Video Summary
Brett DeGoyer, a primary care sports medicine specialist, discusses managing carpal tunnel syndrome, often caused by repetitive wrist motions. The condition involves inflammation in the carpal tunnel affecting the median nerve, resulting in weakness, numbness, and tingling. Treatment focuses on manual techniques to widen the tunnel and relieve pressure. This includes stretching exercises, articulatory treatments involving wrist extension and flexor retinaculum stretching, and movements to loosen the carpal bones. These treatments are recommended weekly over 6-8 weeks, supplemented by patient-led stretching exercises at home for optimal relief.
