What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

If you experience pain, tingling, or numbing in your hands, the culprit could be carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition occurs when the median nerve — traveling through the wrist — is compressed or pinched.

The condition occurs when the carpal tunnel narrows down, or the connective tissues around it swell, pinching the median nerve. The undue pressure on the median nerve causes pain, tingling, and numbness.

What Are the Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

As we know, carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the nerve in the carpal tunnel is compressed or irritated. Factors that put you at risk of carpal tunnel syndrome include:

Age: Older people, especially women, are at more risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Genetics: If a narrowed wrist is a common trait in your family, this anatomical disadvantage puts you at risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Repetitive hand use: If you use your hands and wrists often, this may exert pressure on the tendons, causing swelling that impinges the median nerve.

Pregnancy: Hormonal changes during pregnancy bring body changes that may trigger carpal tunnel syndrome.

Medical conditions: Diabetes and arthritis may bring imbalances in your body, triggering carpal tunnel syndrome.

Can a Chiropractor Help with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

While home remedies like resting your wrists, keeping hands warm, and exercising your wrists are great, sometimes you need the help of a chiropractor from our practice. Chiropractors focus on the neck and spine because restrictions in these areas can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Also, gentle manipulation of the wrist may relieve pressure on the nerves, reducing pain.
