Cedar Park Carpal Tunnel Relief One of Many Treatments for Personal Injury

No matter how careful we are, injuries still happen. The Wellness & Better Health Chiropractic has long been treating those injuries in the Cedar Park and surrounding communities. Some of the most common injuries we see include whiplash from an auto accident, sprains from sports injuries, strains from work-related tasks, and back pain, neck and knee pain, headaches, and carpal tunnel, or CT.

Our chiropractor Dr. John Tuggle has a number of techniques to alleviate the pain and help the body heal. Dr. Tuggle first entered the field after his own personal injuries were successfully treated using chiropractic methods.

Personal Injury? Chiropractics Can Alleviate Headaches, Back Pain, Sprains and Strains

Whiplash occurs when the neck and head is suddenly and rapidly thrust in any direction. Such a quick and sudden jolt can disrupt the muscle joints, connective tissue and nervous system in the neck and surrounding area. Common symptoms include neck pain, headaches, back pain, fatigue, and aching shoulders, although symptoms do not always occur immediately.

Symptoms may take weeks, or even months, to manifest even if the damage has been done. This makes it extremely important to see our chiropractor following an auto accident to help correct any underlying damage before it can develop into a more serious issue.

CT tunnel continues to be a common injury our chiropractic clinic treats due to people’s continued use of computers, although typing is not the only culprit. Any type of repetitive motion, such as hammering and chopping, can lead to the condition, which is caused by pressure on the median nerve above the wrist. This pressure can lead to pain, tingling and burning, and a weakened grip.

Back pain, headaches, neck pain, and knee pain can also arise from a strain or sprain. Strains and sprains are frequently the result of sports activities or chores around the house and yard. Mowing the lawn, raking and lifting heavy objects can be particularly stressful and harmful to the back unless the full body weight is behind the motions and lifting is done from the hips, rather than the waist.

Our Cedar Park clinic offers several chiropractic treatments for injuries. Spinal adjustments, also known as manipulations, can help alleviate pain and heal injuries cause by a misalignment in the back or neck. Spinal decompression, which we administer with a spinal decompression machine, alleviates fluid build-up in the spine. Massage therapy, which can include gentle rubbing motions or deeper tissue work, also helps to alleviate the pain and strain of numerous injuries.

Cedar Park chiropractor Dr. Tuggle can use one or a combination of techniques, such as massage therapy in conjunction with spinal decompression, to help alleviate pain and promote healing, dependent on the specific injury to each individual. Each session begins with a consultation and evaluation to determine the best route to purse for the most effective pain relief and rapid healing.
