The Cure to Beating Numb or Tingling Hands


Have you ever known someone that complained of pain, numbness, or tingling in the hands or fingers?  
What do you think causes this to happen?

I see people all the time who tell me, "I have a numb and tingling sensation in my hands, it must be Carpal Tunnel Syndrome."  My response to them is, "Maybe."

Let me explain.  The nerves that give sensation to your hands come from your spinal cord and branch out in your neck.  When a person has a sensation or pain problem in their hands, the problem area can therefore be in their hand OR their neck!
To determine where the problem originates, simple tests are performed like taking neck x-rays.  The reason we take x-rays of the neck is because there should be a normal position for the curvature of the neck, and if your neck is shaped differently from normal, then that could be the reason the nerves in your neck are causing the symptoms in your hand.

If we determine that the curvature of your neck is within normal limits, then most likely the problem is with the nerves specifically in your hand or wrist.  For Carpal Tunnel treatment, specific stretching to both the muscles and nerves in your wrist and hand and performed.  Most people see a difference in the severity of their symptoms after a couple weeks!

If you or someone you know has a problem with their grip strength, has pain in their wrist or hand, or has numbness or tingling, I am offering a FREE personal consultation talk to determine if I can offer you a solution.

All you have to do to take advantage of this offer is call Active ChiroCare by 6PM on Wednesday July 27th to take advantage!
