What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Greenville SC?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel. The median nerve provides sensory and motor functions to the thumb and 3 middle fingers. The carpal tunnel is an opening in your wrist that is formed by the carpal bones on the bottom of the wrist and the transverse carpal ligament across the top of the wrist. If it gets compressed or irritated, you may have symptoms.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a progressive condition that can get worse without proper care. Common causes include repetitive motion activities like typing, or using the mouse, sewing, repetitive lifting, or various racquet sports. These motions can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the wrist area. Please feel free to contact our Greenville SC chiropractic clinic today to learn more.

Plasma Treatment In Greenville SC

Plasma is a highly concentrated serum of healing platelets, found in your blood naturally. During a simple procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn and placed into a special machine called a centrifuge. The blood is then spun at high speed, this process separates the blood and separates the blood platelets.

The blood platelets or plasma is then extracted and injected back into the affected area. These platelets and healing cells have the ability to heal and restore affected tissues, including the nerves, tendons and ligaments. Platelets are a part of your body’s healing mechanism, and a high dose will help your body heal faster.

With this procedure there is minimal down time and less side effects compared to steroid injections or surgery.
