What Causes Pain From Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
The carpal tunnel refers to a small passageway in the wrist composed of bones and ligaments. This passageway houses the median nerve along with nine tendons. The median nerve is responsible for sending signals from your brain to the muscles in your hands and controlling sensation in some of your fingers.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when pressure is placed on the median nerve. This pressure can cause pain, tingling, or numbness as it affects the normal functioning of the muscles and tendons in the hand. If left untreated, these symptoms may worsen over time, leading to a decrease in hand dexterity and strength.
The main causes of carpal tunnel syndrome include:
- Repetitive motion injuries: Repeated motions, such as typing or using a mouse all day, can lead to inflammation, which puts pressure on the median nerve.
- Wrist injury: Injuries like broken bones or dislocations can cause swelling and inflammation in the carpal tunnel, increasing pressure on the median nerve.
- Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can cause swelling in the wrist, leading to carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Thyroid disorders: Swelling associated with thyroid conditions can add pressure to the median nerve.
- Obesity: Excess weight can contribute to increased pressure on the median nerve.
- Pregnancy: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause swelling in the wrist, which puts additional pressure on the nerve.
The NextPain Care Approach For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
At NextPain Care, we take a comprehensive approach to managing carpal tunnel syndrome. We offer a range of evidence-based treatments aimed at addressing symptoms and improving hand functionality.
Here are some of the key treatments we may recommend:
Mindfulness and Meditation for Chronic Pain
Mindfulness and meditation practices are incorporated into our treatment plans to help manage chronic pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. These techniques can aid in reducing pain perception and improving overall mental well-being by promoting relaxation and reducing stress.
Physical therapy is an essential component of our treatment strategy. It involves exercises and techniques designed to improve wrist flexibility, strengthen hand muscles, and reduce pressure on the median nerve. Our physical therapists tailor each program to the individual needs of the patient, promoting recovery and prevention of future issues.
Nerve blocks involve the injection of anesthetic near the affected median nerve to provide temporary pain relief. This procedure can help reduce inflammation and discomfort, allowing patients to engage more comfortably in other therapeutic activities.
Corticosteroid joint injections are used to reduce inflammation and swelling in the carpal tunnel. This treatment can help alleviate pressure on the median nerve, reducing pain and improving hand and wrist function. Steroid injections are often used alongside other therapies to enhance overall treatment outcomes.
