Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Stemming From Your Neck? Maybe NOT!!!!

Are you experiencing numbness and tingling in one or both of your hands?  Weakness and incoordination in them as well?  Well, you may be experiencing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!... or are you?!   Did you know that symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome may actually be stemming from your neck!

Before I explain this surprising fact, let me tell you about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. 

As can see from the diagram on the right, the carpal tunnel is not actually within the wrist, as so many people think, it's actually located at the base of the hand.  Through this tunnel passes several tendons that attach to your fingers and squeezed amongst those tendons is your Median Nerve.  Over top of those structures, you have the Transverse Carpal Ligament that holds everything in place.

It should be noted that the carpal tunnel is quite small and all the tendons and the median nerve are literally squeezed inside.

So through repetitive strain (e.g. via repetitive tasks like typing, screw driving, cutting, etc) or trauma, the carpal tunnel becomes inflamed and the tendons begin to squeeze the median nerve and that's when you experience the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (e.g. numbness and tingling, weakness and muscle wasting in your hand(s))

So typically, when people experience Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, they will visit their family doctor and your doctor will initially give you a prescription for anti-inflammatory medication or a suggest getting a wrist support and if the symptoms persist, then they will recommend surgery.

So nothing is working and you opt for surgery, but the doctor wants you to get a Nerve Conduction Velocity test (a test that measures the speed at which signals are sent through your nerve.  If is slowed then there is impingement of the nerve).

You sit in the specialist office and they hook up the needles in your hand and arm (not a pleasant experience, but one that has to be done).  Well, it has been determined that you have a slow signal speed in your nerve, you do have carpal tunnel and consequently you undergo Carpal Tunnel surgery... but it FAILS!  You still have the symptoms!





Carpal Tunnel Surgery can fail for 2 main reasons...

   1. Post-surgical scar tissue formation - Due to the invasive surgery and the inflammation that develops after, scar tissue is laid down and wraps tightly around your median nerve and creates the same symptoms that you had undergone surgery for.
   2. The cause of you carpal tunnel symptoms NEVER stemmed from your hand in the first place!

So let's address point number 2.  But before I do, let me give you an analogy.  We have all heard of Sciatica (pain shooting down ones leg from a problem stemming from the back).  Some people will only experience sciatic pain and not back pain.  So would it make sense to operated on your calf or ankle if you experience sciatic pain?  Of course it wouldn't!  You would naturally address the problem in the back to remove your sciatic pain.

Well, did you know that the same nerve distribution that originates in your back and goes down into your legs is essentially the same as the nerve distribution that stems from your neck and goes down into your hands!

If you notice from the picture on the right, you will see that your nerves starting from your neck travel all the way down your arm and down to your finger tips, much like the nerves in your back go right down to your toes.

So having said that, if you have something pinching your nerve in your neck, would it make sense that you would have a decrease in the speed of your nerve impulse in your hand?  Of course it would!

Think of it this way, if you turned on your garden sprinkler and you noticed that little water was coming out, would you throw away the sprinkler and buy a new one? Did you say "Yes"?

Well what if the problem was a blockage at where the hose is attached to the facet?  Too late.  You already tossed away a perfectly working sprinkler and the problem was with the hose!

Do you get my point?

If you have a history of neck trauma (from a car accident, a fall, poor posture etc.), have a history of neck pain, headaches, dizziness, ringing in your ears (tinnitus)... chances are you have a problem in your neck!

And if that problem is a cervical disc herniation, degenerative disc disease or spinal arthritis, this damage can put pressure on your cervical (neck) nerves and cause your carpal tunnel syndrome!

My suggestion... before jumping to the conclusion of the diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, have your neck examined... especially if you have the above mentioned symptoms or history of neck injuries.

Because if you don't,  you can have surgery on a healthy wrist and then create symptoms in your wrist due to post-surgical scar formation.  You're problem has to be addresses at the source, because if it isn't then not only will your symptoms get worse, but so will the damage in your neck!

If you want an expert opinion on neck pain and to have a complete and thorough examination to determine where your carpal tunnel syndrome is ACTUALLY stemming from, give The Toronto Spine Clinic a call to book your FREE consultation!  Our doctor is an expert in neck pain and he can accurately assess where your problem is originating from and determine the PROPER procedure to address your condition.

Back Pain with Damp Weather or When it Rains? Toronto

You probably joked (while in pain) that you knew it was going to rain because you started to feel a lot of back or neck pain. 

Do you know why damp conditions or rain bring on 

back and neck pain... or any other joint pain for that matter?

Well, the reason why this occurs is most likely because you have developed arthritis, degenerative disc disease and/or degenerative joint disease.

Spinal arthritis, degenerative disc disease, and degenerative joint disease are all essentially the same condition.  They are all associated with spinal disc and joint decay.  In fact, the same arthritis that you may experience in your hands, hips, knees, etc is the same arthritis that you experience in your spine.  The major difference is that it is a lot more serious when your arthritis is located in your spine!

The image to the left is an illustration of what spinal arthritis, more specifically degenerative disc disease, looks like.  The discs, coloured in blue, are thinning as you make your way up the spine.  For instance, the lower disc in this illustration (which is the lowest part of your spine) is a healthy thick disc, but as you make your way up the spine you will see that it progresses to mild degenerative disc disease, to moderate, to advanced - where the disc is just a fraction of its original height.

As your spinal condition progresses and the intervertebral discs begin to decay further, your spinal joints (which remain open and healthy when  your spinal discs are thick and healthy) begin to close up and start to rub together.  When this occurs,  you will begin to experience more and more back pain (or neck pain )

Now, because the joint are now starting to dysfunction, naturally they become prone to the negative effects of external stimuli such as weather changes.  When there is dampness in the air, moisture enters the joints and the joint become inflamed, stiff and painful.  Of course, with a healthy spine, weather changes do not have an impact on your joints.

So typically your pain comes, many people reach for their pain medication, down a few and wait for them to kick in so that they can start off their day with less discomfort.  Problem with this is, as you may already know from reading the Toronto Spine Clinic's previous blogs, is that you haven't fixed the problem, but  your medication, you are now able to be more active, but in fact, what you are doing is creating more damage to your back.

So what can you do to help remove your pain?

First and foremost, rehabilitation of your disc is of primary importance.  For without fixing the cause of your problem, your pain will never go away.  But in the meantime, 3 powerful supplements can be taken to aid in your recovery (and they can all be found at your nearest health food store).

1. Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate - great for disc and joint recovery.  However, there are two major forms, Bovine Trachea (i.e. cow windpipe) and Sea Cucumber.  Bovine trachea has a very low absorption rate, whereas Sea Cucumber has a very high one PLUS there is a naturally found potent anti-inflammatory component found within.
2. Boswellia - a genus of tree that is a very strong anti-inflammatory
3. Bromelain - also a very strong anti-inflammatory supplement found in pineapples.

Although these are great supplements, The Toronto Spine Clinic in conjunction with Douglas Labs (one of the most reputable natural supplement companies in Canada) has developed one of the most powerful and effective supplement blends for disc, nerve and tissue rehabilitation on the market today. This supplement is exclusive to The Toronto Spine Clinic and cannot be found in any stores.  It is called "Advanced Disc Recovery with Nerve Cell MAX"

We at The Toronto Spine Clinic have partnered up with Douglas Labs because we wanted to provide our patient with not only a higher success rate for recovery, but we also wanted to enhance the effects for LASTING results.  For a more detailed look at our unique and powerful recovery supplement, please click "HERE".

So along with providing our patients with the most sophisticated non-surgical spinal decompression therapy for spinal disc regeneration, by using our "Advanced Disc Recovery with Nerve Cell MAX" our patient recovery rate is incredibly high.

Experiencing A Lot of Morning Back Pain? - Toronto

Why is it that you wake up with so much back pain in the morning?  Yes, you have a lot of back pain during the day... but your somewhat active, so it's justified to have pain.  But at night when your sleeping, you're doing nothing but lying there without straining your back!

Well there are a few reasons why you may be experiencing pain... and without a doubt, if you are above the age of 40, it's one or a combination of two things... spinal arthritis/degenerative disc disease or a disc herniation.

Before we dive into the above, morning back pain can also be due to the way that you sleep!  The number one way to wake up with back pain, is by sleeping on your stomach. 

Important to note here, that morning neck pain can be due to the above mentioned reasons as well!  That is, if you suffer from a disc herniation, spinal arthritis/ degenerative disc disease or you sleep on your stomach, you can almost guarantee that you'll have neck pain in the morning... and if you don't yet, you soon will.

Sleeping on your stomach will lead to morning pain because your pelvis, which is anatomically heavy, will rotate downwards and jam the joints in your back, this will lead to joint damage, inflammation and pain.  As for your neck, when lying on your stomach, you will have to torque (twist) out your neck to one side.  This twisting of your neck, much like the joints to your lower back, will lead to joint damage, inflammation and pain.  (At the end of this blog, I'll tell you the best position to sleep to minimize back pain.)

Now remember, this pain will occur even if you have a healthy spine!

As mentioned above, if you have a history of chronic neck or back pain, chances are you are now suffering with spinal arthritis, degenerative disc disease and/or a disc herniation.

Having spinal arthritis or degenerative disc disease, your spinal discs have started to decay and so the joints are now closing up and rubbing together.  Thus, sleeping on your stomach, which already causes the joints to jam, will now create a lot more pressure or jamming of your joints because of the spinal arthritis!  

If you have a disc herniation in your neck or back, sleeping on your stomach can cause that disc herniation to pop out further and therefore cause more pain and sciatica (note: you can also experience sciatica with spinal arthritis).

"But I Don't Sleep On My Stomach and I Still Wake Up With Morning Pain!"

At the Toronto Spine Clinic, we hear this all the time.  Unfortunately, when you wake up every morning in pain, it's not a matter of sleeping position.... it's now a matter of not moving when you sleep.

Confused?

When you experience degenerative disc disease or spinal arthritis, your discs are decaying or becoming thinner.  So, as your discs become thinner, the joint spaces in your back get smaller and smaller.  So when lying down sleeping, you are not moving very much and so the blood flow to the area decreases, the area gets colder, the muscles start to tighten and because the muscles start to tighten, it causes your already tight joints to close up even more.  When this happens, as mentioned above, your joints are further damaged, you develop inflammation and pain.

Ever notice, that when you are finally able to get out of bed and move around a bit, the pain starts to lessen?  Well, the reason why this happens is because you are now warming up the area... blood in being flushed in, the muscles are loosening up and so the joints are opening up.  When your joints open up, the pressure is removed and so the pain lessens.

Unfortunately, this is not lasting because the more active you are, the more damage you create to your spine and the worse your problem becomes!

What needs occur in order to remove your pain is rehabilitating your disc... which is the origin of your problem!  If you are able to increase the height of your degenerated disc, you are able to open up your spinal joints, remove the pressure off of your joints and ultimately remove your pain!

This is exactly what is being achieved at the Toronto Spine Clinic.

Here at the Toronto Spine Clinic, we specialize in the treatment of severe and chronic neck and back pain.  In fact, all that is treated here at our clinic is spinal arthritis, degenerative disc disease, disc herniations and failed back surgery.  

As you can see from the video below, by using our highly sophisticated non-surgical technology, we are able to rehabilitate your degenerative disc such that your joint no longer rub together and if you are experiencing sciatic pain due to bony pressure on your sciatic nerve, by rehabilitating your disc, we can also remove the pressure off of your nerve.

By addressing the direct cause of your condition, we are not just able to remove your pain but we are able to provide LASTING results. 

So as you can see from the video, our treatments are very target specific.  In fact, 89-90% of the treatment forces will be applied directly to your problematic disc.  Therefore, by having the ability to be so precise, your body can quickly be rehabilitated!

Some patients are concerned that the treatments are painful, especially since their are already in tremendous pain before starting care.  Because there is an advanced computerized patient monitoring system built within our technology, the treatments are very gentle and patient typically have instant relief in pain when their treatments start.  In fact, treatments are so gentle, that patients often fall asleep while under care!

You thought we forget to tell you the best way to sleep to minimize your pain didn't ya?

First... you need to have a medium firm matress.

Secondly... when sleeping on your back, place a pillow either under  your knees or under your thighs.  When sleeping on your side, but a pillow not only between your knees, but also a small one along your waist (i.e. the side that is lying on the bed)

You always want to keep your spine in an aligned position and this is achieved by placing pillows in the above mentioned areas!

Spinal Decompression Therapy - Disc Herniation Therapy - Toronto

Spinal decompression therapy for severe neck and back pain... what is it?

Well there are basically 2 types of Spinal Decompression treatments...

1. Surgical Spinal Decompression.
2. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy.

Surgical Spinal Decompression is the one that everyone fears.  It is the one that your medical doctor will often either tell you that it is too dangerous to perform on your neck or back (which may be caused by a disc herniation, spinal arthritis, degenerative disc disease and/or facet syndrome) and so they advise against it.

As such, your medical doctor advises you to try all other treatment before undergoing surgery for your neck and/or back pain.

Why would your medical doctor advise you against having spinal surgery if he/she thinks that you need it?

Well, the reason is because spinal surgery has such a high failure rate.  In fact, the failure rate is so high that a new diagnostic category was developed in the medical field... "Failed Back Surgery Syndrome".

Understand the significance of this new category... there is no other equivalent term for ANY other medical procedure!  That's how risky spinal surgery is.


People who are suffering with disc herniations, spinal arthritis, degenerative disc disease and/or facet syndrome are often in significant amount of pain, their quality of life has almost vanished in front their eyes and perform every task with the thought of how their back or neck pain is going to be affected.  Consequently and justifiably, their major focus is to get out of pain and get out of pain fast!

Consequently, more often than not, people will go to their medical doctor or to the emergency room for prescription pain medication to immediately remove their pain.  As mentioned in our previous blog posting, medication does NOT remove the problem, it only takes away the pain and actually makes your condition worse because you have not addressed the cause of your pain.

Many of the patients that we see have had a surgical consult (or two) and have opted out or have been advised to seek other treatments first.  So these patients do.

In fact, 80% of the patients that come into our clinic, The Toronto Spine Clinic, have already seen a chiropractor, physiotherapist, acupuncturist and a massage therapist... and with little or no relief in their pain and symptoms.

Patients that we see are often upset that they have spent all this time and money with these various treatments and they think that they have been duped of their money or that these treatments are "junk" treatments.

We understand our patients' frustration, but what I tell all of our patients is that all of these types of therapies are very good, but their condition has fallen beyond the scope of these disciplines.  As such, despite all efforts, their condition cannot be resolved.

However, these are the typical patient that come to The Toronto Spine Clinic of  our advanced treatment protocol.

At The Toronto Spine Clinic, we specialize in the treatment of acute/chronic severe neck and back pain.  In fact, that's all we treat.  The conditions that we treat are degenerative disc disease, spinal arthritis, disc herniations, facet syndrome and certain cases of failed back surgery.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression therapy has the ability to rehabilitate your damaged disc in such a fashion as to not only remove your pain, but to provide lasting results.

How is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression therapy able to achieve this?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression therapy is able to address the exact cause of your pain AND by using a strict comprehensive approach that is unique to The Toronto Spine Clinic, we are able to remove your disc herniation and rehydrate your degenerative disc (i.e. "plump" it up) so that the spinal vertebrae and or herniated disc are no longer pressing on your nerves and remove the pressure off the joints... thus removing your pain at its source.

Here are two videos that describe our treatments.

DISC HERNIATION TREATMENT AT THE TORONTO SPINE CLINIC

DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE TREATMENT AT THE TORONTO SPINE CLINIC

Truth About Degenerative Disc Disease Treatments -Toronto

So what is the truth about degenerative disc disease and treatments?

Well, as so often is the case, when one experiences neck or lower back pain they will first visit their family doctor and they will be initially given a prescription for pain medication.  After a month or so you go back to your family doctor because despite taking your pain medication, your pain is still there.

So then your doctor has you sent to get an X-ray and it reveals that you have spinal arthritis or degenerative disc disease in your spine.  Your doctor then says, "Well, you have some arthritis in your spine.  It's normal.  Don't worry just take these meds and it will eventually go away."

Right off the bat there are 2 massive errors in what your doctor just told you!

1. Spinal arthritis and degenerative disc disease is NOT normal! If it was a normal function of the body, then you would not be in pain nor would you eventually become incapacitated with pain as the problem gets progressively worse.  You're doctor is doing a great disservice to you by trivializing your problem and just shooing you off with pain medication and rest.
2. Pain medication will NOT fix the problem of spinal arthritis and degenerative disc disease as such, as your condition gets progressively worse, so will your pain and your reliance on medication.

At the Toronto Spine Clinic, one of the biggest mistakes that we hear our patients making is that they thought that their problem would just go away.  The fact of the matter is, it doesn't.  Although your pain may diminish to a certain degree, your degenerative disc disease progresses.

Typically, your pain may diminish to a certain degree because your nerves become desensitized to your pain... your nerve receptors are not responding to the pain as they used to and so you develop a higher pain threshold.

HOWEVER...

although it may sound great on the surface that you don't feel as much pain or that you can handle more pain than the average person... the fact of the matter is, you are unknowingly waiting for the "STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK"!

Meaning, as your degenerative disc disease gets worse (i.e. more pain pain, sciatica, leg weakness, incoordination, groin pain, hip pain, etc.) you back develops more and more instability, until one day you roll over to get out of bed or perhaps lift up your child, do a bit of raking or snow shoveling and then it happens... seemingly out of no where, you experience pain that you had never felt before, pain that drops you to your knees and pain that will not go away no matter what you do.

Then you ask yourself... "How can this happen?  I didn't do anything to hurt my back!  I've been taking my medication, I've watch what I've been doing and I was told my pain will go away!"

You're condition never did go away!

Your discs were silently degenerating more and more because you were taking your pain medication that was blocking off your body's Problem Detection System and you never addressed the CAUSE of your pain and symptoms... you only masked it!

In order to correctly address your problem, 

you have to address the CAUSE!

By addressing the cause, you create lasting results!

Fortunately, we have the solution for your degenerative disc disease.  The Toronto Spine Clinic specializes in the treatment of severe and chronic neck and back pain due to spinal arthritis, degenerative disc disease, disc herniations and failed back surgery syndrome.

Here at The Toronto Spine Clinic, we use the most advanced non-surgical technology to address the CAUSE of your neck and back pain by directly rehabilitating your damaged disc.  Our sophisticated treatment technology can rehabilitate your degenerated disc(s) so effectively that not only can your pain be removed, but we can create proper joint function and spinal stability and thereby creating LASTING results!

You may be thinking to yourself that our treatments sound too good to be true.  Our patients tell us that all the time (click "HERE" to read some of our patient testimonials).

Here at The Toronto Spine Clinic we provide our patients with the most advanced non-surgical treatment technology offered on the market today and along with our comprehensive treatment protocol (Click "HERE" to learn more), we are able to provide our patients with an extremely high success rate.

Disc Herniation Treatment - Toronto Spine Clinic

Having a disc herniation is one of the most painful conditions that one can suffer from.  Whether the disc herniation is in your neck or in your lower back, the pain can be so excruciating that it can render you completely bed ridden.

Disc Herniation

Pictured to the left is segment of the spine (neck or lower back) where the disc material has herniated out and is now pressing on the spinal nerves (i.e. a disc herniation).

The intervertebral disc (i.e. the cushion between the vertebrae) is made up of an inner jelly-like substance (light blue in the diagram) surrounded by annular rings (pink colour in the diagram) that contain the jelly-like material within the disc.

However, through trauma (e.g. falls, motor vehicle accidents, etc), poor poster, heavy lifting etc, the annular rings can tear and the jelly-like material can begin to leak to the outside of the disc and press on your spinal nerves.

When this disc herniation occurs, it can cause significant amount of pain.  Symptoms include...

• Burning, numbness and tingling in your arms/legs.
• Localized neck and/or back pain.
• Weakness and incoordination in your arms and legs (e.g. drop foot).
• Balance problems.
• Muscle atrophy (i.e. muscles decrease in size).

Other problems that commonly develop from a disc herniation in your lower back include...

• Groin Pain.
• Weakness in your bladder and/or bowels.
• Hip Pain and glute pain.
• Erectile dysfunction.

Symptoms of a disc herniation in your neck (i.e. cervical spine) include...

• Headaches.
• Dizziness.
• Balance problems.
• Tinnitus (i.e. ringing in your ears).

 Unfortunately, many people who suffer from disc herniations are often told that the pain will go away on its own in time if they just take it easy and then are given a prescription for pain medication.

There are problems with this line of thought!

...and if you are one who's already suffering with severe pain and have been dealing with it for far too long, you already know what the problem is with this logic!

Yes, the pain may go away... but it's misleading!  Remember, the jelly-like material that has leaked out can move.  That is to say, the jelly-like material can move enough away from the nerve so that you don't feel pain.  However, it can also move back again and press on the nerve again and bring back the pain at a ferocious level!  

So resting, taking medication and being on bed rest may help reduce the pain, BUT it's NOT rehabilitating your disc and it's only a matter of time until you experience the pain again.

So until you fix the disc herniation, you're back will always be a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off and all of the activities that you want to do will be based on "will this hurt my back?".  These activities will range from gardening, to lifting, to tying your shoe laces to picking up your child!

However,  your disc herniation CAN BE effectively rehabilitated... and faster than you thought possible.  

At the Toronto Spine Clinic we provide our patients with the most sophisticated Non-Surgical technology available to rehabilitate disc herniations in both the neck and lower back.  

Our Non-Surgical technology is specifically designed to treat not only disc herniations, but also degenerative disc disease, spinal arthritis and even failed back surgery syndrome and with very high success rate.

As you can see from our video, The Toronto Spine Clinic's treatment directly treats your disc herniation and rehabilitates it so such a high degree that we are not only able to remove your pain and symptoms, but we are also able to provide you with lasting results!

If you are presently suffering with severe neck and/or back pain, are taking daily doses of pain medication, have tried chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage and acupuncture and nothing has worked, you may be a candidate for our care.
