Physical Therapy meets Chiropractic Treatment and Massage Therapy.
Dr. Roger Rahn and Angela Rahn, MPT, have combined their knowledge in Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, and Chiropractic Medicine to attack one of the most difficult and prevalent type of injury, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Unfortunately, most cases are often misdiagnosed cases of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, or are true cases of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome caused by Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. So, treating the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome alone only addresses the symptom and not the source of the problem.
Our Non-Surgical Neurovascular Decompression Technique (Protocol) for treating Carpal Tunnel /Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
consists of the following:
A thorough evaluation - for an accurate diagnosis.
Cryotherapy and/or E-stim - to reduce swelling.
Ultrasound - to increase the flexibility of tight tissues & reduce swelling by promoting intracellular circulation.
Deep Therapeutic Massage - to decrease muscle spasm & promote circulation.
Mobilization - of restricted joints and tight tissues; to decrease pain and muscle spasm.
Bracing - to prevent further injury and allow tissues to heal.
Rehabilitation - consisting of a stretching and strengthening exercise program.
Ergonomic training - to prevent further damage and reoccurrence.
Education - (last but NOT least) We teach you how YOU can help YOURSELF!
We have developed a10 page written Treatment Protocol for carpal tunnel presentations (including all types of arm pain). One page is the actual treatment guarantee. We look at different causes of carpal tunnel pain. This includes:
A compressed nerve root in the neck.
Muscle spasm in the front of the shoulder (which oftentimes does not hurt at all, but hinders blood flow from the arm to the body, thereby causing swelling in the hand).
Muscle spasm in the arm
Damage to the carpal tunnel (a fall can stretch the ligaments so the tunnel is not stable, and then certain activity can cause swelling).
Or order a copy for your health care provider so he/she can help treat you.

The results of this treatment are exceptional. There is no substitute for the full program under providers properly trained in these techniques. However, if a patient were to live out of our area and decided to travel to Dr. Rahn for treatment, a two-week period is usually sufficient to reverse the degenerative direction of the disease process. At least the patient would be fully aware of what a good treatment should include, and be fully versed in the home care aspects of this protocol.
You may want to see our free Symptom Survey to help figure out how much of the problem comes from the neck, shoulder, arm and hand.For a Limited Time (as per current advertising in Dynamic Chiropractic, Massage & Bodywork and PT Bulletin), we have provided Appendix J (from our book):
