Systemic Inflammation is a Blind-Spot with CTS

As mentioned above most people suffering with CTS do not realize that one of the primary contributing factors to the onset of this syndrome is Systemic Inflammation.   Excess inflammation can get trapped in the Carpal Tunnel space restricting blood flow and  lymphatic fluid exchange and putting pressure on the Median Nerve causing the symptoms of CTS.  Because of the restriction in blood flow and lymphatic fluid exchange one’s body gets behind the inflammation curve.

More inflammation is produced each day faster than the body can clear it out.  So, getting this systemic inflammation under control often requires a two prong approach:

1 – speeding up the process of clearing out the trapped inflammation using the Carpal Solution Treatment Kit

2- Slowing down the production of new inflammation.

Together these combined approaches can accelerate ones recovery and help put CTS in remission even when “symptoms are persistent” or the syndrome is considered to be severe.

Is all Inflammation Bad?

The creation and and dispersion of inflammation is essential to normal body operation and the natural healing process.  However, sometimes inflammation balance gets thrown-off and inflammation can spin out of control and become Systemic Inflammation.  Raging inflammation from physiological conditions can wreak havoc on the immune system, on joints and accelerate the aging process.

What is Systemic Inflammation?

Systemic Inflammation results in too much inflammation being produced.   Excess inflammation can cause a lot of problems like making one more prone to the onset of CTS.   It also can accelerate the aging process as all chronic diseases that afflict humans are accelerated by chronic excess in inflammation.  When the immune system and inflammation production get out of balance, the body operates sub-optimally and many things can go haywire at the same time.  It is complicated.

Common Physiological Conditions, Diseases and Situations that Contribute to Chronic Systemic Inflammation and can complicate the recover from CTS.

• High Carbohydrate Diets Can Lead to Excess inflammation
• Diabetes Over Time May Cause Carpal Tunnel
• Obesity Can Contribute to The Cause of CTS
• Hypothyroidism Can Initiate the Onset of CTS
• Gum Disease and Periodontal Disease leads to Systemic Inflammation which will contribute to CTS.
• Renal Dysfunction is reported to Cause CTS
• Gout Can Contribute to Carpal Tunnel Symptoms
• Rheumatoid Arthritis Compels Carpal Tunnel
• Lyme Disease
• Hemodialysis Evokes Carpal Tunnel Symptoms
• Hormonal Imbalances Can Lead to Increased Inflammation
• Psychological Disorders cause anxiety which can lead to increased inflammation
• Onset of Menopause Can Initiate or Cause excess inflammation leading to CTS
• Anxiety from Stress Sometimes is a Contributing Factor
• Abnormal Growths like Ganglion Cysts often contribute to CTS.
• Hereditary Conditions
• Depression Can Effect Carpal Tunnel Condition
• Fibromyalgia Is Often a Contributing Inducement
• Acromegaly Is Reported to Be a Genesis for CTS
• Amyloidosis Is Known to Effect this Condition
• Polymyalgia Rheumatica Can Bring On CTS
• Polymyositis
• Sepsis
• Water Retention During Pregnancy is a Factor
• 25% of Pregnant women experience CTS for the first time
• Oral Contraceptive-related Edema May Have Effect
• Lupus Is Listed as Having Impact on the Syndrome
• Sjogren’s Syndrome May be a Contributing Factor
• Any Autoimmune Disorder Can Bring On CTS with Excess Inflammation
• Addison’s Disease Might Impact the Syndrome
• Tuberculosis Will Contribute to Carpal Tunnel

What can be done about Systemic Inflammation?

Some of these condition can be minimize effectively with the corrective action if taken soon enough before it becomes chronic or too far out of control.  For instance implementing a Low-Carbohydrate Diet can be helpful in minimizing or slowing down many of these conditions.   A High-Carbohydrate diet will accelerate systemic inflammation and complicate recovery from CTS for those individuals with Systemic Inflammation.

Also, controlling conditions such as Gum Disease, which is extremely common in populations globally can slow down systemic inflammation. If you have Gum Disease, most people can slow it down dramatically with regular dental cleanings, string flossing, water flossing, brushing with a Sonicare Tooth brush and using Smart Mouth (non-alcohol) mouth wash on a daily basis.

If you have any of the medical conditions listed above, you should work with a Medical Professional to identified the best path to manage it and slow down the progression of the disease.   If you have systemic inflammation you can prevent the onset of CTS using the Carpal Solution One Year Preventative Pac.  You simply put on the Carpal Solution Stretching devices at night before sleep anywhere between once a week and once a month to prevent the onset of CTS.  There is no reason to suffer, worry and give up your earning power.

Also, our Doctors have developed a sound protocol for minimizing and controlling systemic inflammation naturally.  When you order the Carpal Solution Treatment Kit, we send you the Doctors’ Recommendations for people with Persistent Carpal Tunnel Symptoms.

Patients with persistent symptoms of Carpal Tunnel often wonder why their symptoms are more persistent and take longer to respond to natural treatment.   The primary reason some patients respond more slowly and experience persistent symptoms is due to systemic inflammation.  Our Doctors provide proven techniques to minimize systemic inflammation.

Common symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:

•  Pain and weakness in the hand and wrist, radiating up the forearm.
•  Poor circulation, numbness, hands fall asleep regularly, loose sensation in fingers and grip strength.
•  Dropping objects, forearm pain, inhibits use of hands.
•  Symptoms increase at night when the hand is relaxed interrupting sleep.

These symptoms often lead to accidents and declines in quality at work if people are slow to pick up on the symptoms and proactively prevent the progression of the Syndrome.
