A hands on and non- invasive approach called Myofacial Release Technique used by many chiropractors, including Dr. Pourshadi, has proven very effective in treatment of patients with carpal tunnel symptoms in many cases. This technique in addition to gentle manipulation of carpal bone in the wrist, it also helps to remove fibrous adhesion along the nerve pathway. The doctor uses his thumb pads to apply pressure on the knots and nodules within the muscles and breaks up the adhesion fibers while the target muscle is actively engaged and lengthened by the patient. The feeling resembles a deep tissue message. There is no down time and no drugs to take and the suitable candidates often achieve positive results in a short time.
