Carpal tunnel

---

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that causes numbness and tingling in one or both hands. Symptoms may also extend to the forearm. Symptoms usually appear gradually over a period of several weeks.

They are most prominent in the thumb area, but can also affect the whole hand, and sometimes both hands. There are many possible causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. To begin with, it's important to understand the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Initial treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome involves avoiding activities that trigger symptoms and wearing a wrist splint at night. It may also involve specialized range-of-motion exercises. In some cases, an injection of steroids into the affected area can relieve symptoms.

Although this procedure is not effective in preventing the condition from worsening, it can help patients avoid future episodes of pain and discomfort.

If these treatments are combined with osteopathic therapy, the condition of the carpal tunnel can improve considerably. When mobility exercises are carried out by a professional, you'll start to see a noticeable improvement within the first few weeks of treatment.
