Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a group of symptoms including pain, numbness, and
parathesia in the distribution of the median nerve due to its compression at the
wrist in the carpal tunnel or due to compression of the median nerve roots in
the cervical spine.
The main symptom of CTS is intermittent numbness of the thumb, index, long and
radial half of the ring finger, but can include the all of the previously
mentioned symptoms. Numbness associated with CTS often occurs at night due to
sleeping position.
Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate nerve compression at the wrist in the
carpal tunnel or in the cervical spine. Adjustments realign the involved
vertebrae or carpal bones thus removing nerve pressure due to soft tissue
swelling. Wrist braces or splints can also be beneficial and will be prescribed
by your doctor if necessary.
