Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is experienced as pain to the wrists. But is the problem in the wrists? The answer is: sometimes yes and sometimes no. Usually carpal tunnel is instigated by overuse of the wrists that create an inflamation to the sheath of ligament that covers the nerves of the wrist, called the carpal tunnel. However, this problem can also be caused by irritation to the nerves and nerve roots at any point from where they exit the spine, to the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. At any onf these points, the nerves can be irritated by joints that are shifted out of their normal pane of movement, muscles that are inflamed or too lax, inflamation itself, and even by arthritis. Chiropractic is extremely effective in helping people who suffer from this syndrome. Chiropractic adjustments can correct subluxated joints. Cold laser therapy can activate nerve potential. Relief is likely in most cases without having to resort to surgery. People who do opt for surgery do get relief, but I believe I have seen somewhere that the statistics are not favorable, that less than 50% of these surgeries are successful.
