Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in NYC

Q: Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors adjust or manipulate misaligned vertebrae (the bones of your spinal column) to restore correct functioning of your central nerve system. They may also work with other parts of your body affected by the misaligned vertebrae. Chiropractors may do this by using their hands and various mechanical and electrical instruments. “D.C.” stands for “Doctor of Chiropractic,” the degree New York licensed chiropractors must earn.Chiropractors care for patients suffering from a wide variety of symptoms as their cause relates to the spine, such as headaches; numbness; back, shoulder, neck, chest, rib, arm and leg pain; abnormal curvature of the spine; muscle spasms; dizziness; and even some stress, disorders, among others.

Q: Physical Therapy

Physical therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, is one of the allied health professions that, by using evidence-basedkinesiology, electrotherapy, shockwave modality, exercise prescription, joint mobilization and health education, treats conditions such as chronic or acute pain, soft tissue injuries, cartilage damage, arthritis, gait disorders and physical impairments typically of musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, neurological and endocrinological origins. Physical therapy is used to improve a patient’s physical functions through physical examination, diagnosis, prognosis, physical intervention, rehabilitation and patient education. It is practiced by physical therapists (known as physiotherapy in many countries)In addition to clinical practice, other activities encompassed in the physical therapy profession include research, education, consultation and administration. Physical therapy is provided as a primary care treatment or alongside, or in conjunction with, other medical services.

Q: ATM2® Backproject

Active Therapeutic Movement Therapy (ATM2®) NYC has a new technique to treat back & neck,shoulder, pelvis,hip & knee pains. You can experience a reduction in pain and increase in range of motion after the very first session of Active Therapeutic Movement Therapy (ATM2) NYC . By impacting the central nervous system, ATM2® teaches the joint a “new” pain-free way to move.This clinical tool is an upright table with three belts to stabilize your movement. Once the joint is moving comfortably, your practitioner will add a weight-bearing resistance component, which creates long-lasting results and immediately helps to alter symptoms. In order to increase the effectiveness of ATM2®, we will provide you with pain-free exercises you can do at home.

Q: Super-Pulsed Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy (Low level laser therapy) that stimulates healing while using low levels of light. The technique is called “cold” laser therapy because the low levels of light aren't enough to heat your body's tissueLow-level laser therapy is a form of medicine that applies low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes to the surface of the body. Whereas high-power lasers are used in laser medicine to cut or destroy tissue, it is claimed that application of low-power lasers relieves pain or stimulates and enhances cell function

Q: ABC™ Structural Correction

Known as the posture fix technique, Advanced BioStructural Correction™, known as ABC™ for short, is a revolutionary structural application which corrects spinal structure and function through the use of specific spinal, pelvic and extremity adjustments, in combination with specialized stretches called meningeal releases.

Q: Spinal Decompression Therapy

Nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks -- gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine -- by creating negative pressure in the disc.As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal.

Q: Shockwave Therapy

Shock wave therapy has emerged as a possible treatment option for patients with chronic tendon problems. The procedure uses either pressurized air or electromagnetic pulses to delivers shock waves to the body to help treat a variety of chronic disorders.Shockwave therapy, or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in NYC

If you have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome you will want to do everything you can to help relieve the pain and restore the strength to your hand and wrist. Unfortunately, this is not always as easy as you might think. Many doctors today jump right to recommending pain killers and/or surgery to treat the problem. While these types of treatments may be necessary in some cases, it is almost always better to start with more naturally, less invasive treatments. This is especially important because of the fact that these treatments can be so effective.

Here at our offices we have a variety of different treatment options that we can recommend so we can find one that will work best for you. Our offices are conveniently located to serve people throughout Midtown NYC, Midtown Manhattan and the surrounding NYC area. We will work with you to find the most effective treatments for your specific condition.

Treatment Options

The following are some of the many treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome. We’ll work with you to figure out which one will work the best and help you to get the results you’re looking for:

Physical Therapy – Physical therapy can often be enough to treat carpal tunnel syndrome on its own. Even when it is not, however, this type of treatment is almost always an important component.
Acupuncture – Acupuncture can often be used to help reduce the pain and swelling associated with this condition. In some cases this can help resolve the problem and in others it is just used to help reduce the pain.
Limit Movements – Sometimes simply limiting the motion of the wrist or fingers for a short time will allow your condition to improve on its own. We can find the right brace to allow you to get the best results while minimizing any inconvenience.

These are three common ways we treat carpal tunnel syndrome here in our office, but they are not the only three. To determine exactly how we will address your specific case we will need to talk with you and take a close look at your wrist(s). When ready, we’ll discuss all your options with you and come up with the best course of action.

We almost always recommend using the more natural or holistic treatments first because they can be extremely effective without all the negative side effects of surgery or drugs.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing method based on the concept that “Qi” (energy) flows throughout the body and the insertion of hair fine needles can increase and correct blockages of flow. Treatment facilitates blood circulation, oxygenating and transporting nutrients to the cells.

Acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system, which can help alleviate pain and correct imbalances that lead to disease and associated symptoms. Post treatment, you may feel relaxed, energized or uplifted.

Patients seeking a safe, painless alternative to prescription medication or the many side effects that accompany traditional medication, have found acupuncture to be both effective and successful.

Redcord Therapy

Redcord is a unique and effective concept for functional training. Carefully designed training using body weight and slings is at the core of the concept. A unique blend of applied scientific knowledge, patented equipment and guided advice from a certified professional ensures the Redcord system gets results.

Bridging the gap between performance oriented training and rehabilitation from injury is characteristic of Redcord's total and holistic approach.

OptoGait Analysis

What is OptoGait

is a system for optical detection made by a transmitting and a receiving bar. Each one contains 96 LEDs communicating on an infrared (visible) frequency with the same number of LEDs on the opposite bar. Once positioned on the floor or on the treadmill, the system detects the interruptions of the communication between the bars - caused by the patient’s movement - and calculates the duration and position. During the execution of a running, gait or series of jumps test, the contact and flight times can be measured with an accuracy of 1 thousandth of a second and the position of the interrupted LEDs with a space resolution of 1,041 cm. Starting from this basic data, the dedicated software measures in real-time a series of crucial data for the movement analysis

DIERS formetric 4D

The DIERS formetric is a light-optical scanning method based on Video-Raster-Stereography (VRS). Accordingly, the system consists of a light projector which projects a line grid on the back of the patient which is recorded by an imaging unit. A computer software analyzes the line curvature and generates from it – by means of the method of the Photogrammetrie – a three-dimensional model of the surface, comparable to a plaster cast. In opposition to x-ray, the DIERS formetric provides comprehensive information about the whole body statics and posture in only one measuring process, e.g. spine curvature (lateral and frontal), vertebral rotation, and pelvic position. Even muscular dysbalances can be detected based on the curvature image of the back surface.
