Forsyth County – Alpharetta Chiropractor And Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Doctor Comments:
Approximately 2/3rds of employees from industrialized countries use a computer on a daily basis and one of five spend at least 75% of their total work time behind a computer. It’s no wonder so many suffer from neck, shoulder, arm pain, including carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). There are many reasons for the presence of CTS in office workers who utilize a computer. The following is a partial list of causes:
Approximately 2/3rds of employees from industrialized countries use a computer on a daily basis and one of five spend at least 75% of their total work time behind a computer. It’s no wonder so many suffer from neck, shoulder, arm pain, including carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). There are many reasons for the presence of CTS in office workers who utilize a computer. The following is a partial list of causes:
· The computer screen is not positioned correctly in front of the worker forcing the neck to be rotated to the side or the head has to look up or down too far.
· The mouse and/or keyboard is placed on top of a counter, too high to operate without significant bending of the wrist, often against the sharp edge of the counter.
· The shape of the keyboard is flat, forcing the hands and wrists to pronate (roll inwards) too far. This places more pressure on the nerves in the forearms.
· The use of a mouse usually requires the entire arm to move, frequently running off the mouse pad requiring repositioning.
· Paper work data that needs to be entered in the computer is placed too far off to the side and sustained neck rotation is required during the data entering process.
· The chair and computer desk do not fit the person’s height (either too high or too low) and/or the feet don’t touch the floor.
· There is too much glare from windows or overhead lighting making it difficult to see the screen.
· In the aging worker, poor eye sight requires the use of magnifiers which can be quite distorting when the head is moved, even a small amount.
· There are often other medical conditions that the computer operator may have that increase the likelihood of developing CTS such as obesity, hormone replacement therapy, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroid, the use of birth control pills, and others.
Therefore, the treatment of CTS must be multi-factorial and sometimes address one or more additional health issues that may co-exist. There are also frequently, many similar overuse types of conditions present in addition to CTS such as neck strain, thoracic outlet syndrome, nerve compression at one or more locations such as the neck, shoulder, elbow and forearm as well as at the carpal tunnel of the wrist.
Each patient’s case is unique and a careful history is usually needed to uncover these potential contributing conditions so they can all be properly managed in addition to CTS. Because we spend a lot of our daytime hours at work, a careful work related history is important to identify potential “ergonomic” (design) culprits that can be fixed with simple workstation adjustments.
These may include mouse/keyboard placement to an under the desk pull out tray to eliminate the need to overly bend the wrists and eliminate the pressure from the counter top edge. Raising a chair and placing a box under the feet while sitting (for shorter workers), switching to a track ball mouse so only thumb movement is needed to move the pointer (or a touchpad as found on most laptops), an ergonomic keyboard (curved, not flat), moving the screen in front and slightly down from eye level, prop paperwork on a stand-up tray close to the screen so only eye movement is needed, wearing appropriate quality eye glasses possibly with bi- or trifocals, are some potential work station remedies. Treatment that addresses all the contributing issues frequently includes neck, mid-back, shoulder, elbow, forearm, and wrist/hand.
Chiropractic manipulation and low-level laser therapy are especially well suited to address these issues because of the whole body treatment approach utilized. We are also well trained in evaluating the work related and will work with your employer to cooperatively improve problems that may be perpetuating the condition. If you or a loved one is suffering with carpal tunnel syndrome, sharing this information may be one of most significant acts of kindness that you can give to those that you care about.

Forsyth County – Alpharetta Chiropractor And Low-Level Laser Therapy Doctor Comments:
May patients ask me what the low-level laser is and how long it’s been around. Here’s the fascinating low-level laser story:
Albert Einstein proposed it way back in 1917. It sounded like something straight out of a science fiction novel. The use of low-level focused light waves as a therapy to heal tissue. But, just like most of his brilliant ideas… Einstein was WAY ahead of his time and everyone laughed at him.
It’s important to note… MOST of Einstein’s brilliance was thought to be foolishness by the scientific community of his time. And nothing has changed. Scientific breakthroughs – especially in health care – are often violently opposed by the status quo. That is unless some big-wig corporate fat cats stand to line their pockets with silver.
Anyway, it was 43 years after Einstein’s prediction that he was proven right and low-level light was first developed into a therapy. In 1960, Hungarian surgeon, Endre Mester, first reported his experience using laser light to treat non-healing infections and inflammations (swelling) in rats.
Mester’s reported a 70% success rate treating these infections which led to the
development of a science he called “laser biostimulation,” or the stimulation of the local immune system.
Today there is an entire science field devoted to this subject call photobiology -- The study of how light affects living things. Since 1967, more than 2,000 clinical studies have been published worldwide on low level lasers. Many of the studies are positive… but… many were small and not designed well enough to stand up to the scientific standards we have today.
Recently, however, all that has changed. One of the most difficult things I know is getting a patent and market clearance from the FDA for anything related to health care. Well, in February, 2002 the first patent and market clearance was given to a low level laser for the non-surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The patent and market clearance were granted after a low level laser manufacturer conducted double studies with General Motors and Baylor College of Medicine as part of their trials.
One of the numerous positive results was an amazing 75.6% of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome showed improvement. And listen to this: the study showed the low level laser even worked on patients that already had surgery.
And with so many modern medical “cures” causing worse problems then the conditions they were initially intended to treat… one of the most important benefits was… No Documented Side Effects! Not one. The only warning was not to shine the laser directly in the eye for a prolonged period of time.
Low-level laser therapy has been successful in helping patients with: Headaches, Fibromyalgia, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Back pain, Neck pain and Whiplash!

What if there was a magic wand that could erase most… if not all… of your carpal
tunnel syndrome pain, numbness and weakness? And, what if that magic wand could end your pain… for good... without popping handfuls of toxic drugs or having risky, ineffective surgery? Better yet, what if that magic wand could do it… in many cases… almost instantly? Well, guess what? There is no magic wand. But there is a carpal tunnel syndrome breakthrough treatment that research has shown to have a 75.6% patient improvement rate that can possibly…
Have You Out Of Pain In A Matter Of Minutes!
Don’t laugh. It’s 100% true. I know because that breakthrough is low level laser therapy… and I have the documented proof… and… I see nothing short of miracles happening to my patients just about every day.
Here’s a little warning: Not everyone has “miraculous” results. There is no such thing as “sure thing” when it comes to treating conditions that affect the human body. If you are looking for a 100% guaranteed cure… you won’t find it in this report… or anywhere else. Anyone that tells you they have a guaranteed cure… for anything… is a liar.

Antibiotics don’t work for some people. Everyone responds differently to diet and exercise. And not everyone seems to respond to the laser. A very small minority says the low level laser gave them no benefit at all. But with a well-documented 75.6% patient improvement rate… I think you’d have to agree the odds are well in your favor. So if you can live with those impressive odd!
If you’re a little skeptical – that’s okay… you’re welcome to call my office and ask for a FREE-Trial… you can test it out for yourself.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Did You Know That 95% Of The Problem Originates In The Neck?
Posted by Dr. Kurt Meininger at 1:21 AM
Forsyth County – Alpharetta Chiropractor And Carpal Tunnel Doctor Comments:
It is unbelievable how many patients have told me that they went to their general practice MD for Carpal Tunnel symptoms and their doctor only evaluated their wrist.
Most of the time the patient is given pain killers, anti-inflamatories and a wrist splint. They say none of the doctors they have seen for wrist pain have checked the neck.
The bottom line: 95% of the cause of pain, numbness and weakness in the wrist, hand and fingers originate in the neck. Why? Because the nerve roots that emerge from the cervical spine run along a pathway through the shoulder, arm, elbow and into the hand.
There is a simple test that can identify whether or not the Carpal Tunnel symptoms are originating from the neck or from the wrist... or both (double crush syndrome).
When I see a patient for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, I always evaluate the neck first... then shoulder... then elbow... and lastly the wrist. I always start at the source and work my way down the nerve pathway.
The reverse is true as well. Some patients have seen other chiropractors but they only treat the neck and do not treat the wrist, eldow or shoulder. Not all chiropractors work on the extremities.
My protocol for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is to adjust the neck, shoulder, elbows and wrists...as well as the rest of the spine.
In addition... I also use low-level laser therapy for all Carpal Tunnel Syndrome patients. Laser therapy (in a nut-shell) works by increasing the mitachondrial energy in the cell. The laser therapy protocol calls for treatment to the cervical nerve root (typically around C5/C6 disc level) as well as on the wrist itself.
