What is carpal tunnel syndrome and what is it like to live with it?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm, becomes compressed as it passes through the narrow carpal tunnel in the wrist. This pressure can result in pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand—especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
Common symptoms include:
-
Tingling or “pins and needles” sensation in the fingers
-
Numbness or weakness in the hand or wrist
-
Pain that radiates up the arm
-
Difficulty gripping objects or performing fine motor tasks
-
Symptoms that worsen at night or with repetitive hand motions
Living with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can make even simple tasks—like writing, typing, cooking, or buttoning a shirt—painful or difficult. Many people experience interrupted sleep due to hand discomfort or find themselves dropping objects due to grip weakness.
If untreated, CTS can lead to permanent nerve damage and loss of hand function, which is why early and consistent care is so important.
Chiropractic Care for Carpal Tunnel Relief
Chiropractic care can help relieve the pressure on the median nerve by addressing misalignments in the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and even the cervical spine, where the nerve originates. Gentle adjustments and soft tissue therapy can improve mobility, reduce inflammation, and restore normal nerve flow.
In addition to manual techniques, chiropractors may recommend ergonomic adjustments, wrist supports, stretching exercises, and activity modifications to reduce strain and support healing.
This drug-free, non-surgical approach targets the root cause of nerve compression and helps restore function naturally.
