Treatment Carpal Tunnel/Elbow Pain Relief
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome(Wrist pain) is a condition in which the median nerve is affected, a nerve travelling on the medial side of the arm, passing through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. It is derived from a network of nerves exiting the cervical spine at level C5 to T1 levels.
The causes of this syndrome can be complex, it affects more women than men, hormonal changes in pregnancy seemed to predispose women to carpal tunnel syndrome, but other risks factors are obesity, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, repetitive work requiring use of the hands and wrists.
Common symptoms are pain, pins and needles sensation, numbness in the hand , pain is worst at night.
Since the nerve origin is coming from the cervical area passing down to the arm and hand, some compression along the nerve pathway or even on the cervical area can occur that can predispose individuals to this condition in certain cases.
Osteopathy and Acupuncture treatments are effective for pain relief, relieving the condition by reducing inflammation, and relieving the median nerve by decompressing it along its pathway to enhance the healing process for recovery.
Elbow Pain

People that use heavy hand machinery, tools that require strong grip will predispose them to pain in the elbow or wrist. Golfers or Tennis players will develop Golfer's Elbow( Medial Epicondylitis), or Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis), as their motion is repetitive. Tendons and ligaments become inflamed(Tendonitis)..
In some cases, nerves can become trapped along their pathway in the upper arm , shoulder or neck, radiating pain to the elbow or wrist. Detailed assessment is needed to determine the areas where tendons, ligaments or nerves are affected..
