Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Relieving the pressure from pinched nerves is one of the primary goals of chiropractic. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is one of the most common workplace injuries, and at Vassa Chiropractic & Wellness in Holbrook, we provide people with safe, minimally invasive relief while getting their bodies in the optimal position to heal naturally.
The nerve that travels from our necks to our thumbs and first three fingers is called the median nerve. It stretches through the carpal tunnel, which is made up of the wrist bones and an inelastic band of connective tissue. Blockages in this canal or swelling on the outside of it constrict the median nerve. As a result, shocks, pain, tingling, and numbness may be felt throughout the arm, and control of the fingers and thumbs may be compromised.
Pain and other symptoms of a pinched nerve will not necessarily occur in the same location as the pinch. Dr. Vassa will want to conduct a thorough examination to determine whether the problem really is in the carpal tunnel. If it is, overuse is generally the cause. The patient may be assigned rest and therapeutic exercises. Electrical stimulation can also reduce swelling from overuse.
