Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief in Blackman, Murfreesboro TN
Carpal tunnel syndrome develops when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist, often from repetitive hand motion, typing, or manual labor. Because that same nerve pathway can also be affected by nerve irritation higher up in the neck, a full-spine evaluation is often part of getting to the root cause.
Treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Blackman
Carpal tunnel syndrome develops when the median nerve, which runs through a narrow passage in the wrist, becomes compressed - usually from repetitive hand motion like typing, assembly work, or gripping tools. The numbness and tingling that follow can start subtly but tend to worsen without treatment. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years in Murfreesboro tracing carpal tunnel symptoms back to their true source, which sometimes starts higher up in the neck rather than the wrist alone.
Many of our patients from the Blackman community work in growing local trades and healthcare jobs that involve repetitive hand use, which shows up clearly in the carpal tunnel cases we treat.
