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.
