How Dr. Knapp looks at it
Nerves that serve the hands and feet start at the spine, and extremity symptoms sometimes have a spinal contribution the local treatment missed. Dr. Knapp examines both ends of the chain, the local joint and the spine that serves it, and adjusts where the findings actually point. For many patients, looking at both ends explains why the sore spot never settled on its own.
What to expect
An exam covering the painful joint and its nerve supply, targeted adjusting of both where indicated, and an honest referral when a case needs a different provider.
I had seen my doctor and had gone through physical therapy with little improvement. My hands were constantly going numb at night and while driving and riding my bike. After 6 months of numb hands I felt that I just had to live with this. ... He thought the problem was in my neck and adjusted me. Slowly I noticed my hands going numb less and less and I stopped waking up in the middle of the night. Now it almost never happens.
