WHAT IS CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME? IT’S NATURAL TREATMENT

Our muscles are made up of muscle fibers, connective tissue, lymphatic and blood vessels. Muscle is made up of 20% protein, 70% water/fluid, 1-8%fat, 1-2% glycogen . Muscles help in the body’s posture and movements like hold, grab, lift. The amount of protein and water decides the strength of muscle . Usually muscles with less fluid % and protein % get tired easily and get stiff and hard. Release of lactic acid can be the reason but that also depends on the same factors. Muscle tiredness or muscle wasting is the result of overuse of muscle and dryness of muscle. Carpal tunnel syndrome is one among the types of muscle fatigue, which usually is associated with pain and tiredness of muscle.

Carpal tunnel syndrome as the name suggests is related with carpal tunnel . Carpals and metacarpals are small angular bones present in the finger and wrist.

Carpal tunnel comprises nine tendons, median nerve, and flexor muscles FLEXORS(pollicis longus, digitorium superficialis, pollices digitorum profundus) which are surrounded by or pass through tendon sheath.The carpal tunnel syndrome is due to compression of median nerve, due to over usage or any external pressure injury etc.

Usually tingling is felt in the thumb, middle finger and index finger. Due to compression of the median nerve. And in a few patients this tingling sensation passes from wrist up to arm. Weakness is felt in hand while holding some object. Patients might have very loose grip and they may drop the object as well.

According to ayurveda carpal tunnel syndrome which is due to irritation and compression of the median nerve. In ayurveda nerve transmission is related with work of vata dosha. Increased vata dosha causes numbness and tingling. Vata gets localized in the wrist area specially near the carpal tunnel hence as a result causes numbness. It can be related to VISHWACHI in ayurveda.
