Ask the Osteopath
Your questions answered:After 20 years in practice and
over 50,000 treatmentsI have seen many interesting cases.
In practice many patients visit me with pins and needles, numbness, and pain due to nerve irritation in the neck, low back or elsewhere. Tracking down the problem is a little like the work of an electrician trying to detect faulty wiring. This case was a particularly good example of such detective work.What was the history?Mr X was a 49 year old carpenter who came to me with numbness and tingling in the whole of his left hand. This had started relatively rapidly four weeks earlier. He was otherwise fit and healthy but had done heavy work all his life. Any cardiac concerns had already been ruled out at the local hospital with an ECG and blood tests. This left me looking at a potential nerve problem. Significantly Mr X was left handed and had been using a manual screw driver excessively in the course of his work.What were the findings?Mr X showed no gross abnormalities on neurological examination with reflexes and muscle
power normal. However his neck was stiff and the muscles toward the front of his neck on the left side were extremely tight (due to overuse and “wear and tear”).What was the treatment and the outcome?On the first session, I loosened up his neck using hands-on manipulation and deep muscle massage. By the second session, the numbness had gone from his ring finger and little finger but remained in the others. Further inspection revealed severe tightness in the forearm muscles (due to the screwdriver work). Two further sessions working on the forearm cleared the remaining symptoms and he was able to return to work but encouraged to use an electric screwdriver! This was a particularly interesting case. Initially the symptoms appeared to be one single problem but were in fact caused by two separate nerve irritations: a C8 nerve root irritation in the neck due to a flare up of spondylosis and an irritation of the median nerve by overused muscles of the forearm (so called “pronator teres syndrome”).
Treatments cost £35 per session.For an appointment or informal chat ring on 01684 573989 or 07732 157772. No ache too trivial. No pain too severe.
