Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Manhattan, New York, NY

Midtown Manhattan, New York City:  Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Wrist Pain.

Repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel, in most cases, can be prevented.  In today’s work environment the average individual spend a good part of their day hunched over a keyboard and mouse and like a magnet – their heads are drawn progressively forward towards their monitors.

This type of sustained posture, overtime, will lead to postural distortion and muscle dysfunction.  These changes overtime time lead to repetitive stress which irritates the articulating surfaces and surrounding soft tissues.  Once this occurs often enough an inflammatory process sets in which leads to inflammation and irritation of the nerves that supply the wrist, or the carpal tunnel.

In some cases a double crush syndrome can occur where there are symptoms of carpal tunnel as well as neck pain and perhaps even numbness and tingling in the shoulder or arm.  These types of cases are more complex and require therapy that addresses not only the wrist and hand but also the neck and arm.

Dr. Noam Sadovnik’s private practice in midtown manhattan specializes in non-surgical pain management and rehabiliation using such therapies as chiropractic, physiotherapy and physical therapies as well as cold laser therapy.  Cold laser therapy is a simple in office procedure that has shown to significantly reduce the pain and discomfort associated with carpal tunnel, wrist pain and cervical pain/radiculopathy.

If you think you may have carpal tunnel or symptoms such as the ones described above call our office at 800-617-0314 for a no obligation consultation and learn if you may be a candidate for cold laser therapy.
