Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common problems related to pinched nerves. But although this condition is chronic, it can be treated with safe, non-invasive means at Kosak Chiropractic in Fairfield. In this blog post, we’ll explore how the carpal tunnel works and why holistic treatments are effective.
The median nerve emerges from the cervical spine (the neck) and travels through the shoulder and into the hand. It provides sensation and control to every finger except the pinky. In the wrist, it passes through a canal made of bones and ligaments called the carpal tunnel. When the carpal tunnel is compressed, pressure on the median nerve can cause shooting pains, tingling, and numbness between the neck and the fingers.
Inflammation in the tissues surrounding the carpal tunnel can have several causes, but it usually is due to overuse. CTS is most common in people with office jobs, handymen, and tennis players. We can use electric muscle stimulation to relieve pain and inflammation along the upper limbs. Other treatments include therapeutic exercise and massages to release muscles in the arm and hand. We’ll also ensure that there are no blockages at the median nerve’s point of emergence from the spine or in the shoulder.
