Apopka, FL, 22-JULY-2013 – Altamonte Health and Wellness and Dr. Kenneth Ross, Apopka Fl chiropractor, are pleased to announce solutions for the condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. This small channel in the wrist carries the nerves to the outside fingers and the thumb. It is a bony structure so there is little room for swelling that comes with irritation of the nerves and connective tissue. Pressure on the nerves is interpreted by the brain as pain.
According to Dr. Kenneth Ross, Apopka FL chiropractor, "The swelling of the tissues interferes with nerve signals and with movement of the fingers and thumb. People who are experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome may have problems with weakness as well as pain. The pain can interfere with sleep, so there are often fatigue issues and increasing irritability due to loss of sleep."
"The carpal tunnel symptoms arise when there are repetitive motions and activities in work environments or recreational environments. Those individuals who do a lot of keyboard work are often subject to CTS. Other causative factors include obesity, lupus, hypothyroidism, diabetes, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis. When the fluid builds up in the carpal tunnel, known as edema, it can put increased pressure on the nerves. Pregnancy may cause this fluid buildup."
Techniques for resolution of CTS usually are focused on reducing the pressure on the nerves. Circulation can be increased which in turn reduces pressure. Some of the specific techniques include cold laser therapy and gentle massage. When the circulation is improved, nutrients are brought into the area and toxins are carried away.
In addition to mild therapy that is non-invasive, the solutions for CTS can include matters of proper posture and work actions. Better nutrition helps with giving the body the tools to improve health. Certain types of exercises will strengthen muscles and connective tissue, thus avoiding irritation of the carpal tunnel.
