Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Chiropractic Care:

Finding Relief for Your Hands

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition that can cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and arm. It occurs when the median nerve, one of the major nerves to the hand, is compressed or squeezed as it travels through the wrist. In our fast-moving world, with repetitive motions from typing to texting, CTS has become a common complaint, disrupting daily activities and sleep due to discomfort and pain. At Serene Chiropractic, we understand how critical hand function is and the frustration that comes with CTS. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to alleviate the symptoms and address the root cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Here’s how we can help:

1. **Elbow and Spinal Adjustments**: Because nerves travel through the spine and arm, chiropractic adjustments of the upper spine and elbow can sometimes improve nerve function and alleviate CTS symptoms.

2. **Soft Tissue Therapy**: Myofascial release and other soft tissue therapies can help relax the muscles and reduce inflammation around the carpal tunnel, decreasing the pressure on the median nerve.

3. **Rehabilitative Exercises**: We may recommend specific exercises to strengthen the muscles in the hand and wrist, increasing support for the carpal tunnel and preventing future strain.

4. **Lifestyle and Ergonomic Advice**: We provide tailored advice to help you adjust your workspace and habits that contribute to CTS. Proper posture and ergonomic tools can minimize stress on your hands and wrists.

5. **Cold Laser Therapy**: we offer cold laser therapy, which uses low-level light to reduce pain and inflammation and promote healing in the carpal tunnel area.

6. **Wrist and Hand Adjustments**: Specific chiropractic techniques can be applied to the wrist and hand to reduce joint restrictions or misalignments, which may relieve the pressure on the median nerve responsible for CTS symptoms.

By addressing both the symptoms and the causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, chiropractic care aims to restore function and relieve pain without the need for surgery or medication. If you’re seeking a hands-on approach to better hand health, our dedicated team at Serene Chiropractic is ready to help you grasp relief and get back to the activities you enjoy.
