At Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville, our chiropractic team is committed to helping you achieve improved health and wellness. We diagnose, treat, and help manage any number of conditions and injuries through the use of holistic, drug-free, and non-invasive care. One of the many conditions we treat in our office is that of carpal tunnel syndrome, which is common among those who spend a lot of time working with their hands.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Causes and Symptoms

Specifically, carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects the median nerve, which runs through the hand and wrist. The nerve itself becomes compressed, which can result in a number of problematic symptoms, such as pain, tingling, and numbness in the hands, wrists, and arms. 

There are many potential causes of carpal tunnel syndrome, with repetitive movements of the hands being among the most common. For example, those who work at a computer and spend the majority of their days typing may be at an increased risk of developing this condition. Other risk factors for carpal tunnel include pregnancy and obesity.

Tips for Preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The good news is that, in many cases, carpal tunnel syndrome is actually preventable. This is especially true for those who work in office environments or other settings where they work with their hands and a lot of repetitive hand motions.

One of the best ways to protect yourself from developing carpal tunnel syndrome is to ensure that your hands and wrists are properly elevated and positioned, especially while typing at a desk. For some, wearing special wrist braces while working can also help to spread motion and pressure evenly across the hand instead of placing too much of it on the median nerve.

Taking frequent breaks is also a great way to give your hands some rest and avoid carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms.

How a Chiropractor Can Help

If you're experiencing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, our chiropractic team may be able to help. What many people don't realize is that misalignments and other imbalances of the body's spinal column can actually contribute to added pressure on the median nerve in one or both hands. Therefore, chiropractic treatments to help balance out the spine may be helpful in relieving your symptoms and preventing carpal tunnel from getting worse.

At Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville, we can perform manual spinal adjustments and manipulation to correct imbalances in the spine. This not only provides benefits to your overall health and wellness, but may also help to reduce your carpal tunnel symptoms in the process.
