Everyone talks about carpal tunnel syndrome which affects the thumb side of the wrist, but what could be that cause of pins and needles and/or pain on the little finger side of the wrist? There could be a couple of syndromes, Cubital Tunnel syndrome or Tunnel of Guyon problems. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome - my patients usually complain of pain in medical forearm pain and pins and needles into the ring and the little finger. Usually people that do sport with throwing activities are more likely to suffer from this. - upon evaluation the chiropractor will often check the elbow in different flexed position. Tunnel of Guyon - Again this is where patients come in complaining of numb or tingling sensations in the little finger and adjacent finger. - Often caused by compression of the ulnar nerve ( thats the main difference between this and carpal tunnel as that is compression of the median nerve) - The main types of people are ones with handlebar compression with cyclists.

What Are The Best Muscles For Dry Needling? What is dry needling? We use acupuncture needles to help release muscle tension and pressure. Most commonly in my patients, I leave the needle in for around 5 to 15 minutes depending on the extent of the muscle complaint and how responsive the patient is to the treatment. When the needle is inserted into the muscle there are several reactions that occur to heal the body, including: 1. Resetting the tight muscle back to a normal resting length. 2. Improve blood flow. 3. Decrease pain and release neurotransmitters. 4. Improve Movement The best muscles that respond to dry needling are: Deltoids- A common cause of shoulder pain, and great for people that do a lot of push-ups and heavy overhead weights. Latissimus Dorsi- Can cause shoulder pain and back pain. TFL-ITB- When this muscle becomes tight, it can cause knee pain Glut Muscles- dysfunctional glut muscles can cause lower back pain, hip pain, and knee pain. Gastroc/Soleus muscles- My personal favorite as these are really sore to work on when I treat patients but the needles are really effective in relaxing the muscles Upper Trapezius- Common sore muscle that leads to poor posture, and prolonged stress and can be very painful Infraspinatus- This muscle often gets weak and overloaded when we use are arm and shoulder a lot. Wrist extensor- Tennis elbow relief Temporalis- great for tension and general headaches. We have been helping our community for over 10+ years with their muscle and spinal problems.

Health Wise Chiropractic Could Help Your Shin Splints Have you ever had a complaint in the front or the back of your lower legs? It could be Shin Splints. One of the most common problems is walking and/or running on a hard surface. My patients often complain of a deep ache and is often better when the patient doesn't put weight on the legs. One of the believed causes is the fact the muscles that are used for shock absorption ( tibialis anterior, extensor hallucinating longs, and digitorum longs) are placed under extreme pressure in walking and running on hard surfaces. How Can Health Wise Chiropractic Help? In the initial phase, we often recommend rest from running, applying ice, and maybe taping. Studies have shown that a dietary change to increase calcium can help Although it can be painful, some muscle therapy to the muscles can be beneficial. Chiropractic adjusting the tibia and fibula bones can give relief. We have been helping our community for over 10+ years with their muscle and spinal problems.
