Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Barron’s Dictionary of Medial Terms defines Carpal tunnel syndrome as:
“…common
disorder of the wrist and hand caused by compression of the median nerve in the
wrist area and manifested by pain, tingling, burning, and muscular weakness,
sometimes spreading to the arm and shoulders. It is more common in women,
especially during pregnancy and menopause, but may also occur in both sexes as
a result of trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus or other
disorders.” (page 102-103)
The
conventional treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome is using a splint, rest or
surgery.
In our
findings, carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by the
compression of the supraclavicular nerve, which is
found on the top of the shoulder blade.
This helps to explain why it is more common in women than in men. Women wear bras and the shoulder strap of the
bra presses down on the supraclavicular nerve. To eliminate the problem one must release the
pressure on the supraclavicular nerve. Other causes of the condition are carrying
objects over the shoulder and holding the steering wheel during auto accidents.
We found that
carpal tunnel syndrome pain caused from wearing a bra is the fastest to treat
and eliminate, unless there has been a prior hand injury. In the case of an individual holding the
steering wheel during the impact of an auto accident, treatment can take 100’s
of hours. In all cases of Carpal tunnel
syndrome, pain can be eliminated as well as the
numbness and tingling of the fingers.
