Chiropractic Care for Carpal Tunnel

How do chiropractors help Carpal Tunnel?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is often caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Our providers first conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying causes of the condition, which may involve misalignments more central in the spine or neck or more distal in the shoulder or elbow, contributing to nerve impingement. Through gentle adjustments, we can give more space to the affected joints or soft tissue, relieving pressure on the median nerve and promoting better nerve function. Additionally, we can recommend exercises and stretches to improve wrist flexibility and strength, as well as offer ergonomic advice to prevent further strain on the wrist caused by work or other hobbies.
