While people who work on computers make up a large percentage of those who experience CTS, the condition also commonly affects everyone from musicians, barbers and baristas to factory workers, carpenters and anyone else who uses their hands the same way for several hours a day. While many people suffering from end up seeking surgery, Dr. Carson says there are a number of non-invasive treatments and preventative actions that can eliminate the pain as well.
experience inflammation within the wrists that pinches the median nerve passing through a very narrow tunnel of bones and ligaments at the base of the hand. When the tendons or other tissues that share this tunnel are swollen, they compress the nerve, which causes pain, and numbness in the hand, wrist and fingers. "It can be very debilitating," explains Dr. Carson. "Think of all the things you do with your hands. When you have this kind of pain and weakness, it's hard to do anything. Unfortunately, a lot of people opt for surgery to fix the problem when there are much more effective, long-term and non-invasive chiropractic treatments to relieve the pain and regain hand strength."
Chiropractor Dr. Carson explains that when a patient comes in with wrist and hand pain, he does a full examination and interviews the patient to make sure they understand the source of the pain. In most cases, CTS is caused by repetitive stress and motion in the hand, but there are also a number of cases where the hand pain is also linked to other pinched nerves in the spine. In those cases, , headaches and may also be present. After the evaluation, he treats the patient either with a site-specific adjustment in the wrist to help alleviate pressure on the median nerve, or with spinal adjustments if the problem comes from a pinched nerve in the spine.
Dr. Carson also advises his CTS patients to take frequent breaks from their work and shows them how to do stretches and strengthening exercises that can help prevent further problems. In addition to this, he also counsels patients on more ergonomic, less injurious ways to accomplish their jobs, such as using the correct posture and hand positioning when working. "We have helped so many CTS sufferers fully recover and we just want to urge people to try a non-invasive approach before they try surgery for wrist pain. Not only can they recover, we can help them prevent problems in the future too."
