Holistic Wellness Now will be presenting information on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and treatment of it. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) has become one of the most widespread

occupational health problems we face today. It affects millions of

people a year, and with our growing reliance on computers there seems

to be no end in sight.

The syndrome is caused by pressure on

the median nerve just above the wrist. Pressure on this nerve can be

caused by an injury or sustained use from common activities like

typing, chopping, hammering, or pushing. Symptoms of CTS range from

wrist pain, numbness, tingling, burning, weakness or loss of grip

strength, and loss of sleep due to discomfort.

There are a

number of different ways to treat this condition. In most cases, a

chiropractic adjustment to the affected area is an extremely effective

solution. In some cases, a misalignment in either the back or neck can

cause this condition, and chiropractic manipulation of the neck and/or

spine can also serve as an effective treatment option. These

treatments, along with physical therapy, stretching, and strengthening

exercises, can in most cases effectively alleviate and eventually

eliminate the symptoms associated with CTS.
