It’s All in the Wrist: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Did you know Chiropractic can help those suffering from Carpal tunnel syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the hand and wrist. It is caused by the compression of the median nerve, which runs from the forearm to the hand, through a narrow passageway called the carpal tunnel. This compression can cause symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain in the hand and wrist, and even weakness of the in the hand.

Chiropractic treatment for CTS typically involves adjustments to the spine and other affected areas such as the wrist, in conjunction with other therapies such as soft tissue work, stretching, and exercises. We may also suggest splinting the wrist and an evaluation of work ergonomics. The ultimate goal of treatment is to alleviate pressure on the median nerve and to reduce inflammation.
