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.
