Massage and Carpel Tunnel Syndrome

Massage and Carpel Tunnel Syndrome

For anybody who's forearm muscles get really puffy or built up from the type of work you're doing, you could be on a road to carpel tunnel syndrome, just be careful! Massaging the forearms and stretching both arms in different directions and stretching the wrists all can help you prevent carpel tunnel and loosen up your forearm muscles.. Come see me if u have carpel tunnel diagnosed by your doctor or if your muscles are very tense. Or go find a therapist right now.. The inflamed muscles can squeeze or entrap the median nerve, which is what carpel tunnel is.. The narrow part of your forearm closer or proximal to your wrist is your tunnel, and the nerve or nerves become entrapped by tight muscle tissue.. Prevent from spending money on surgery because it may not be carpel tunnel syndrome, and you'll regret the scar tissue on your wrist.

Hold on! Read about what else could cause numbness or pain down your arm! 

Besides the forearm muscles being all tight, the tissues entrapping the median nerve at the wrist, or a bony structure may compress any of all the nerves, which are of the brachial plexus (group of nerves) being pinched. The brachial plexus stems from the neck to under the clavicle area. above the shoulder.. You could go get the neck, the shoulder and/or the pecs massaged out, and it may help relieve your symptoms.. The pectoralis minor or a scalene neck muscle, or both may squeeze on those brachial nerves or it could be an extra rib up around the clavical compressing on the nerves.. Go to an orthopedic doctor who can X-ray you or give you an MRI, or both, and can better help you. It's always good to get it checked out, rather than just go on muscle relaxers or pain pills.. You want to get at the root of your pain!
