Carpal Tunnel

Understanding Carpal Tunnel: Learn about the causes, symptoms, and discomfort associated with this common condition affecting the hands.

Patient with wrist and hand pain from carpal tunnel syndrome

The Carpal Canal connects your hand to your forearm. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when one or more of the tendons in your Carpal Canal swell or degenerate, which causes the median nerve becoming trapped or squeezed, which leads to the pain and discomfort associated with Carpal Tunnel. Typical symptoms include aching, stiffness, and weakness in the hands, especially at night.

Common Signs of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
  • Weak grip strength or difficulty holding small objects
  • Pain that worsens at night or after repetitive wrist motion
  • A pins-and-needles sensation that radiates up toward the forearm

What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is often linked to repetitive hand and wrist motions, awkward wrist positioning, and prolonged pressure on the median nerve. Certain health factors, including pregnancy, diabetes, thyroid conditions, and rheumatoid arthritis, can also increase your risk by contributing to swelling within the carpal canal.

I have had neuropathy problems for the last two years. My primary physician referred me to Impact Health and Wellness. The Impact Crew started me on Laser Treatments. They have helped with my sleep and skin discoloration. They recommended compression socks and new shoe inserts. The crew at Impact have helped me immensely. Thank you Impact Health and Wellness.

I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Wilcox, Gerald and Caroline! I had a total knee replacement on 6/3 and am already getting around like a champ. Kind, professional and responsive! 10 stars!

This place is so amazing!!! Nick really knows what he is doing. His memory is crazy, he remembers details about every patient like a super computer. I came in with knee and back pain and he was able to identify exactly what was wrong, and things I had no idea about like having and extra long spine and and extra rib bones. We have a plan on how to fix this, and I already feel so much better after a few sessions. Can’t recommend enough!

Excellent staff, Excellent care!!! I have been seeing chiropractors for many years on and off, Dr. Nick is by far one of the best I have ever been too. After a few visits and getting to know the staff it's like a family atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Dr. Nick Southworth has provided exceptional medical care in addressing back issues including radicular pain, helping to increase range of motion and reduction of discomfort that affected quality of sleep. He is highly communicative and always upbeat in encouraging lifestyle changes to support the adjustment techniques he uses effectively to reduce pain. I recommend him unequivocally and also compliment Kim who is a blessing every time I enter the office. Efficient, personable and clearly cares about each patient!

I’ve been going to chiropractors on and off for years, so I understand how adjustments work. I felt the office was very nice, well organized and clean. Had top of the line equipment and treatment options. Everyone I came into contact with was friendly and helpful. Dr. Nick was very knowledgeable, efficient and truly cared about how I was feeling and how he could help. I noticed his interactions were the same across every patient he made contact with was treated the same. Very busy office, but well run practice and I never felt rushed or like a number. Based upon my visit and experience, I will be returning for more treatments and would recommend to family and friends! So glad I found this practice!
