Could your carpal tunnel syndrome be masking an underlying neck problem? Discover the Holistic Approach at West Hartford Chiropractic!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is often misdiagnosed as a wrist problem, but the root cause could lie in your neck. At West Hartford Chiropractic, our chiropractic neck specialists have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating the underlying causes of CTS, which frequently stem from issues in the cervical spine. Our Chiropractors provide effective, long-lasting relief by addressing the source of the problem.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Approach

To accurately diagnose the source of your symptoms, our chiropractic specialists perform a series of thorough examinations, including:

• Comprehensive Physical Exam: A detailed assessment of your posture, range of motion, and physical condition.

• Neurological Exam: Tests to evaluate nerve function and detect any nerve compression or damage.

• Vascular Exam: Ensures that blood flow is not contributing to your symptoms.

• Orthopedic Exam: Identifies structural problems in bones, joints, and muscles.

• Chiropractic Exam: Focuses on the spine to detect misalignments that could be affecting nerve function.

• Digital Direct Cesium X-Ray Exam: Provides high-resolution images of the cervical spine, helping to identify any abnormalities or issues that might be causing your symptoms.

Advanced Chiropractic Techniques

Our chiropractic neck specialists utilize a variety of gentle, yet highly effective techniques to correct cervical spine issues and relieve CTS symptoms:
