The "Double Crush" Syndrome – Resolving Chronic Wrist and Arm Pain

Explore Common Pain Conditions: Wrist, Arm, and Hand Numbness

If you spend your day typing in an office near Peachtree Dunwoody Road or scrolling through your phone during a commute on GA-400, you may have noticed a familiar, nagging sensation: tingling in your thumb or "pins and needles" in your palm. Most people immediately jump to a diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).

However, at Pinnacle Chiropractic, we find that the wrist is often just the "end of the line" for a problem that actually begins much higher up. This is known as Double Crush Syndrome. It occurs when a nerve is compressed at the neck and again at the wrist. To solve this, we use MyoVision technology to create a digital "Stress Map" of your cervical spine, identifying exactly where the nerve is being "kinked" at the source.

The Role of Adjunct Massage Therapy

To ensure the nerve has a clear path, we utilize Massage Therapy to release the soft-tissue obstructions in the forearm, shoulder, and neck. When muscles are chronically tight, they act as "secondary crush points." By combining a precision Gonstead adjustment to the neck with therapeutic massage to the arm, we clear the entire pathway for the nerve to glide freely, providing relief where surgery often fails.
