It depends on the cause of the hand pain. If the hand pain is musculoskeletal in nature, a chiropractor may be able to help. Make sure you see a chiropractor who will take a detailed history and perform a thorough exam. This will help the chiropractor determine the cause of your pain and make appropriate recommendations for treatment.
It all depends on the cause of the pain, but we utilize techniques in our office that help us get amazing results with hand pain.
Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) are licensed doctors who does diagnosis and either preforms and/or recommends treatment. That includes all areas of the neuromuscular system. The question is what is causing the problem with the area and that requires diagnosis. Diagnosis can't be done without an examination. If the cause is appropriate and responsive to conservative care then Chiropractic care with it's many therapeutic treatments is important and appropriate. Even if the problem has a permanent and/or structural component the treatments may still help, but may not totally eliminate the underlying cause. Don't wait to have the examination, as the sooner the problems is detected and treated the better.
