Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) – Here Is Some Good Advise From Our Burlington Clinic Experts


Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or CTS, typically causes pain,burning, numbness & tingling in the wrists, hands & fingers.

It is important to understand that CTS has 2 origins.

One is from a pinched nerve in the lower part of the neck.

Because these nerves go right down to your finger tips, they will result in CTS symptoms when they are pinched.

Anyone who works with their hands or sits at a computer or desk for extended periods is very prone to getting pinched nerves in the neck.

Chiropractic care is very effective in relieving these pinched nerves.

The 2nd origin is if 1 or more of the small bones in your wrist is misaligned.

This will irritate the nerves in the carpal tunnel resulting in those uncomfortable symptoms.

Again, anyone who works with their hands or spends a lot of time on the computer will be prone to structural problems in the wrist.

What you can do at home is freeze solid a styrofoam cup full of water.

Peel about ¼” off the rim all the way around so this much ice is sticking out.

Place your sore wrist on a towel on a table, sit on a chair & with your other hand rub the ice on the top & bottom of your wrist – 5 min each side.

Or have someone do it for you.

Place the cup back in the freezer & you can keep using it this way.

This will help reduce the painful inflammation but it is always a good idea to have your wrist examined by a chiropractor for any structural issues.

I’ve been having some pain in my wrist and wasn’t sure what it was so I turned to the web for more info and came across your site.

I’m going to take your advise and start to do some icing to see if that gets rid of the swelling.

If the pain still persists, I’m going to be coming in for a treatment.
