Are you experiencing weakness, pain, or numbness in your first three fingers, hands, or wrist? You may be experiencing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). The carpal tunnel is a small tunnel where a nerve passes through from your arms to your fingers. If the passing nerve get trapped or pinched somewhere, you might develop this syndrome. Not all the wrist pain is termed as CTS. It is important to judge, if the pressure on the median nerve is causing the symptom or there is some other problem.
The risk factor increases for the person who uses their wrist most often. People who are using small hand tools for manufacturing or those people who are continually using a keyboard at their work might be at risk of this syndrome. It has been observed that more than men, women are 2-5 times more likely to develop CTS. It occurs in people between the age group of 30-60. This syndrome is linked with different health conditions such as Lyme disease, rubella, pregnancy, obesity, etc. The doctor suggests that people who intakes high caffeine, tobacco, or alcohol can bear more risks.
CTS is commonly treated by chiropractors. The methods that most of the chiropractors use to treat include manipulation of the wrist, elbow, and upper spine, ultrasound therapy and wrist supports. With manual treatment, they align the misplaced bones. These methods help in improving pain and providing comfort.
