Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) often develops due to repetitive motions such as typing, texting, or assembly line work. These activities can lead to pain and injury over time. Many individuals with CTS report symptoms like tingling, numbness in the fingers or hand, or even weakness in the hand.

However, what many may not realize is that the underlying cause of their wrist pain could stem from functional changes in the joints of the neck, shoulder, elbow, or wrist.

Chiropractic care can help address these misalignments, providing relief and improving overall function by treating the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Our Natural Approach

We offer gentle chiropractic care to treat the wrist and elbow issues, along with adjustments to the upper spine. Additionally, it may be beneficial to rest the affected arm, use cold therapy to reduce inflammation, and perform targeted exercises. Wearing a splint or brace to immobilize the area is also an option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I wear a wrist brace for my CTS?

A brace is often prescribed to help protect the wrist and keep it immobilized. While it may alleviate some symptoms, wearing a brace doesn’t address the malfunctioning joints that are causing the problem. Chiropractic care addresses the root cause.

How many visits will I need?

It’s important to know that not everyone is going to see a difference in one visit. Sometimes it will take a few more.

I’ve previously had surgery for my CTS; can chiropractic still benefit me?

If you have had surgery for CTS in the past, then chiropractic care for your carpal tunnel may not prove beneficial. That’s because once your body undergoes a surgery like carpal tunnel surgery, it’s not in the original design. That’s why we encourage those with CTS to seek chiropractic first before surgery.
