Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Doctor Jimenez Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Chiropractic Pain Relief Team. This is a condition involving numerous symptoms affecting the hands and wrists. This painful condition is caused when the median nerve, found within the wrist’s carpal tunnel and other tendons inside the hand, becomes compressed.

Trauma from an accident to the hand or wrist and/or overuse from repetitive activities, such as constant typing on a keyboard, are common reasons carpal tunnel syndrome develops. The added pressure begins to irritate and compress the median nerve, leading to impairing pain symptoms, among others. The most common symptoms include pain, numbness, a tingling sensation, and weakness on the hands, wrists, and forearms. Pain and numbness in these areas are usually intense.

The discomfort from these symptoms can affect an individual’s everyday lifestyle. Gripping objects may become difficult as carpal tunnel syndrome progresses over time due to loss of muscle strength. The tingling sensations radiating from the hand are often described as a feeling of pins and needles through the hands, wrists, and forearms.
