Pain in Your Wrist, Hand, or Fingers? It May Be Carpal Tunnel

Today's blog is focused on carpal tunnel syndrome, a very common issue for many patients who visit our chiropractor in Livonia. Carpal tunnel can develop when the median nerve -- the main nerve responsible for the hand and fingers -- becomes compressed or swollen.

Carpal tunnel happens most often in patients who have to make repetitive motions with their hands, wrists, or fingers on a regular basis. This can include jobs like factory assembly or any jobs that require a lot of time typing on a computer keyboard. While repetitive motions at work are the most common cause of carpal tunnel, some chronic conditions like arthritis may also cause carpal tunnel. 

The symptoms of carpal tunnel include shooting pain, tingling, or weakness in the wrists, hands, and fingers. Usually, the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers are involved while the pinky finger isn't. The pain can be quite serious and may even interfere with your ability to work or enjoy your usual activities.
