Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Ancestral Therapeutics 

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome  is numbness, tingling, weakness, and other problems in your hand because of pressure on the median nerve in your wrist.

     The median nerve and several tendons run from your forearm to your hand through a small space in your wrist called the carpal tunnel. The median nerve controls movement and feeling in your thumb and first three fingers (not your little finger).

     Pressure on the median nerve causes carpal tunnel syndrome. This pressure can come from swelling or anything that makes the carpal tunnel smaller. Many things can cause this swelling, including:

• Illnesses such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and hypothyroidism
• Making the same hand movements over and over, especially if the wrist is bent down (your hands lower than your wrists), or making the same wrist movements over and over
• Pregnancy

A hand massage  is relaxing and provides you with immediate health benefits, such as:

•  reduces scar tissue and adhesions that cause decreased finger and wrist mobility
•  improves your hand's various ranges of motion and flexibility
•  improves circulation to your injured tissues
•  helps speed your healing following trauma by bringing more nutrients to the area of  injury

Swollen Feet

Swollen feet and ankle are a common occurrence for most people.  It does not represent a disease but rather the symptom of an underlying disease. Poor circulation equals leg swelling. The lymphatic system collects wastes from all around the body. When lymph circulation becomes poor/bad, excess fluids and waste, start to accumulate in the body. This accumulation of water and waste products causes unnecessary swelling in the legs. Causes of swollen feet and ankles are numerous and includes the following:

• Pregnancy
• Injuries
• Medications
• Congestive heart failure
• Alcoholism
• Liver failure
• Infections
• Being overweight
• Lymphedema
• Blood clots
• Prolong standing
• Airplane rides

Swelling symptoms are dependent on the underlying causes. Symptoms may range form a painless increase in foot and ankle size, textural changes, changes in skin color, warmth in skin temperature, and ulceration with pus drainage.

Depending on the cause of the swelling, treatment can be simple as a lymphatic foot massage. Massage works to improve circulation in the lymph system, effectively healing the swelling in your legs. Massaging the feet and ankles with firm pressure helps to move the excess fluid out to the affected area.

Neuropathy in the feet

Ancestral Therapeutics 



Neuropathy in the feet affects millions of people around the globe. This is nerve damage that occurs to the peripheral nervous system. When the peripheral nerves are damaged, there's a communication interruption between the brain, spinal cord and nerve endings. The brain is unable to relay to the sensory nerves that surfaces maybe hot, ground is uneven, or floor is cold.  

Causes of neuropathy in the feet include arthritis, certain medications such as chemotherapy drugs, advanced age, and alcoholism. The most common cause is diabetes. About 60 to 70 percent of people living with diabetes develop neuropathy.

Symptoms include:

• numbness 
• tingling 
• burning
• muscle weakness making it difficult and painful to walk.

It's safe without no side effects. It will help to increase blood flow, sending vitamins and nutrients to the damage areas.With regular foot massage sessions, nerve pain subsides.

Flat Feet

Flat feet  is a very common condition in which the foot does not have a normal arch, therefore  the entire foot touches the floor when you are standing.  Flat feet are normal in infants and toddlers because their arches have not yet developed. In most people, the arches develop throughout childhood, but some people never develop arches. Causes of flat feet include the following:

• It can  occur as normal arches “fall” over time. Years of walking, running and standing can weaken the posterior tibial tendon. Once the tendon is damaged, the arch loses support and can flatten, resulting in “fallen arches.”
• 
  
• Obesity and pregnancy put excessive stress on the arches and tendons and cause the arch to flatten.
• 
  
• Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritics and diabetes can also lead to fallen arches and flat feet.
• 
  
•  As a result of the aging process, flattening of the arch often occurs.

Most people have no symptoms associated with flat feet. However, some people experience foot pain, particularly in the arch or heel area. The pain often worsens with activity and swelling along the inside of the ankle can occur. Foot problems if allowed to continue, can cause additional problems in the knees, hips and back.

Fortunately, massage is an excellent treatment for flat feet. Massage increases circulation and loosens up the connective tissues.
