Carpal Tunnel
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that causes pain, numbness and tingling in the hand and arm. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway on the palm side of the wrist. It is formed by bones and ligaments and is surrounded by a tough, flexible membrane called the flexor retinaculum. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when this passageway becomes narrowed or compressed. This can happen due to injury, arthritis, or repetitive hand and wrist motions. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common type of nerve compression syndrome. Symptoms include pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and arm. Carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated with non-surgical methods such as splinting, injections, or anti-inflammatory therapies. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that can cause pain and other symptoms in the hand and arm. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to help prevent long-term damage to the nerve.

“We don’t treat your symptoms, we build your health.” ~ Dr. David Martino D.C.
Causes
Anything that puts pressure on or irritates the median nerve in the carpal tunnel can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. For example, a wrist fracture can narrow the tunnel and irritate that nerve, and the swelling and inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis can do the same.
