Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that causes tingling, numbness and pain in the palm of hand due a major nerve in hand the median nerve which gets squeezed/compressed as it travels through the wrist.
Carpal tunnel is a small passage in the wrist formed by small wrist bones and connective tissues. Through this the tendons and the nerves pass to supply the hand. The nerves are elastic but the tunnel is a rigid structure which over time gets narrowed in few people and leads to compression of the median nerve.
What causes carpal tunnel syndrome?
Women and older people are the ones who suffer more
Heredity: some people have smaller carpal tunnel diameter leading to predisposition for this condition
Repetitive hand movements: usually seen in IT sector certain sports and house wife, a certain set of repetitive hand movements may cause the tendons to synovium to be irritated causing swelling and narrowing of the canal
Hand and wrist position: any activity involving extreme flexion and extension of the hand and wrist can increase pressure on the nerves.
Pregnancy: hormonal changes in pregnancy causes swelling and leads to carpal tunnel syndrome
Other factors: rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, hypothyroidism are all linked to develop carpal tunnel syndrome.
What are the symptoms?
Tingling sensations in the middle and the index fingers.
Pain along the same area which may radiate up to the forearm which may increase during the sleep.
Weakness and clumsiness in the hand which makes regular activities like holding a pen or buttoning a shirt difficult.
How diagnosis is made?
The diagnosis is done through detailed clinical history, various clinical examinations and few investigations like electrophysiological studies of the nerve and MRI. A real time dynamic ultrasound gives valuable information about the diameter of the nerve, any collection of fluid around the nerve or in the canal.
How Carpal tunnel syndrome is treated?
Non-surgical treatment includes physiotherapy, use of pain killers, changing your routine activities, specialized exercises called nerve gliding exercises for carpal tunnel treatment, as nerve is an elastic structure so these exercises do help.
At Axis Clinics we take a more preservative approach wherein we do a targeted release of the nerve through hydro-dissection under ultrasound guidance with deposition of your own blood product called super concentrated PRP. The plasma lysate breaks up any scar tissues and helps in regeneration of the nerves and avoids complications associated with surgery.
Regenerative Medicine is a science of nature where we are focused on ‘healing’ rather than symptomatic treatment or surgeries. We Give our body proper care,time, environment and training to achieve results beyond imagination.
With Us you will find one of a kind Lab platform which is certified and highly rated. Our lab is not only certified from regulatory authorities for various activities but also for various research work in the field of Stem cells.
One of a kind centre which ensures ‘nothing goes blind’ and should be a pleasant experience for our already suffering patients. We make sure to use tech. Like Ultrasound or Video X-ray for examination and during treatment in all our patients to ensure best delivery of medicines.
We at our clinic work on the principle of accurate diagnosis, precise delivery of medicine at site and utmost safety. Being highly equipped and trained in respective fields we always find the root cause of your disease / injury and treat them in a holistic way.Also as stated our entire treatment is based on regenerative medicine in which we use your own body fluids (Plasma therapy, platelet plasma and marrow )to treat you which has no side effect and results last longer than any artificial modes of treatment like steroids or pain killers.
One of the hidden and niche parts of regenerative medicine having a vast and proven role in pathologies associated with nerve root irritation and handling tough inflammation of joints and membranes as adjuvant. A complete acellular, growth factors packed therapy is all you required.
Peripheral nerves (nerves of shoulder, arm,leg) which are not deep enough in the body have very high tendencies to get trapped under surrounding structures like muscle,bone or ligaments. Oftenly patients require painful surgery to get rid but with this tech. We can successfully avoid these surgeries
One of the most powerful, studied and practised domains of regenerative medicine. Here everything matters from harvesting, processing and administrating in time bound protocols.it's a day long process of processing and we bring to you the best technologies imparted to us from Europe and the United States.
Future of art of natural healing lies in appropriate usage of stem cells. In many countries including India allows its limited usage and widely for research and educational purposes.we have seen a huge potential of them in our personal experience in various healing processes
Platelets are fragments of a very big cell,which are heavily packed with numerous growth factors and are the first line soldiers when injuries happen. With help of sophisticated protocols we are able to harvest best quality concentrated (8-10 times) platelets with plasma to initiate healing and protect damaged muscle,tendons and cartilages of joints.
Few solutions are designed to handle toughest problems,SCP- plasma therapy is meant for one of the advanced, Old and degenerated joint pains with extensive problems. It is much refined and concentrated (20-30 times ) then platelet plasma therapy. With a multi million lab platform now it is possible to deliver this technology to our fellow countrymen.
Biological glues are formed with the help of the natural coagulation mechanism of blood but in a controlled manner. These are excellent sealant for tears in muscles due to overuse stress related injuries or due to impact sports. This provides very early mobilization resumption of activities as compared to most of the conventional modes of treatments.
