Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief In South Tulsa

WRIST PAIN IN TULSA?

​

One of the most common sources of pain and disability in the US is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The pain, swelling, burning and tingling in the hands, fingers, and wrists affect millions of Americans today.

​

WHAT IS CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME?

​

There is much misunderstanding about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The carpal tunnel is an opening in the wrist that allows the median nerve to pass from the hand up the arm. When the tissues around this tunnel are irritated and begin to swell, they put pressure on the median nerve, causing burning, pain, tingling, and swelling of the wrist and hand, extending to the tips of the fingers.

 

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can progress to the point of complete disability if not treated properly. However, CTS is not a permanent condition and if treated early and conservatively, can be relieved and even reversed.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYMPTOMS

​

A little wrist pain is to be expected from any extensive use of the hands and fingers, even a long bout of video games. Dr. Travis will start to suspect nerve compression instead when you report symptoms like:

 

  • Burning and tingling in the hand and fingers

  • Numbness that starts in the thumb or index finger

  • Sensations of swelling with no visual confirmation

  • Pins and needles

  • Sharp pains that radiate up the arm

  • Stiff fingers upon waking

​

CARPAL TUNNEL RISKS

​

Allowing your carpal tunnel syndrome to worsen with weeks or months of continued use could lead to a more serious set of symptoms. Progressing CTS can even cause you to lose your job if you depend on fine motor movements of the hands and fingers. Look out for serious risks that include:

​

  • Complete numbness of the fingers or hand, leading to minor paralysis

  • Loss of grip in the affected hand

  • Pain that interrupts your sleep

  • Weakness that makes it hard to even use the hand for basic tasks

  • Atrophy of the hand and forearm muscles

​

​

For years, people who suffered from Carpal Tunnel in Tulsa had to resort to surgery, painful physical therapy, and prescription drugs. However, if you call us as soon as your symptoms develop, you have an excellent chance to reverse the damage and find relief without medication or surgery.
