KST A to Z

Hand “dead”

Steve Wheeler, DC

Elizabethton, Tennessee

This patient works for a chiropractor in another city about 45 miles away but drives over to see us for KST when she has a problem. She refuses to be adjusted by anyone else.

She presented with tightness in the chest, bilateral arm pain, inability to sleep and paresthesias in her left hand and wrist while driving.

We adjusted her anterior cervical vertebrae, T1 & T2, hand, wrist, and picked up a sleep issue and adjusted it in her cranials. We asked her to change her sleep position and wear a wrist brace until she quit sleeping with her hand wrapped under her head. She said, "How did you know how I sleep? You're spooky". The next morning she posted: "Last night was the first night in about two months I didn't wake up with my hand 'dead'... thank you from the bottom of my heart."
