Chiropractic Care

Many people are aware spending excessive time on a computer can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or Lateral Epicondylitis (commonly known as Tennis Elbow), but this is also true for the intricate movements required to play a musical instrument. Whether professionally or recreationally many musicians spend hours each day performing the same repetitive movements with their hands. This can lead to the same symptoms associated with operating a keyboard and mouse all day. Many musicians don’t know that the aches and pains they experience could be Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or Lateral Epicondylitis, and in many cases those symptoms can be treated with regular Chiropractic care. Scott, a long time patient, recently explained that for years, he had been dealing with severe pain in his wrists after playing his guitar. After performing a show, he would ice them for hours and at times the pain was so intense he was unable to sleep. After 2 months of regular adjustments, and following a prescribed regimen of Ultrasound and exercise therapy, we are proud to announce that Scott is virtually pain-free!
