What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome refers to a group of symptoms which occur when the median nerve becomes compressed. The median nerve, along with several tendons, runs the length of your forearm through a small opening called the carpal tunnel to your hand. The median nerve is responsible for controlling your thumb, pointer, middle, and ring fingers, but not the pinky finger. When the carpal tunnel becomes inflamed due to repetitive stress, injury, arthritis, or another reason, it exerts pressure on the median nerve, leading to the symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. These symptoms include numbness, pain, and/or tingling in your hand, wrist, forearm, and/or upper arm. Those affected might also experience stiffness in the wrist and fingers upon waking, pain which disturbs sleep, and difficulty gripping objects. 

Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

To diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, our chiropractor will discuss current symptoms with patients as well as perform a physical examination, looking for signs of inflammation. Dr. Cole might also ask patients about diabetes, pregnancy, lupus, hyperthyroidism, and lifestyle to determine any factors which might increase a patient's risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. 

If diagnosed, Dr. Cole works with each patient to adjust their lifestyles, activities, and workspaces to reduce the risk of irritating the condition. He will also provide a personalized treatment plan incorporating a combination of therapies and treatments including chiropractic adjustments, ultrasound therapy, and corrective exercise, designed to target and address any underlying health or musculoskeletal issues which could aggravate the carpal tunnel. Using a three-step wellness plan, our chiropractor first addresses pain management, helping patients find natural relief. He then addresses healing, and finally recovery and prevention of future incidents with an ongoing wellness plan.
