Treatment If left untreated, weakness in the hand may become severe and disabling. At Allied Medical & Rehabilitation, PC we offer an effective, painless alternative. Instead of surgically releasing the pressure on the involved nerve, we perform a series of treatments to painlessly stretch the wrist while using several procedures to reduce the swelling and tightness associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Once the pressure on the nerve is relieved, many patients experience significant relief quickly.           Typically, symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are:     · Pain and/or numbness in the fingers, hand or wrists · Pain may also radiate up into the forearm · Weakness and/or clumsiness in hand function

Causes     Genetic Predisposition Certain people are more likely than others to get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). The amount of natural lubrication of the flexor tendons varies from person to person. The less lubrication, the more likely one may get CTS. One study correlates the cross sectional shape of the wrist to CTS. Health and Lifestyle People who have diabetes, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis are more prone than others to develop CTS. People experiencing hormonal changes as related to pregnancy, menopause and use of birth control pills are more prone to CTS. Repetitive Motion One of the most common causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is repetitive motion. When the hand or fingers are flexed, the flexor tendons rub against the walls of the carpal tunnel. If time is allowed for the hand to recover, this rubbing is not likely to lead to irritation. The amount of recovery time needed varies from fractions of a second to minutes depending on numerous factors, including those mentioned above, as well as the intensity of the flexing, the weight of objects in your hand, and the extent to which the wrist is bent during flexing. Trauma A blow to the wrist or forearm can make the tendons swell and cause or encourage the onset of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).     We are conveniently located in Bellmore and Massapequa in Nassau County.     Click here for more information
