Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a nerve disorder causing numbness, burning, tingling, and weakness in the hand or arm. This condition arises when the median nerve, running through the wrist’s carpal tunnel, is compressed.
Recognizing Carpal Tunnel Symptoms
Symptoms can include:
- Numbness or Tingling: Pins-and-needles sensations, especially in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
- Weakness: Grip may weaken, leading to difficulty holding objects.
- Pain or Discomfort: Pain in the wrist or forearm, which may spread to the shoulder.
- Hand Stiffness: Reduced finger flexibility, making precise tasks challenging.
These symptoms gradually intensify, often during repetitive hand activities, impacting professionals in fields such as writing, carpentry, and assembly work.
Non-Invasive Carpal Tunnel Relief
While conventional treatments might rely on medication or surgery, chiropractic care offers a conservative approach, targeting the root cause of nerve compression. This approach promotes lasting relief without masking symptoms temporarily.
