Carpal Tunnel Treatment at Jason Meyers Texas Clinics The carpal tunnel is a passageway that is located in the wrist

and acts as a connecting channel for the forearm and the palm. The carpal tunnel is also known as the carpal canal. The tunnel has one nerve running through it known as the median nerve and has nine flexor tendons. The nine flexor tendons include 4 flexor digitorum profundus, 4 flexor digitorum superficialis and 1 flexor pollicis longus. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a medical condition where any of the tendons degenerate or some wear and tear cause the passageway to get compressed. The entrapped carpal tunnel then leads to damage of the median nerve. Carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with pain which is predominantly in the form of numbness and stiffness. Other symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are paresthesia and swelling of the region and the palms in some cases. Carpal tunnel syndrome can be caused by several factors. One of the earliest observed causes of carpal tunnel syndrome was typing. It was noted that vigorous typing over a long period of time can stress the flexor tendons and the median nerve hence affecting the carpal tunnel. There are many other lifestyle factors that can cause carpal tunnel syndrome, the most common ones being physical injury, posture during sleep among others. Several diseases or stages of life can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. Some of these are rheumatoid arthritis, pregnancy fluid, hypothyroidism, diabetes, acromegaly, tumors for instance ganglion, obesity and also any previous fractures of the wrist among many others.
