EXPERIENCING NUMB HANDS?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the most common initial diagnosis for numb or tingling hands. This condition often arises when one of the nerves supplying the hand is compromised, slowing or stopping nerve signals to and from the hand.

A diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome implies that a nerve is compressed as it travels through the carpal tunnel—a narrow passage on the palm side of the wrist. However, this name can be misleading, as nerve irritation, injury, or compression can occur not only at the carpal tunnel but also anywhere between the neck and fingertips.

UNDERSTANDING THE CAUSES OF HAND NUMBNESS

Hand numbness, including carpal tunnel syndrome, can be attributed to:

• Trauma: Such as sprains or muscle strains to the arm or whiplash injuries to the neck.

• Chronic Repetitive Strain: Activities like prolonged computer use can contribute to nerve issues.

• Other Rare Causes: Nerve or spinal cord compression (due to a vertebral disc bulge, tumor, or conditions like multiple sclerosis, diabetes, or cancer).

Factors contributing to hand numbness include:

• Inflammation

• Muscle spasms

• Soft tissue adhesions

• Joint irritation

• Poor workspace ergonomics

• Nerve irritation

• Muscle weakness

In many cases, previous treatments may have failed to address one or more of these factors, or they may not have focused on the exact point of nerve compression. This is common at our clinic, where we often see patients with unresolved numbness even after carpal tunnel release surgery. Our approach involves examining and treating the entire length of the nerve, from neck to fingertip.
