In a day where so many job require one to spend hours performing repetitive motions or spending long periods using a computer keyboard, work place related health concerns are rising. Issues like back aches, bad posture, sciatica and neck stiffness are frequent complaints. Crofton chiropractor offices have tools to deal such problems as well as carpal tunnel syndrome.

People with CTS experience pain, numbing and weakness in various parts of their hand. It gets its name from the group of carpal bones that form a tunnel in the wrist, housing the main nerve for the appendage. The tendons which control the fingers are also held within the structure.

Some of main causes of this issue are nerve compression, trauma, and repetitive movements that instigate swelling around the carpal tendons. It has also been linked to other conditions such as hypothyroidism, diabetes, obesity, connective tissue disease, as well as pregnancy and menopause. Frequent keyboard use, repetitious hand motions, and high intake of caffeine, tobacco and alcohol can increase one's chances of developing this syndrome.

A sensation of swelling when none is evident, weakness of the palm, thumb and first two fingers, and a decreased ability to squeeze or grasp objects are all common symptoms. Proper sleep may be difficult due to increased pain intensity at night. The techniques used in chiropractic care are intended to address the issue's root cause.

The long the pressure remains on the nerve, the higher one's risk of suffering permanent damage to their hand becomes. The root of the issue may lay at various points along the arm such as the wrist, elbow, shoulder or neck. The doctor conduct a diagnostic examination to determine the best course of action for the individual.

Chiropractic methods are completely safe and help one's body heal itself naturally. Most patients who receive this type of care experience a significant increase in range of motion, hand strength, sensation and nerve function, while getting a reduction in pain. No drug therapies or surgeries are needed for relief.
