Carpal Tunnel and Chiropractic

May 3, 2010 by Dr. Johnson

Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel problems are a common effect of repetitive motions to abnormally functioning joints of the spine, arm and wrist.

Chiropractic techniques that work so well with the spine can be applied to other joints in the body. Virtually every joint is susceptible to fixations and malfunctions that impair function and range of motion. Trauma, micro-traumas, vibrations and repetitive motions are often culprits.

The Tunnel

The carpal tunnel is a band of ligaments and small bones in your wrist. Painful symptoms can result when nerves are compressed by a collapse of this nerve “tunnel.”

The Spine

Many are surprised to learn that the cause of their wrist problem may be due to functional changes to one or more joints of the neck, shoulder, elbow or wrist. Subluxations in the upper spine can compromise the workings of any structure between it and the tip of your littlest finger. This is often called the double crush syndrome.

Other Extremities

Shoulders, hip problems, knees, ankles and even the jaw problems have been shown to respond to chiropractic care. Find out before resorting to drugs or irreversible surgery!

Chiropractic First

It just makes sense to take the more conservative approach first: chiropractic first, drugs second and surgery last! Schedule a consultation with an Association member chiropractor near you and find out what safe and natural chiropractic can do for you.

Chiropractors approach these cases with sensitivity and compassion.

Auto Accidents and Chiropractic

May 3, 2010 by Dr. Johnson

Auto accident.



Don’t be misled by the minimal damage to your car. People react much differently than glass, plastic and metal!

It started with a routine trip to the store.

Suddenly you hear a screeching of tires and the harsh sound of metal hitting metal. In the split second before you can brace yourself, you feel your car moving from some unseen force!

Hidden Damage

It’s tempting to minimize your own injuries because your car has sustained little or no damage. Research shows that occupants can be injured considerably more than what you’d expect from a dented fender or a broken taillight.

The Medical Solution

If you visit the emergency room, you may be given a clean bill of health because you don’t have any broken bones. You might get a prescription to reduce the muscle spasms caused by structural changes in your neck or lower back.

But you don’t have a drug shortage! After what you’ve been through, you’ll need a health professional that truly understands soft tissue injuries, spinal biomechanics and rehabilitation strategies. Call a chiropractor!

We Can Help

Whether it was a little incident in the parking lot, or two cars attempting to occupy the same space in an intersection, you need a professional who knows how to work with lawyers and insurance companies.

If you’ve been in a car accident, locate an Association member chiropractor near you. Chiropractors successfully help car accident victims all the time. It’s practically routine.

Common Questions

Q: Why do I have pain in my arms and hands?

A: Because the nerves to the arms and hands exit the spine through the injured area of the neck, numbness and tingling are common. Even lower back pain can result directly from the trauma, or as a reaction to the loss of proper spinal curves.

Q: Why did my headaches start more than a week after my accident?

A: Whether you’ve been in an accident, stressed at work, or over-exerted yourself in the garden, your body is constantly adapting to the environment. When your capacity to adapt is exhausted, symptoms can appear. This can take days, weeks, months or years to occur.

Q: Will I ever be normal again?

A: Many chiropractic patients report restored spinal curves and an end to their symptoms. Those who delay seeking appropriate care often discover that scar tissue and spinal instability lengthens full recovery and often requires periodic chiropractic checkups.

Dr. Johnson has a gift and has helped my husband and me with acute back pain and will squeeze us in to see us at a moments notice. In addition, we have gone on and off for maintenance and never feel pressure to come in more than necessary. He is gentle, personable, kind and very talented. Both my husband and I highly recommend him.

The best chiropractor I've ever been to. Dr Johnson knows where to work on you to help you heal and recover. He's patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He's helped me through some very painful injuries and helped heal some old injuries that I thought where going to be a life long struggle. I appreciate Dr. Johnson and his abilities.

Dr. Johnson and his team are great! Whether it’s just a quick tune up or addressing an injury there’s nowhere else I’d rather go. Even my wife and kids see him when needed. Visits are quick and to the point without sacrificing bedside manner. They’re also super military friendly!

While in Orange Country on business (from Eastern NC) I developed some pretty significant lower back pain while out on a run- the type of pain that made moving, or sitting, terrible. The idea of sitting in an airplane seat from one side of the country to another was akin to medieval torture. So I hobbled into Doc Johnson's office, was seen promptly. He helped me work out my lower back issue by the end of the week to where sitting in an airplane was bearable. I was across the country from home and needed some help, and he really came through for me. I really appreciate it!
