Introduction:
Numbness in the hands can be a disconcerting symptom that affects daily activities and overall quality of life.

By combining chiropractic adjustments, manual therapy, rehabilitative exercises, and massage techniques, Dr. Tanchak provides effective solutions for those suffering from hand numbness.
Understanding Numbness in the Hands
​
Numbness in the hands can stem from various causes, including compressed nerves in the neck or wrist, poor blood circulation, repetitive strain injuries, or underlying health conditions such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis. Identifying the root cause is essential in managing symptoms effectively.
Chiropractors like Dr. Tanchak employ a thorough assessment process to pinpoint the cause of numbness and create a tailored treatment plan.
How can we help?​
Chiropractic Adjustments
One of the primary methods used by Dr. Tanchak is spinal and joint chiropractic adjustments. These adjustments are designed to realign the spine and relieve pressure on nerves, particularly those that may be compressed in the cervical spine (neck region). By restoring proper alignment, patients often experience reduced pain and improved function in their hands.
​​
Manual Therapy
In addition to adjustments, Dr. Tanchak utilizes manual therapy techniques to alleviate muscle tension and improve mobility. This hands-on approach can help release tight muscles around the shoulders and neck, which may contribute to tingling or numbness in the hands. Techniques such as soft tissue mobilization also promote blood circulation, aiding in the healing process.
​​
Rehabilitative Exercises
Rehabilitative exercises play a crucial role in Dr. Tanchak's treatment plan. He customizes exercises that strengthen the muscles in the hands, wrists, and forearms while improving flexibility and coordination. These exercises not only help restore function but also prevent future occurrences of numbness by building resilience in the affected areas.
​​
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is another powerful tool in Dr. Tanchak's holistic approach. Therapeutic massage techniques can help reduce inflammation and tension in the muscles surrounding the nerve pathways. This treatment enhances blood flow and promotes relaxation, which can be beneficial for patients experiencing chronic numbness in their hands.​
​
Combined Approach:
Comprehensive Care: Integrating chiropractic adjustments, craniosacral therapy, and massage creates a comprehensive approach targeting multiple facets contributing to headaches.
Individualized Treatment: Tailored treatment plans consider the specific headache type, addressing both immediate symptoms and underlying factors.​
