Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
A number of factors can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome, including the anatomy of your wrist, certain underlying health problems, and patterns of hand use.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (also known as median nerve compression) is a condition in which the median nerve, which controls the functions of the fingers and hand, becomes compressed inside a 'tunnel' in the wrist. This can cause various symptoms including pain, numbness, tingling, or a 'funny feeling' in the fingers, hand, or wrist.

How Can Dr. Kane Help with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
The carpal tunnel is a small passage inside the wrist. The bottom and sides of the tunnel are formed by small bones. A ligament called the transverse carpal ligament arches over these bones, forming the roof of the tunnel. Passing through this tunnel are arteries, veins, tendons, and nerves. This includes the tendons that allow the fingers to bend, and the median nerve, which conducts impulses sent by the brain down the arms and to the fingers.
Pressure on the median nerve leads to symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Some factors that could lead to increased pressure include arthritis, wrist fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, and fluid retention.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a repetitive motion injury that responds well to conservative care. Dr. Kane can treat your carpal tunnel syndrome with chiropractic adjustments and/or acupuncture, both of which have been shown to be effective for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Because it is caused by repetitive stress such as poor ergonomics in the workplace or home, it is vital to address these issues to prevent recurrence. Specific stretches and exercises, recommendations for ergonomic changes, and nutritional supplements that affect nerve pain and blood flow are also important to aid healing.
