What are the most common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome?

Common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include: 1. Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in the hand 2. Weakness in one or both hands 3. Swollen fingers 4. Sharp, needle-like pain that radiates to the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers

How does chiropractic care help with carpal tunnel syndrome relief?

Chiropractors adjust the alignment of the bones in your wrist and hand, creating additional space for the median nerve. They also perform adjunct treatments, such as massage therapy, physiotherapy, decompression therapy, and manipulation under anesthesia.

What are the benefits of nonsurgical carpal tunnel treatment?

Carpal tunnel release permanently alters your wrist structure and requires a long recovery. However, chiropractic care naturally relieves tension, strain, and compression, helping you avoid the risks and downtime of major surgery.

How long does it take to see results from chiropractic treatment?

Relief from carpal tunnel syndrome varies depending on the severity of your condition. For mild cases, you may already notice results after a few sessions. Meanwhile, severe cases may require a few weeks or months of care.

Can ergonomic changes prevent carpal tunnel syndrome from worsening?

Yes, making ergonomic adjustments, such as modifying your keyboard setup, minimizes strain on the wrists and hands, promoting better comfort.

Do I need a referral for treatment at Zaker Chiropractic?

Trusted Myofascial Release Therapy in Torrance, San Pedro, Rancho Palos Verdes & Newport Beach

What if the key to unlocking your body's true mobility lies in your fascia? Zaker Chiropractic’s myofascial release therapy in Torrance, San Pedro, Rancho Palos Verdes, and Newport Beach offers precise methods to melt away tension and foster lasting mobility and health.

What Is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Fascial adhesions—tight bands within your connective tissue—cause chronic pain, restricted movement, and issues like back pain or post-surgical stiffness. Myofascial release (MFR) therapy, also known as trigger point therapy, treats this using a noninvasive approach.

MFR applies gentle, sustained pressure to fascial tissues, releasing adhesions and promoting elasticity. It targets trigger points and knots to encourage smooth fascial gliding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between myofascial release therapy and traditional massage?

Myofascial release therapy applies controlled pressure to deep connective tissue (fascia) to relieve restrictions and improve mobility. Traditional therapeutic massage primarily targets muscles, using kneading, stroking, and tapping to enhance relaxation and circulation.

Is myofascial release therapy painful?

Myofascial release therapy is generally gentle, though areas with significant tension or fascial restrictions may feel mild, temporary discomfort. Some soreness, similar to post-stretching, may occur but dissipates quickly.

How often do I need myofascial release sessions to start seeing results?

The number of MFR sessions required to see results varies based on an individual’s condition, severity, and response to treatment. Some people may notice improvements after one session, while others require multiple treatments and longer weeks.

Can MFR help with sports performance and injury prevention?

Yes, myofascial release can significantly prevent injury in sports performances. It enhances flexibility, range of motion, and muscle function while reducing soreness and the risk of common injuries, helping athletes perform and recover efficiently.

Are there any risks or contraindications for myofascial release therapy?

Myofascial release therapy is generally safe, but certain conditions may require caution. Rare risks include temporary discomfort, nerve sensitivity, or bruising. Those with acute injuries, infections, or circulatory issues should consult a healthcare provider before treatment.

Do I need a referral to receive MFR at Zaker Chiropractic?

No referral is needed! You can book an appointment directly with Zaker Chiropractic's team.

Praise from Our Customers

Saved from surgery!

“When I first visited Dr. Zaker I was in very bad shape, I had received many injections in the past that were not doing the job. My pain was still there every day, in morning and all throughout the day. The next step for me was surgery recommended to me by two of the surgeons that I visited. When I found out about spinal decompression for my low back I figured I would give it a try because it was my last option. After the first treatment I was very sore but by treatment number 15 approximately 80% of my shooting pain was gone. Dr. Zakers decompression table is nothing like I have seen before. It not only targets the low back but also targets a specific level where the herniation is and also the side it is on. I was saved from surgery.”

Barry Sams

Changed everything.

“After Dr. Zaker ordered my MRI in my neck and we discussed the results, it was obvious to me that my issues were serious. I had a 6mm herniation in my neck at multiple levels. Based on what my brother went through with pretty much the same problem I figured I would end up with a fusion just like him and would have to live with pain for the rest of my life. Dr. Zaker introduced me to the spinal decompression machine and it changed everything. After about 11 or 12 visits all of the tingling in my hands were gone. Although we were also treating me with stretches, muscles work, and strengthening the decompression table seemed to play an enormous real in keeping me out of surgery.”
