Please contact the clinic if you have questions about a particular problem. CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (CTS) Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is undoubtedly an epidemic in the united states. It is now a chronic and debilitating issue in the workplace, affecting those who perform repetitive tasks with improper rest or breaks. Common causes include computer entry, manufacturing line workers, cashiers and pulling weeds while in the garden for many hours. With an increase of computer use, the problem is affecting a greater percentage of the population. The signs of CTS include tingling, numbness, weakness and pain in the wrist and hands. The main cause is pressure to the median nerve as it passes beneath the wrist. The pain can obstruct sleep, work and daily routine. The purpose of treatment is to rehabilitate the wrist and help you stay working at your job. Treatment involves specific joint manipulation, physiotherapy, exercises and possible braces. It is possible to feel better quickly without drugs or surgery.
