What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when there is pressure on the median nerve. This nerve runs through the forearm and into the hand. The median nerve is located inside the passage way of the carpal tunnel. When the carpal tunnel is compressed, it places pressure on the median nerve, causing pain, numbness, weakness, or tingling sensations on the palm side of the hand. Apart from wrist pain, carpal tunnel syndrome can also cause pain in the arm.

Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The most common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is repetitive motion of the hands. Poor work ergonomics can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, as many people tend to spend long hours using the computer and typing on a keyboard for their work. Any repetitive movements with wrists can cause carpal tunnel. As a first step, you should try to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome by having proper work ergonomics and posture for the wrist, fingers, and arm. This includes having a forearm rest by your keyboard and practicing propter posture.

How Our Chiropractor Can Help

Our chiropractor will diagnose carpal tunnel or wrist pain through a physical exam. After a diagnosis, we can create a treatment plan that is unique to you. Our chiropractor can use adjustments to ensure that the body is aligned properly. We also offer laser therapy and electrotherapy can also relieve pain in the soft tissues of the wrist. Our chiropractor might suggest physical therapy as well. Special exercises will improve your range of motion in your wrist and arm.

We will also recommend measures to take at home to avoid recurring wrist pain. You may need a wrist support to align and reduce pressure and compression on the wrist.
