Sound up ๐ for the wrist and hand ๐adjustments. People are often surprised when they find adjustments can help non-spine injuries/restrictions.โ โ โ

I've been lifting weights for 15 years. ๐๏ธโโ๏ธI've had quite a few wrist injuries on missed cleans and benching heavy weights. I never had a wrist adjustment until chiropractic school and I was amazed how much it helped my wrist mobility, function and pain! โ
โ
I used to need wrist wraps any time I bench pressed anything over 225 lbs as any loaded wrist extension (even the slightest) caused pain in my wrists. Now I can bench press pain free ๐. I have had many patients mention similar stories including no more pain in overhead pressing or the front rack position.โ
โ โ โ โ
Common wrist/hand injuries I have seen success with in my office; carpal tunnel, wrist pain, hand pain, DeQuervain's Tenosynovitis, wrist stiffness/immobility.๐จโโ๏ธโ โ โ โ
โ โ โ โ
Why would someone need a wrist adjustment? An old falling on an outstretched hand injury, wrist strain/sprain, years of front racking and olympic lifting, lack of wrist extension, pain when performing pushups (just to name a few๐).โ โ โ โ

There are 8 bones in the wrist. I most commonly see issues with the lunate, scaphoid and triquetrum in my office. In this video there is a scaphoid, trapezium and some MCP (metacarpophalangeal) joint adjustments performed.โ โ โ โ
โ โ โ โ
When the wrist lacks proper mobility (flexion, extension, ulnar deviation, radial deviation) compensations can occur up the chain (elbow/shoulder).โ โ โ โ
โ โ โ โ
As far as athletes, baseball/softball pitchers can especially benefit from proper wrist health/mobility, as well as olympic weightlifters/power lifters ๐๐ผโโ๏ธand linemen ๐in football (for blocking).โ โ โ โ

For the desk jockeys, make sure you are taking care of your wrists/hands while typing! ๐คโจ๏ธProper ergonomics and posture will go a long way!โ โ โ โ
