Regarding the “Compilation of Statistical Analysis” 43% of Americans are suffering from
hand pain.
There are different common conditions related to hand pain and here we want to point
to some of the most recurrent ones we help with:
90% of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CTS are related to neck issues, we see very often patients being misdiagnosed with CTS without reviewing the nerve roots coming from the neck, specifically nerves from cervical C5, C6, C7, C8.10 structures travel thru the Carpal Tunnel: 5 tendons of flexor digitorum profundus, 4 tendons of flexor digitorum superficialis muscles, 1 median nerve and 1 Flexor Pollicis Longus tendon.
When there is a CTS it happens for 2 reasons: collapse of the tunnel or increase in size of the content (the 10 structures) going through the tunnel.Most likely it happens due to the increase in size of structures going through the tunnel, this due to overuse, also pregnancy is very common, creating inflammation of any of the structures going thru the tunnel.
The classic presentation is numbness, tingling, paresthesia or described as a “Weird sensation” over the thumb, index, middle and half of the ring finger. We can help you with your CTS; we need to perform consultation and examination of your wrist to determine the right plan of care for you. Also, to determine if your case is a neck radiculopathy that reflects in your wrist it is important to have a full spine assessment.
Other common wrist pain conditions we have experience helping with:
