Obtaining Help For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome From A Singapore Chiropractor

By Roxie Ocegueda


Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is also known as CTS is a condition that occurs on your wrist due to irritation or swelling. The median nerve is the nerve tasked with supplying feeling in the fingers and hands on the side of your palm. When swelling occurs in a wrist, it applies pressure on this nerve, which in turn causes CTS signaling that you should visit a Singapore Chiropractor.

Common CTS symptoms to look out for include; numbness in the fingers, tingling in your hands, a burning pain in the wrist and even weakness when trying to hold or grip something. Experiencing pain when trying to move your fingers on either hand is also a symptom.

It is a problem that is mainly brought about by performing repetitive actions using your hands and fingers each day. Repetitive actions include typing, driving and playing of instruments. Painting and writing can also cause it to occur.

Even though anyone can get this condition, it mainly affects women. Men are also at risk, especially if they do happen to suffer from a trauma. An injury to the risk will also increase the chances of one developing CTS.

In order to reduce the swelling, you could either opt to undergo surgery or schedule an appointment with a chiropractic doctor. You should not rush to have surgery performed as it can be very painful. It will also require a long period of time for the wrist to properly heal.

A chiropractor is able to evaluate your wrist in order to establish what could be causing the CTS. From his evaluation, he can now begin working on the main trigger points located in your muscles that could be applying pressure to the nerve. The chiropractic doctor will also help you perform stretches and exercises to ease the pressure and reduce the swelling by icing the area.
