We understand how debilitating carpal tunnel syndrome can be, affecting your ability to perform everyday tasks, coping with the pain, and diminishing your quality of life. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into the palm of your hand, becomes compressed or pinched at the wrist. This can result from repetitive motions, poor posture, wrist injuries, or even imbalances in the spine that lead to nerve interference. In many cases, prolonged typing, excessive phone use, or improper ergonomics can worsen the condition. We aim to identify the root causes of your symptoms and provide targeted treatments that address both the source and the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
To effectively treat carpal tunnel syndrome, we utilize a combination of spine and joint adjustments. Misalignments in the neck and upper back can place unnecessary stress on the nerves that control the hands and wrists. By performing gentle chiropractic adjustments to realign the spine and reduce nerve interference, we can promote better nerve function and relieve the pressure on the median nerve. Additionally, we focus on the joints of the wrist and hand, ensuring that they are moving correctly and are free from restriction. These adjustments can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and restore proper motion to the affected areas.
In conjunction with adjustments, we provide personalized exercises designed to strengthen and stretch the muscles and tendons around the wrist and forearm. These exercises are critical for relieving tension, improving flexibility, and possibly preventing future flare-ups of carpal tunnel syndrome. As part of your treatment plan, you will receive a computer printout with a custom exercise regimen tailored to your specific needs. Furthermore, our doctors will guide you through proper techniques and postures to prevent the condition from returning, empowering you with the tools to take charge of your health and avoid unnecessary pain.
