Obtaining Help For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome From A Singapore Chiropractor

By Roxie Ocegueda


Swelling on your wrist will apply pressure on the median nerve. This nerve is the one tasked with ensuring that it supplies feelings to hands and fingers on your palm side. Therefore, when there is swelling or irritation on the wrist, pressure is applied on this nerve necessitating the need to see a Singapore chiropractor.

Common CTS symptoms to look out for include; numbness in the fingers, tingling in your hands, a burning pain in the wrist and even weakness when trying to hold or grip something. Experiencing pain when trying to move your fingers on either hand is also a symptom.

This problem is very common in people whose jobs include performing repetitive movements using their hands and wrists. It is quite common in people who spend all their time typing on a computer keyboard. Apart from typing, it can also be caused by driving, playing an instrument, writing and painting.

Anyone is at risk of developing CTS. Women are however more at risk as compared to men. A person who has suffered from a trauma, or an injury that occurred in his wrist area will also have a higher risk of developing this condition.

In order to take care of this condition, you can either opt for surgery or see a chiropractic doctor. Surgery happens to be a very painful solution which is then accompanied by a very long recovery period. This should always be considered as the last option in cases where no other solution has worked.

A chiropractor is able to evaluate your wrist in order to establish what could be causing the CTS. From his evaluation, he can now begin working on the main trigger points located in your muscles that could be applying pressure to the nerve. The chiropractic doctor will also help you perform stretches and exercises to ease the pressure and reduce the swelling by icing the area.
