TREATMENT:
In classical treatment, splinting, use of anti-inflammatory drugs, and sometimes physical therapy are used.
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME MOST POSSIBLE TO SOLVE WITH COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE.
The most effective combination in my clinical observations is Neural Therapy & Manual Therapy and Magnetic Field therapy. If there is a local inflammation situation, ozone can also be used. However, ozone therapy is not in the primary options here.
When we look at it with a holistic approach, we see that there are many problems underlying CTS. The cause of the problem is very rarely locally known, in other words, it is local.
NEURALTHERAPY:
Local Treatment: Usually trigger point is detected in the flexor muscles of the forearm. After the injection to a trigger point in M. Pronaotor Teres, the patient’s complaints decrease. If the trigger point, which causes muscle tension, hypoxia and the formation of a tight and hard band over time, is not treated, tendinitis develops and affects the nutrition of the joint, other muscles and extremity in that area.
Trigger point therapy on the forearm will increase the perfusion of the hand. With the increase of perfusion, the feeding of the medan nerve will be improved. If the cause of narrowing in the carpal tunnel is not anatomical (fracture, etc.), neural therapy is a very good conservative option.
While these are being examined, the thoracic blockade, which I have brought to the literature, should be investigated and if found, it should be mobilized as a result of manual diagnosis.
Hormonal dysfunction, which is frequently encountered in women, should be investigated and eliminated.
Segmental therapy: Quadell is applied to include cervical 5-TH8 segments.
Ganglion Stellatum Application: In accordance with the technique, 3 cc, 1% procaine or lidocaine is applied to the pathological side ganglion stellatum.
Disturbing field regulation: The disturbance fields within the segment are detected and regulated. In upper extremity problems, the disrupting field effect of intraoral pathologies (amalgam fillings, metal coatings, tonsillectomy scar etc.) must be taken into account.
In cases where these remain unresolved, the entire axis organ, especially the neck, shoulder and forearm, should be examined with the Manual Therapy approach and the source of the problem should be determined.
Pulsative magnetic field therapy should be 10 and 27 Hz in case of pain, while it should be 1.2 and 72.5 Hz in case of inflammation.
If the patient’s physical condition makes us think of a latent acidosis, chelation should be applied by determining the condition of the intestinal flora, the type of breakdown products accumulated in the body and their ratio, with Proqunat, Reviqunat or Vegatest.
