Carpal Tunnel

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

CTS is a problem of the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand. When there is excessive pressure in the wrist, it causes swelling of the median nerve. This small area, called the carpal tunnel, is a narrow tunnel at the wrist made up of bones, soft tissues, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. When the median nerve, which runs through this tunnel, gets compressed, it causes pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the hand and wrist, which radiates into the forearm. The carpal tunnel is the most common area that gets compressed in both hands and feet.

CTS should be diagnosed and treated early. During your consultation, you will receive a standard physical examination of the hands, arms, shoulders, and neck to help determine if your symptoms are related to daily activities or to an underlying disorder. Our highly skilled chiropractor will also utilize other orthopedic tests to try to produce the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Laboratory tests and X-rays can reveal diabetes, arthritis, fractures, and other common causes of wrist and hand pain.
