(1888PressRelease) March 16, 2012 - Dr. Shirine Hegazi, is a Fairfax, Virginia chiropractor who uses chiropractic treatment and physical rehabilitation to help carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when pressure is exerted on the median nerve. This is the nerve in the wrist that gives feeling and movement to various parts of the hand. This syndrome can cause weakness, numbness and tingling. It can also result in muscle damage in the hand and fingers.

Dr. Hegazi said, "This is a very serious condition caused by repeated actions. Some activities that can cause this very painful problem include word processing, sewing, driving and writing. Also assembly line work, painting, the use of various types of tools and basically overall bad posture can lead to this condition. Finally, sports such as racquetball or handball and the playing of certain musical instruments can cause the syndrome." The doctor added, "We start by alleviating pain and stimulating healing with chiropractic care and then use physical rehab to strengthen the areas affected."

The condition is prevalent in those between 30 to 60 years old, and occurs more often in women than men. There are various medical problems that are associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. These include bone fractures and arthritis of the wrist. Symptoms include numbness or tingling in the thumb and next two or three fingers of one or both hands and also in the palm of the hand. There can be pain extending to the elbow, in the wrist or hand in one or both hands and fine finger movement can be affected. Some people have a hard time carrying bags due to a weakening of their grip.

"Carpal tunnel syndrome may be helped by drug therapy," said Dr. Hegazi, "but drugs do not offer a cure. By using chiropractic care at Concept Chiropractic and Rehab we are able to open the pathways that allow a real cure to occur. The process is gentle, natural and fast acting. Then," the doctor noted, "we add rehab therapy to ensure that patients not only fully recover but are no longer affected by the syndrome. Of course, we also work with patients to adjust the motion and behavior that is causing the problem."

Dr. Hegazi is able to treat a range of ailments and is an expert in working with auto accident victims who are dealing with whiplash and back problems as well as those who are suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. His dual care method of combing chiropractic and physical rehab offers results that are long lasting.
