Carpal Tunnel

Did you know that carpal tunnel can sometimes be influenced by issues involving the nerve along its route from the neck to the wrist, rather than only at the wrist itself?

Muscles in the neck and shoulder region can contribute to tension along the travelling nerve when they are shortened or under tension. The limited area between the first rib and clavicle is also one area that may be considered when assessing wrist symptoms.

The neck, shoulder and elbow can therefore all be important areas to consider when assessing wrist concerns.

A whole-body approach

The neck and shoulder can also be influenced by issues elsewhere in the body. This is why total-body assessment and treatment is an important part of every osteopathic visit.
