Carpal Tunnel in Toledo

When the median nerve is compressed due to swelling or bony misalignment in the wrist, symptoms may include burning, pain, tingling, or swelling extending from the first to the third fingers and thumb. Some patients report weakness in the affected hand or difficulty picking up small objects. A person may feel swelling even when no swelling is visible.

The clinic notes that the cause is not always clear. Some people recall an injury; occupations involving vibrating tools or repetitive hand and wrist use may contribute. It also mentions metabolic disorders involving the pituitary or thyroid. Symptoms may begin in the dominant hand, though both hands may be affected. The clinic notes that nerve irritation can sometimes stem from the spine as well as the wrist.

What are the best treatments available?

The clinic notes that treatment depends on the cause and recommends beginning with a non-invasive option when appropriate. It says a chiropractor may evaluate the condition and develop an individualized care plan. If symptoms persist after spinal care, wrist adjustments and therapies to surrounding tissues may be considered.
