Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in your hand and fingers, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks.

Whether you’ve been dealing with CTS for a long time or have just started experiencing symptoms, our team is here to help you find lasting relief.
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This pressure can result from repetitive hand movements, poor wrist positioning, or inflammation. Common symptoms include pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand, particularly in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing carpal tunnel syndrome. Our chiropractors focus on relieving pressure on the median nerve and improving wrist and hand function through targeted adjustments and therapies.
Spinal and Extremity Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments can address misalignments in the spine, neck, shoulder, and wrist, which may be contributing to your symptoms. By correcting these misalignments, we reduce nerve interference and promote proper function throughout the upper extremities.
Wrist and Hand Mobilization Techniques
Gentle mobilization techniques can improve flexibility and reduce inflammation in the wrist and hand. These techniques help alleviate pressure on the median nerve and enhance circulation, promoting faster healing.
Soft Tissue Therapy and Muscle Rehabilitation
Soft tissue therapy focuses on relieving tension and scar tissue buildup in the muscles and tendons around the wrist. We use targeted massage and stretching exercises to restore normal function and reduce pain.
Posture and Ergonomic Recommendations
Chiropractors assess your posture and workstation ergonomics to identify habits that may be worsening your carpal tunnel symptoms. We provide recommendations on improving posture and adjusting your work environment to prevent further strain on your wrist and hand.
