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.

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