Castro Valley Chiropractor and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

I suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome during the last trimester of my pregnancy. My sister, who is a doctor, told me that it is quite normal to experience this during pregnancy because of water retention that compresses the median nerve in the wrist. I wasn’t enjoying this pain in my wrist especially after waking up in the morning so I went directly to my Castro Valley chiropractor and asked for advice on what treatment they have that would help me with my carpal tunnel syndrome.

Sure enough, my trusted chiropractor is familiar with this and advised me to get a chiropractic treatment to relieve me of the pain. After all, pregnancy should be an amazing experience for expecting moms like me and I don’t need to get tortured by these annoyances. So, I signed up for a treatment with him and he shared with me the treatment methods he recommends for my condition. And because I am pregnant, he didn’t ask me to have an x-ray because it’s not safe for pregnant women. After all, it is evident that I am suffering from water retention and I just need to relieve myself of the pain of CTS.

My Castro Valley chiropractor scheduled me for chiropractic treatments and he started with me immediately for my first session. He manipulated my elbow and wrist as well as my spine. I’m already used to chiropractic treatments as I’ve tried it before when I had a minor accident and suffered from whiplash. True enough, after the first treatment I already noticed incredible results. The next morning, I didn’t feel the same pain anymore and I was ecstatic. I even told my sister about it since she, too, was pregnant though she isn’t experiencing CTS yet because she was still on her first trimester.

I went back again for another treatment 2 weeks later and got my manual manipulation again and I was incredibly happy with the result. After I gave birth, I noticed I still feel pain on my wrist again when I stopped my chiropractic treatment and this is still caused by the water retention due to my pregnancy. I went back to my Castro Valley Chiropractor and he taught me about what I can do at home to reduce the pain and the inflammation and to avoid it reoccurring again. He already told me this before but I didn’t really put it to heart but this time, I decided to follow him.

I really would recommend chiropractic treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. This is not just a pregnant woman’s problem as many people suffer from this too. As long as the median nerve is compressed, you can get this condition especially if you are diabetic at the age of 40 to 60. I noticed my mom complains about her wrist too and I asked her to visit my Castro Valley Chiropractor. She will start her treatment next week!
