It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.

Tragic Mistakes
According to an article in USA Today1, the "annual toll of medical harm" is:
- 1.3 million injuries
- 180,000 deaths
- $50 million total costs
- $14 billion uncompensated costs
As this is the "annual toll," one has to question the overall risk and cost of many medical procedures. It would be quite enlightening for the public to have access to the risk factors of all forms of medical care as compared to chiropractic care BEFORE they make their health care decisions.
