Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Whenever You Sense Absolutely Nothing In Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the individual observes significant numbness. This is
caused by the compression of the nerve that goes through the carpal tunnel in the
wrist called the median nerve.
The carpal tunnel is similar to a hallway and along with the median nerve, nine
tendons, known as the "Flexor Tendons" traverse in it. In cases of extreme activities,
any or some of the nine tendons gets swollen and swells, it then takes up a bigger
space within the carpal tunnel, causing the median nerve to get squeezed or
constricted. The initial feeling can be wrist pain because of the swelling of the flexor
tendons (this is why Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is likewise called "Wrist Tendonitis").
Following after the pain is severe numb feeling of the hand; this happens because
feelings felt by the hand are usually blocked as it goes through the median nerve,
they don't reach the brain, thus, the numb feeling.
Carpal Tunnel Treatment method, when it comes to an early analysis, is as simple as
resting and veering away from stressful or strenuous activities, which will cause the
condition to be aggravated. Often, the doctor may advice that a splint or a support
be put on in the wrist to prevent unnecessary movements. Other Carpal Tunnel
therapies available are anti-‐inflammatory drugs such as Cortisone substances to
help relieve the discomfort and reduce swelling, physical therapy or occupational
therapy. For more severe scenarios of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, surgeries are
carried out.
Recent scientific discoveries have pushed Light Therapy, using LED or Light
Emitting Diodes in the spotlight of Carpal Tunnel treatment along with the
treatment of other forms of tendonitis. This technology takes advantage of the
healing capabilities of red and infrared lights when focused toward problematic
areas of the body.
