Carpal Tunnel syndrome is a debilitating diagnosis that results in pain in the hands. Choosing the proper doctor is very important to treat this debilitating condition. Our Illinois Workers Compensation law firm has seen clients treated by chiropractors, orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, neurosurgeons and neurologists.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is pain, tingling, and other problems in your hand because of pressure on the median nerve in your wrist. The median nerve and several tendons travel 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).
Our Chicago repetitive trauma attorneys have rarely seen chiropractors or physical therapist cure carpal tunnel syndrome. We have seen them relieve the symptoms temporarily. Once the pain effects your quality of life often carpal tunnel surgery is the only option. Our experienced Chicago work injury lawyers have achieved tremendous success obtaining workers compensation benefits for those workers who have carpal tunnel symptoms do to an specific or repetitive trauma injury on the job. Our law firms can advise on which doctor are best for you to see with your carpal tunnel.
Report this injury to your employer and consult an attorney that concentrates in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome cases. You have workers compensation rights.
