Carpal Tunnel

Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome can be brought on by a number of different factors; however, the median nerve is the root of the problem and what really causes it. This nerve travels the full length of your arm, all the way from your hand to your spinal column. It is the largest nerve in your arm. This significant nerve travels through a region of the wrist known as the carpal tunnel, as you probably have guessed. Because of the interference, it provides for signals flowing along the median nerve, difficulties can arise in the wrist, hand, and fingers when the carpal tunnel grows. A variety of factors can contribute to this effect.

Manual Adjustments to Relieve Pain

Adjustments performed manually by a chiropractor focus on the underlying cause of your carpal tunnel discomfort in order to provide effective treatment that gets to the root of the problem. When you schedule an appointment for an adjustment at our clinic, a chiropractor will examine the entirety of your body and make use of a variety of specialized methods and procedures in order to identify the issues that are contributing to your carpal tunnel pain and offer a workable solution that will provide relief. Having problems with your upper spine, putting too much pressure on a nerve, having a misaligned wrist or elbow, or being under a lot of stress can all lead to this.

Encourages Proper Blood Flow

In chiropractic, the goal is to provide as little interference as possible for the nerves. Your blood will flow properly and your body will perform more effectively when there is less interference in your spine, hand, and arm. This will result in less problems with carpal tunnel and less pain and discomfort.

Removing Spinal Misalignments That May Be to Blame for The Swelling

It is common knowledge that the median nerve is linked to the spinal cord, and it is also common knowledge that the health of the spinal cord is directly related to the health of the spine. Therefore, even if there may be other factors that play a role in carpal tunnel syndrome, correcting spinal misalignments is the best way to help the body operate properly and minimize the severity of the condition caused by carpal tunnel syndrome.

Whole-Body Health

Carpal tunnel syndrome and other symptoms can be alleviated, as well as the severity of other problems, by working to improve the health of your entire body. Eliminating risk factors, including hypothyroidism, diabetes, and obesity, which are known to contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome, will help you experience less pain as a result of the condition in both the short- and long-term.
