Carpal tunnel syndrome is the MOST COMMON nerve entrapment condition in the body 😲 It is caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the narrow tunnel in your wrist 🖖 Common symptoms may include: numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand 👋

🚨 NECK PAIN 🚨

Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions to develop 🚩 It is also one of the biggest economic burdens on the healthcare system 💰 It is also commonly a top 5 cause of disability 😖 Majority of neck MSK problems will greatly benefit from conservative manual and physical therapy 💪 There is still some confusion when it comes to neck pain and what to do if we develop neck pain 🤔

I have answered some common questions and misconceptions...
❌ There needs to be a specific injury
❌ Whiplash only occurs in car crashes
❌ Neck pain is the only symptom
❌ Rest is best
❌ Severe pain = serious problem

As always, whenever we develop aches and pains, it is always best to get these problems investigated by a trained healthcare professional 👨‍⚕️ Although majority of neck MSK problems will heal on their own, seeing a chiropractor may speed up recovery and prevent re-injury/re-occurrence 🙌

If you have any questions about your neck pain or any other pains you feel, send me a DM and let's get started 👊

"[As a profession] it is our duty to patients to provide the best care by exploring safe and evidence-based alternatives for pain management. The recent study on opioids' failure in treating acute low back and neck pain highlights the urgency of this issue. Chiropractic care offers a drug-free option that targets the root causes of pain, providing relief while minimizing the risks of opioid addiction. By embracing evidence-based chiropractic care and integrating it into healthcare teams, we can revolutionize pain management and prioritize the well-being of our patients." -Dr. Ayla Azad, CEO of the Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA).

Une nouvelle étude révèle l’inefficacité des traitements aux opioïdes pour les douleurs dorsales et cervicales.

« [En tant que professionnels], nous avons le devoir de fournir les meilleurs soins aux patients en explorant des solutions sûres s’appuyant sur des données probantes pour traiter la douleur, souligne la Dʳᵉ Ayla Azad, directrice générale de l’Association chiropratique canadienne (ACC). Les soins chiropratiques offrent une option non pharmacologique qui soulage en ciblant les causes profondes de la douleur et en réduisant au minimum les risques de dépendance aux opioïdes. En adoptant des soins chiropratiques fondés sur des données probantes et en les intégrant aux traitements des équipes médicales, nous pouvons révolutionner la gestion de la douleur et mettre le bien-être de nos patients au premier plan. »
