Many people with neck and arm pain go to chiropractors to help relieve their pain. This includes people with numbness in their hands and arms. There are numerous neck and arm conditions that respond well to chiropractic care including: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), cervical radiculitis, brachial neuritis, carpal tunnel, neuritis, and myofascitis/fibromyalgia.
By gently adjusting the cervical (neck) and upper thoracic (midback) vertebrae, a chiropractor can take the pressure off of pinched nerves, restoring the normal nerve impulses, decreasing the pain or numbness, and helping to balance the surrounding musculature.
In addition to adjusting the spine, Dr. Zager gives each patient specific exercises to help strengthen up their muscles which in turn helps keep the vertebrae in their proper positions. She also shows you techniques to help yourself at home, including massage techniques.
If you have neck or arm pain, call today for a consultation with Dr. Zager to see if chiropractic can help you.
