If you use your hands a lot you may find they are in pain at the end of the day. Instead of taking medication,a a chiropractor may be able to help your pain symptoms and restore some range of motion back to your hands. Read on to learn more.

Bone Realignment

Your hand pain may be as a result of bone misalignment in your back or neck as the nerves in your hand originate at your spinal cord. If you have a slipped disc, it can cause the compressing of the nerves leading back to your hands, causing pain or numbness.

Inflammation Reduction

Chiropractors use social methods reducing the pain in your hands and wrists especially if you have arthritis or carpal tunnel. Electronic muscle stimulation can be used or tissue massage or ultrasound can all help relieving the pressure you are under. As the pain subsides you should find your range of motion gaining once again.

Stretches and Exercise

Once the pain has gone away the chiropractor can show you stretches and exercises to help keep everything properly aligned. You can do these between visits to the chiropractor and prior and after doing certain activities. Very useful for people who regularly utilize electronic devices and keyboards.
