Carpal Tunnel Q & A

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

Along your forearm, down to your wrist, runs a nerve called the median nerve. This nerve passes through a small passageway into your hand called the carpal tunnel. When your median nerve becomes squeezed or pinched within the carpal tunnel, the result is pain, numbness, or tingling, collectively called carpal tunnel syndrome.

What are the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome?

Carpal tunnel symptoms tend to start gradually, and your initial symptoms might be as minor as some occasional numbness in your thumb or index and middle fingers. As the condition progresses, this tingling or numbness can occur more frequently and start traveling along your fingers and wrist up to your arm.

In time, you might lose strength in the hands affected by carpal tunnel, and the pain caused by the condition might be great enough to rouse you from sleep.

How is carpal tunnel treated?

Before providing treatment, a team member first provides an ultrasound scan of your wrist to determine the extent of your carpal tunnel and whether there are any more serious conditions to blame, such as a bone spur or bone deformation.

Once diagnosed, your provider might suggest manual adjustments, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound treatment for your carpal tunnel.

Manual adjustments

Physical manipulation of your wrist and hand can relieve pain and reduce inflammation, improving mobility and allowing you to continue recovery.

Electrical therapy

Electrostimulation of your wrist and hand allows your provider to reach “deeper” muscles and tendons for pain relief. Dr. Khayami might provide this treatment if manual therapy proves too painful or ineffective.

Ultrasound therapy

A relatively new treatment option, ultrasound therapy uses ultrasound waves to promote blood flow. This jump-starts your body’s natural healing process, leading to quicker recovery.

Following initial pain relief, your provider recommends adopting a wrist exercise and stretching routine for further recovery. These exercises are also excellent for helping prevent carpal tunnel syndrome in the first place.

If carpal tunnel syndrome is hindering your work and keeping you from the activities you love, let Better Health Solutions provide effective family care chiropractic treatment for your recovery. Call to schedule your consultation or book online.

Great quick service that is effective!

Susan Vesecky

Dr. Khayami provides excellent chiropractic services. He listens to my concerns, takes the time to explain the specifics of my back issues, and tailors his care to my needs. He teaches stretching exercises to follow up with at home which have been very helpful. He does not push extra services or unnecessary office visits like I have run into at other practices. Simply said, Dr. Khayami is the best!

Faith Boninger

When I first called Abbas I was suffering from debilitating neck pain. He took me right away, and worked with me intensively for a few weeks until my pain was gone. Twenty minutes with him each month keeps me from ending up the way I was. I also appreciate the electrical stimulation he starts every session with. No other chiropractor I've seen has taken the time for that, and it's a nice extra treat.

Dustin N

Dr. Khayami does an amazing job. He uses the most up to date techniques. He does not try to rip you off by telling you that you need an excessive amount of appointments. He takes the time to give you advice that is specific to your daily routine. I highly recommend him. I have been to other places im the valley and you will not find better service.

Nancee Meleski

I highly recommend anyone needing chiropractic help go and see Dr. Abbas Khayami. He is focused on relieving your pain, not ensuring he has you as a patient for life. His adjustment routines provided me with relief of what I had thought was a chronic neck/shoulder pain.

Ali Dirubbo

Dr. Khayami Is the absolute best! I have seen him for a few months now and each time I go it is the best experience. He is very knowledgeable, has great bedside manner, and most importantly he truly puts his customers first and makes sure we are/get to our best. I will forever recommend him. He has changed the way I live my life for the better. Unlike other chiropractors I have experienced in the past, I appreciate how informative Dr. Khayami is so I am then more informed about how our body's work and make conscious decisions to better myself! Thank you so much Dr. Khayami!

Bridget Abraham

I’ve gone to Better Health Solutions once every 1-3 months for the past 5 years, and every time has been a phenomenal experience. Dr. Khayami has a wonderful bedside manner, and takes great care to explain his process thoroughly to ensure l'm comfortable every step of the way. The office is very organized and clean, and I'll continue to recommend him to everyone!

B S

I’m visiting from out of town and needed an adjustment, On Christmas Eve no less, and was able to get me right in. This is not some corporate office which is great because I like to support small private businesses. Did a great job. Very personable. Very accommodating. Would highly recommend. Will be back if needed.

Susanna Iris Astarte

Dr. Abbas is wonderful! I may have misspelled his name, but he is the best chiropractor I've ever had. I only go to him! He is professional, kind, and the best in town! Highly recommend! Definitely go see him!
