Did you know that according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is now the most common reported medical problem in the workplace?
According to Dr. Wiegand of Weldon Spring Clinic in St. Charles, MO, "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome accounts for nearly 60% of work related injuries. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons estimate that Carpal tunnel costs $27 billion annually in medical treatment and lost income!"
Carpal Tunnel affects the nerve function of the hand. Do you have any of the following symptoms? Aching of the hands and wrists, hands are numb and tingly, trouble holding objects, or less than normal hand strength?
If you said yes to any of the above, you might have symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. "It is most common among women between the ages of 40 to 60, but affects men and women of all ages and occupations."
You do not need to suffer anymore. Dr. Wiegand says, "Chiropractic care offers exciting opportunities to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome without the use of surgery. In the past, Americans received surgery to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. A new study shows chiropractic to be equally effective, without the need for surgery!"
Dr. Wiegand says "Increasingly patients are turning to chiropractic to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Surgery should be the last resort, not the first. In 80% of the cases where surgery has been completed, the symptoms have returned within two years. This is why more and more American workers are seeking out chiropractic as their first line of defense against Carpal Tunnel Syndrome."
