Unlock Relief: Nerve Flossing for CTS

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.

Dynamic Diagnosis: A Look at Romberg’s Test and Patient Safety

The Romberg test is a neurological procedure used to assess balance and can be used to gauge a patient’s risk of falling. Unfortunately, the test itself is a fall risk. The fall risk is not huge, and falls are not frequent. However, I have encountered a few situations that have influenced how I use and teach the test.

A Chiropractic Therapist Profession in the United States?
A Chiropractic Therapist Profession in the United States?

Sadly, Japan now has over 12,000 chiropractic therapists (Zenkenkai/JCA chiropractors), dramatically outnumbering the fewer than 700 DCs who have graduated from accredited chiropractic educational programs. These chiropractic therapists have a clear economic and political advantage that makes appropriate chiropractic legislation nearly impossible. What if this same thing happenened in the U.S.?
