How This Local Doctor is Treating Carpal Tunnel Without the Need for Surgery

Quincy, IL, February 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Did you know that according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is now the most common reported medical problem in the workplace? According to Dr. Jeff King of Quincy, Il director of King Clinic, "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome accounts for nearly 60% of work related injuries. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons estimate that Carpal Tunnel costs $27 billion annually in medical treatment and lost income."

Carpal Tunnel affects the nerve function of the hand. Common carpal tunnel symptoms include aching of the hands and wrists; hands that are numb and tingly; trouble holding objects; diminished hand strength. Carpal tunnel is most common among women between the ages of 40 to 60 but affects men and women of all ages and occupations.

Dr. King is having good success treating carpal tunnel without the need for surgery. "Chiropractic care offers exciting opportunities to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in a noninvasive way. A new study shows chiropractic to be equally effective to medical care, without the need for surgery" says Dr. King. “Surgery should be the last resort. In 80% of the cases where surgery has occurred, the symptoms have returned within two years.”

Dr. King offers new patients a complimentary office visit with a $10 donation to the Quincy Fire Department. Dr. Jeff King, D.C. is located at 707 N. 24 (the Pella windows building) in Quincy. Telephone: 217-641-0644. Website: www.fast-pain-relief.com
