WHAT IS CARPAL TUNNEL?
The carpal tunnel is the arch of bones in your wrist that support function of the hand and protect the nerves and arteries that travel to it.
SYMPTOMS OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Impingement of nerves in the carpal tunnel can cause pain, tingling, and numbness in the wrist and hand.
CAUSES OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Causes include overuse of the wrists in a specific activity, such as typing and mouse use at the computer. Carpal tunnel symptoms can also present in a healthy wrist, as the nerve root can be impinged in the neck before it travels down its path to the hand causing similar symptoms.
TREATMENT FOR CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome is very effective with chiropractic adjustments. By adjusting the joints of the carpal tunnel, scar tissue developed from overuse can be remodeled and pressure can be relieved from the nerves. A chiropractor can also determine if the problem is indeed caused by the wrist or by the neck instead.
