✋ Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Expert chiropractic treatment in Richmond, KY — drug-free relief that addresses the root cause.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Understanding the Root Cause
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed at the wrist. While wrist factors contribute, the root cause often involves cervical spine compression or thoracic outlet syndrome that standard wrist treatments miss — explaining why many wrist surgeries fail to provide lasting relief.
Common Causes
- •Repetitive wrist and hand motions — typing, assembly work
- •Cervical disc herniation compressing median nerve origin
- •Wrist joint inflammation from arthritis
- •Pregnancy-related fluid retention
- •Diabetes and metabolic conditions
- •Thyroid dysfunction
- •Direct wrist trauma or fracture
