A Smarter Approach to Carpal Tunnel Relief in Traverse City

Is Your Wrist Pain In Traverse City Actually a Neck Problem?

The nerves that control your hands do not start at your wrist. They begin in your neck. This leads us to a phenomenon known as Double Crush Syndrome. Research indicates that a significant percentage of patients with carpal tunnel symptoms also have compression or irritation in the cervical spine (the neck).

When a nerve is irritated in the neck, it becomes much more vulnerable to compression at the wrist. If we only treat the wrist and ignore the neck, the symptoms will likely persist. As part of The Shift Solution, our first step is to identify exactly where the dysfunction is occurring so we can create a plan that actually works.

Our Process to Lasting Healing

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) is a game changer for carpal tunnel sufferers. Unlike traditional treatments that just mask pain, SoftWave uses unfocused shock waves to:

• Recruit Stem Cells: It signals your body to send its own repair cells to the injured median nerve.
• Decrease Inflammation: It helps clear out the biological "noise" that causes pain and swelling.
• Increase Blood Flow: Improved circulation allows the damaged nerve to get the nutrients it needs to regenerate.

This technology is non-surgical, non-invasive, and has no known negative side effects. Most patients feel a difference in mobility and comfort after just a few sessions.

To address the "Double Crush" aspect of carpal tunnel, we utilize elite chiropractic techniques including Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) and Orthospinology. By restoring the proper curve to your neck and ensuring your upper cervical spine is aligned, we take the mechanical pressure off the nerve roots. This allows the signal from your brain to reach your hand without interference.

Proven Results for Real Relief

We believe in evidence-based care. Research into Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (the technology used in SoftWave) has shown significant improvements in pain scores and nerve conduction velocity for carpal tunnel patients. Additionally, studies on Double Crush Syndrome confirm that addressing the cervical spine can lead to better outcomes for those who have failed traditional "wrist-only" treatments.
