What is carpal tunnel? How do you know if you might have it? Steven Reid, MD of Southeastern Spine & Neurosurgery explains this very common malady."Carpal tunnel syndrome can affect anybody who uses their hands, and that means just about anybody! It occurs because one of the main nerves to the hand gets pinched as it passes through a tunnel in the wrist.
It takes years of clinical training and sophisticated equipment to make a definitive diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome, but you can get a pretty good idea of whether you might have it with a couple of simple self-tests."
The first of these -- the Reverse Phalen’s Maneuver -- you can perform in about two minutes at your desk or table. Simply put the fingertips of each hand together, flatten your forearms on the table or desk top, and press your palms flat against each other with your fingers pointing upward (like you might do while praying). Hold this position for 2 minutes. If this causes your fingers to feel numb and tingly, you could have carpal tunnel syndrome.
The second test is even quicker. Simply tap the wrist near your palm by flicking your thumbnail from your other hand against it-- like flipping a coin. Try this over several spots on your wrist. A sudden electric shock sensation indicates you could have carpal tunnel syndrome.
The good news is carpal tunnel syndrome is very easy to treat. If you have symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome you can call our Southeastern Spine & Neurosurgery office at (352) 332-7246 to schedule an appointment for further evaluation and treatment or request an appointment online.
