    Got Wrist Pain? Live In San Francisco? Good Luck

    San Francisco Chiropractor and Wrist Pain Doctor Comments:

    Lbs00031 Having trouble finding a doctor to help you with wrist pain? Well...your not alone. There's just not a whole lot of choices...even in downtown San Francisco.

    And, if you do find a doctor that claims they can help you with your arm and hand pain...how are they going to do it...with wrist splints and Motrin? With surgery? With physical therapy?

    Hey...sometimes you need all of these things...but sometimes you don't.

    Will your hand and wrist pain doctor only examine your painful wrist...or will she check your entire upper extremity, including your shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers...on both sides?

    What about your neck? After all...the nerves that innervate and control your hands originate from the cervical spine. In fact, it's quite possible to have severe pain in your hand/s, and the main problem is a herniated disc in the neck...and get this...you have NO neck pain.

    I have been treating arm and hand pain at my Carpal Tunnel Injury Centers in the San Francisco Financial District for over 16 years. First is was Front Street Chiropractic...and now it's Executive Express Chiropractic at the Embarcadero Center.

    For about 12 years in a row, I gave at least 3-4 seminars per month at my carpal tunnel center...and most of the time we had a waiting list. In addition, I helped companies such as Pacific Gas & Electric, The San Francisco Unified School District, The Dept. Of Transportation, The United Postal Workers Union, Bain & Company, Boston Consulting, and  many, many more...educate their employees on safety in the workplace, ergonomics...and repetitive stress injury prevention.

    And during this journey I have successfully treated hundreds and hundreds of Bay Area patients with wrist and hand pain.

     

    I also taught doctors around the country how to diagnose and treat arm and hand pain. One thing I have learned over the years is...there are just not a whole lot of good choices out there for wrist pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other repetitive stress injuries. And the thing is...these problems are fairly common.

    I have seen nightmare scenarios, where a patient has wrist pain...goes to the doctor, and ends up in a time consuming loop of diagnostic tests, cortisone, missed work, and then surgery...that did not work...and should have never been done in the first place. In fact...the doctors never even checked the neck...CRAZY, but true...so be careful. I know it hurts...and nothing is worse than losing the use of your hands...but make sure you are seeing an expert...with lots of experience with wrist/hand pain...preferably without the use of drugs or surgery...you will be glad you did.

    If you would like to find out if you are a candidate for care at our Embarcadero Center Back and Wrist Pain Clinic...simply call 415-392-2225, and press #1. Ask for a complimentary consultation with Dr. Eben Davis.
