How A Foxboro MA Chiropractor Assists Patients Who Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

By Mark Marabut


Are you bothered with an all-too-common nerve disorder called carpal tunnel? You should never self-proclaim any illness or pain issues. However, some definitive signs and symptoms point to the possibility that you may be dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, an upper extremity nerve compression disorder. If you have this disorder, a Foxboro MA chiropractor can assist you.

The disorder is occurs when the hands and wrists are moved repetitively. It can also occur when the hands or wrists are injured. It can affect one or both wrists and hands. If you are suffering from the carpal tunnel syndrome, you can feel tingling in your wrists and hands. You can also experience numbness that does not subside even when you change the position of your hands. You might also feel sharp, burning pain in the hand and fingers. The pain then radiates up the arm.

The median nerve runs from the forearm to the palm through the wrist. The carpal tunnel surrounds the median nerve and protects it. The tube has bones and ligaments that are located at the base of your hands. When there is constant pressure on the median nerve, pain, numbness and tingling develop.

The median nerve is responsible for controlling touch sensations to the palm, thumb, and fingers. The median nerve transfers impulses to the small hand muscles allowing allows mobility of your fingers and thumb. When you go to your primary care physician for these signs and symptoms, this doctor may refer you to an orthopedic professional for surgery or a brace.
