Is It Really Carpel Tunnel Syndrome?

Many cases of “carpal tunnel syndrome” have nothing to do with the carpal tunnel. Commonly, the problem causing pain/numbness in peoples’ hands is tight muscles. These tight muscles are usually in the forearms, armpit or neck. Do NOT have carpal tunnel surgery before having significant massage therapy and stretching sessions. I have had many patients avoid unnecessary surgery following a few body-work sessions. To be evaluated, call Marcum Chiropractic at 503-235-7130 and schedule an appointment with Dr. Hartwig. He will assess your condition and tell you the facts!
