Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the median nerve as it passes through the wrist. It often develops gradually and can interfere with work, sleep, and daily activities. Many patients rely on pain medication or consider surgery, but chiropractic care offers a safe, non-invasive option for long-term carpal tunnel syndrome treatment.
Common Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Repetitive hand and wrist movements (typing, assembly work, sports)
- Poor ergonomics at workstations
- Pregnancy-related swelling
- Arthritis or other inflammatory conditions
- Wrist trauma or injury
Symptoms to Watch For
- Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, or middle fingers
- Weak grip strength and dropping objects
- Burning or aching pain in the wrist or forearm
- Symptoms worsening at night or with activity
Chiropractic Care for Carpal Tunnel
Chiropractic treatment addresses both the wrist and contributing factors like posture and spinal alignment. Care may include:
- Wrist and hand adjustments to relieve nerve compression
- Spinal and neck adjustments to address contributing nerve irritation
- Soft tissue therapy for forearm muscles and tendons
- Ergonomic advice for workstations and daily activities
- Rehabilitation exercises to strengthen and stabilise the wrist
This approach provides holistic, natural carpal tunnel treatment.
Self-Care Tips
- Take breaks from repetitive tasks
- Stretch wrists and forearms daily
- Use ergonomic keyboards or mouse setups
- Wear a supportive wrist brace if recommended
