What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm to the palm, becomes compressed at the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway made up of bones and ligaments, and swelling or inflammation in this area can lead to significant discomfort and dysfunction in the hand and wrist.

Medical Conditions

Certain medical conditions, such as arthritis, diabetes, and thyroid disorders, can increase the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. Our holistic approach includes managing these underlying conditions.

  • Arthritis: Inflammation from arthritis can compress the median nerve. Chiropractic care can help reduce joint inflammation.
  • Diabetes: Poor circulation and nerve damage associated with diabetes can exacerbate carpal tunnel symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments can improve blood flow and nerve function.
  • Thyroid Disorders: Thyroid dysfunction can lead to fluid retention, increasing pressure in the carpal tunnel. Chiropractic treatment can help manage these effects.

Injuries

Wrist injuries can contribute to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. Chiropractic care can aid in the recovery process and prevent future complications.

Pregnancy

Hormonal changes and fluid retention during pregnancy can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Chiropractic adjustments can safely reduce pressure on the median nerve.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome typically develop gradually and can include:

  • Numbness and Tingling: Especially in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
  • Pain: Which can radiate from the wrist up the arm.
