Do you experience numbness and tingling in your fingers? Does the pain wakes you up at night? Are you losing grip strength? You could have carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an injury due to overusage of the wrist, which causes compression of the median nerve at the wrist. It commonly affects office workers and manual workers who rely on motion at their upper limbs. Other factors such as pregnancy, obesity and previous traumas at the wrist can also increase the risk of CTS.
A person with CTS may experience:
• Numbness, tingling, burning sensation in their hand and wrist. Commonly affecting the thumb.
• Loss of grip strength and frequently dropping objects.
• Night pain.
• Wasting of muscles in the hand for long term CTS sufferers.
Chiropractic treatments have been well documented to manage carpal tunnel syndrome in a drug-free and effective manner. The initial phase of treatment would focus on restoring proper biomechanical function of the surrounding joints and musculatures. Treatments would usually involve joint manipulation/mobilisation, trigger point therapy, home stretches and kinesiotaping. The patients would then be gradually exposed to an exercise program aimed at strengthening the region involved.
