Did you know chiropractic can help Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).  Here are some facts: CTS affects between 5%-10% of the population and 66%-75% sufferers are female. (1)

Conservative care (chiropractic and Physical therapy) rivals surgery.  In fact, adjustments can increase the size of the carpal tunnel(3) reducing the compression on the nerve. Steroids injections and opioids may not be useful according to one study. (2)

If you’re suffering from CTS or trying to avoid surgery call Dr. Steve!
