Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatments In Virginia, Maryland & Washington D.C.

Discomfort in the hands and wrists impact your lifestyle. It can start off minor, but when the discomfort persists, it inhibits you even further from doing basic actions. With persisting discomfort and pain, this requires a professional evaluation and expert care to reduce the pain. In many cases, individuals develop carpal tunnel syndrome and require assistance from appropriate professionals to accomplish personal goals and encourage the healing process.

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome refers to problems in the hand that stem from pressure or compression on the median nerve. The nerve runs through the forearm and to the hand through a small space in the wrist called the carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome is named after that area since the small space is what applies pressure on the nerve.

This pain and difficulty in hand usage due to carpal tunnel syndrome, and what kind of medical treatment to seek, is often concerning to patients. However no harsh measures are usually necessary to treat and manage the condition. At RxWellness Spine & Health, we assess the severity of your symptoms to provide you with the best chiropractic care and tools so you can find relief and gain functionality once again.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The symptoms of the condition depend on the severity of the pressure and compression on the nerve. Generally, individuals notice persistent numbness or tingling in the thumb and the first three fingers on the hand.

Other symptoms of the condition include:

• Dropping objects due to weakness in the hand
• Numbness and tingling that comes and goes
• Persistent numbness

In most cases, the carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms start with mild numbness and tingling that comes and goes with specific situations. For example, feeling a numbing sensation while holding a steering wheel on a vehicle or a phone are signs of carpal tunnel syndrome. Over time, the symptoms worsen and some individuals notice weakness in their hands that results in dropping objects.
