Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
well·ness - the state of being in good health
The most common cause of wrist and hand pain is the ever-increasing prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which the median nerve is being compressed and its’ signals are being blocked. Symptoms include pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness. Just like in your spine, chiropractic helps to locate and correct any abnormal nerve pressure and restore functionality.
The primary source of CTS would be a collapse of the tunnel that your eight wrist bones make up. This places pressure on the median nerve which disturbs nerve flow. The most likely pressure point is under the capitate bone which is just proximal to the third metacarpal. When this bone is displaced anteriorly due to repetitive wrist extension, it tends to compress the median nerve. There is a commonly used chiropractic adjustment of the capitate wrist bone to restore proper alignment of the CT and relieve pressure on the median nerve.
Other areas in the body can also cause compression of the median nerve which mimics CTS. These include misalignment of the elbow and shoulder. However, the most commonly overseen “cause” of CTS symptoms arise from the lower cervical spine (neck). When the neck curvature and alignment are off, it causes compression of the cervical nerve roots which give rise to the median nerve in the brachial plexus. Keeping your neck properly aligned with chiropractic adjustments may improve CTS symptoms even without touching the actual CT.
Certain cases of CTS have so much degeneration and osseous changes to the bones in the wrist that surgical intervention may be required. If you are having CTS symptoms, inform your chiropractor so they may evaluate, adjust, and make any ergonomic recommendations to help improve the condition.
