Double Crush Syndrome

Double Crush Syndrome is, as the name suggests, and injury to two separate areas on a single nerve. As with any nerve injury, time and treatment are essential. The typical patient experiencing a double crush injury complains of progressive numbness and tingling. It is believed that there is a single injury to the nerve that leads to additional entrapment of the nerve on the same axis. In a study on carpal tunnel syndrome, it was found that over two thirds of the patients were experiencing double crush syndrome. It is no wonder that many patients treated surgically for carpal tunnel syndrome experience the same symptoms in less than 8 months following surgery. Muscle release therapies, chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy modalities, and diet and lifestyle coaching are the key ingredients for the successful treatment and relief for the pain, tingling and numbness of double crush syndrome and other similar wrist and forearm pains.
