In this video, I'm demonstrating an easy massage that you can do anywhere.  There are several things going on here that will help:\n\n1. Stretching out and relaxing the neck muscles.\n2. Circulating your lymph to boost immunity. \n3. Opening up the nerve pathways so you breath and digest better.\n\nTuck your thumb behind your ear and gently pull down.  Angle your head away from the stretch.  ALWAYS be gentle.  This should be comfortable at all times\n\nFor more information and to keep in touch be sure to subscribe and visit us at:\n\nwww.wellbridgeclinic.com","thumbnailUrl":["https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/UVJcF6cgLEI\/default.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/UVJcF6cgLEI\/mqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/UVJcF6cgLEI\/hqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/UVJcF6cgLEI\/sddefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/UVJcF6cgLEI\/maxresdefault.jpg"],"uploadDate":"2019-01-10T21:43:47+00:00","duration":"PT2M4S","embedUrl":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UVJcF6cgLEI","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC1NssDgMnX-Szx52sc-J_fQ#Organization","url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC1NssDgMnX-Szx52sc-J_fQ","name":"The WellBridge Clinic","description":"","logo":{"url":"https:\/\/yt3.ggpht.com\/ytc\/AIdro_nEDOUsDPFdZGq5nzZwUTQRz2Dar0qNZRX34r4VOtNDvg=s800-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","width":800,"height":800,"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UVJcF6cgLEI#VideoObject_publisher_logo_ImageObject"}},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UVJcF6cgLEI#VideoObject_potentialAction","target":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UVJcF6cgLEI&t={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"},"interactionStatistic":[[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UVJcF6cgLEI#VideoObject_interactionStatistic_WatchAction","interactionType":{"@type":"WatchAction"},"userInteractionCount":403}],{"@type":"InteractionCounter","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UVJcF6cgLEI#VideoObject_interactionStatistic_LikeAction","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":17}]},"about":["Acupuncture","Car Accidents","Pain Relief"],"wordCount":451,"articleBody":"\t\t\t\t\t[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wellbridgeclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Carpal-Tunnel-Syndrome-and-Treatment-with-the-Wellbridge-Clinic-in-Portland-Oregon.jpg” alt=”Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Treatment with the Wellbridge Clinic in Portland Oregon” title_text=”Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Treatment with the Wellbridge Clinic in Portland Oregon” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” header_text_color=”#47484F” sticky_enabled=”0″]Carpal TunnelDear Friends,True story: every acupuncture patient I saw yesterday had carpal tunnel or some numbness, tingling, and pain in their hands. The Big Secret is that carpal tunnel is not a hand problem\u2026A whopping 99% of the time, it starts in the neck.Here are three of the main causes of carpal tunnel syndrome::Poor posture while at your phone and computerChronic neck tensionOld injuries like whiplashThink of it like a garden hose. If there\u2019s a kink in the hose, the garden doesn’t get watered. Healthy hands depend on nerve and blood circulation to nourish them, and the source is above the shoulder and from our neck.Another true story: my uncle is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hand surgery. He is the ‘go-to doctor’ for carpal tunnel surgery. We argued for years about carpal tunnel and how to fix it. Bless my uncle’s soul, the research shows that surgery has a 30%-40% success rate, which is great for a batting average in baseball but not health care.Surgery is the last resort. Think scalpels, scars, extended recovery time, expenses, failure to treat the primary cause, surgical success rate just barely better than placebo, pain medications, making things worse, and driving up insurance premiums for everyone.You might be asking, \u201cSo, what can I do?\u201dThese are seven steps to heal carpal tunnel syndrome.Stretch.
