Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
refers to a variety of symptoms, including
numbness, tingling and pain in the hand,
wrist and arm and associated weakness or
wasting away of hand muscles that are
supplied by the median nerve. Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome occurs when tendons in the wrist
become inflamed after being aggravated. A
tunnel of bones and ligaments in the wrist
narrows, pinching nerves that reach the
fingers and the muscle at the base of the
thumb.
Often, when there is a misalignment of one
or more of the spinal bones in the
neck, the brain is not able to send a
strong, steady nerve current to the arm
and hand. This imperfect nerve flow can
cause an inflammation or swelling of the
median nerve, which is then easily irritated
within the wrist by repetitive movement. The
result is the numbness, tingling, pain, and
weakness associated with Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome.
While there is little agreement in the
medical community about the causes of
Carpal Tunnel, there is building evidence
that chiropractic care can help.
Through gentle manipulation, chiropractic
can realign the spinal bones in the
neck, relieving the pressure on the nerves,
allowing strong nerve current to
flow from the brain.
