Understanding Adhesion and its Connection to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Arthritis
Carpal Tunnel and Arthritis are two of the most common conditions that bring discomfort to our hands and wrist. However, what many people do not realize is that there is a common root cause behind these two conditions –adhesion. Learn more about adhesion and its impact on our bodies.
What is Adhesion?
Adhesion is the buildup of collagen fibers that occurs when tissues in our body are damaged.
This can happen due to various reasons such as injury, inflammation, surgery, or aging.
The collagen fibers start to stick together and form a dense, sticky tissue that restricts movement and causes pain.
Adhesion can cause pain in different joints, including the wrist and hands, leading to conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Arthritis.
What’s the connection between Adhesion and Carpal Tunnel?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by the compression of the median nerve in the wrist due to adhesions in tissues surrounding the wrist.
This compression can cause symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. (source: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke)
What’s the connection between Adhesion and Arthritis?
Arthritis is caused by the wearing down of cartilage in the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and stiffness.
Adhesions can also contribute to arthritis by restricting movement and causing further damage to the joints. (source: Arthritis Foundation)
Preventing Adhesion
Regular exercise can help prevent adhesion by keeping our tissues healthy and free from damage.
A healthy diet can also play a crucial role in preventing adhesion by providing our bodies with the necessary nutrients to maintain healthy tissues.
Avoiding injury and seeking treatment for any inflammation or injuries as soon as they occur can also help prevent adhesion.
The Bottom Line
Adhesion is the root cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Arthritis.
By understanding adhesion and taking steps to prevent it, yu can live a pain-free life and avoid the discomfort and limitations that come with these conditions.
Start your journey to pain-free living today by taking control of your health and preventing adhesion!
