Non-surgical Carpal Tunnel Treatment
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome refers to:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or CTS, is a condition that affects many people around the world. It is characterized by tingling, numbness, electrical shock, or weakness in the wrists, hands, and fingers. These symptoms often occur while holding a steering wheel, phone or newspaper, or may even wake you from sleep. The cause of these symptoms can vary from direct compression of the wrist bones on the nerves to issues with the nerve root as it exits from the spinal bones.
The carpal tunnel is a narrow canal in your wrist that protects nerves, arteries, and veins. When the median nerve, which runs from your forearm to your hand through the carpal tunnel, becomes compressed or pinched, it can lead to CTS symptoms. The sensation may travel from your wrist up your arm. In severe cases, the muscles at the base of the thumb can waste away.
Many people "shake out" their hands to try to relieve their symptoms, but this is only a temporary solution. The abnormal feeling often becomes more frequent and more severe with time, making it important to seek proper treatment.
Dr. Sharikov has successfully treated carpal tunnel syndrome in countless patients. He takes a comprehensive approach to diagnose and treat the root cause of the condition, leaving no stone unturned. He will perform a thorough evaluation to determine the specific area of nerve impingement and provide a customized treatment plan to correct the issue.
