Waking up with numb fingers or dropping things because your hand feels weak can be worrying. Palmercare Chiropractic Flower Mound offers conservative care for carpal tunnel symptoms, looking at the wrist, forearm, shoulder and neck with Dr. Madison Molitor.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through a narrow channel in the wrist. Repetitive hand motion, wrist position, swelling, pregnancy and certain health conditions can contribute.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke explains causes, diagnosis and treatment in its overview of carpal tunnel syndrome. Persistent numbness or weakness should be evaluated by a physician, since delayed treatment can lead to lasting nerve damage.
Carpal tunnel symptoms often include:
Dr. Molitor examines the wrist and the rest of the arm, shoulder and neck, because nerve irritation can occur at more than one level. If testing or medical care is needed, she will recommend it.
Hand symptoms can start in the neck, so read about pinched nerve care in Flower Mound. For general wrist strain, see wrist pain care.
