Carpal tunnel syndrome causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the thumb, index, and middle fingers from median nerve compression at the wrist. But the nerve originates in the cervical spine — and for many patients compression is occurring at multiple points along that path. Treating only the wrist misses the bigger picture. Dr. Robert Townsend, DC evaluates the full nerve chain from the cervical spine to the wrist and treats accordingly.
Oakland's remote workers, warehouse employees, cyclists, and musicians are among the most common presentations in this office.
