Dr. Todd Schragen for a shoulder injury involving several different muscle groups. After just one visit, he had the situation under control so I could start healing. Dr. Schragen has an amazing understanding of athletes and how we train (and sometimes overtrain!) and approaches his treatment plan with the objective of getting you back out doing what you love! He has also devised a daily set of movements to keep his patients tuned up for a long life of activity. This guy is knowledgeable, compassionate and thoroughly understands his practice and patients. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

I started going to All Pro Health after having not done any kind of therapy or strengthening for years. Due to my diagnosis, it was assumed that I couldn’t build muscle, but Dr. Todd Schragen was not discouraged and gave his best effort to help me get in the best shape possible. After only a few sessions I felt a dramatic improvement in the way my body felt and operated. He brings both a wealth of knowledge, as well as a great energy. This is definitely the best experience I’ve had with physical therapy and will continue here to keep improving.

After experiencing pain in my foot and seeing a podiatrist for 8 months without relief, I saw Dr. Todd Schragen and within 10 seconds he identified a bone that was out of place.

His energy, finesse and expertise has made all visits enjoyable. Dr. Schragen is my miracle worker!!
