At Better Life Chiropractic, we know how frustrating and limiting Carpal Tunnel syndrome can be, constant tingling, numbness, pain in the wrist and hand, weakened grip, and sleep disruption.
What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome arises when the median nerve—passing through a tight space in the wrist called the carpal tunnel—becomes compressed. Pressure can build from repetitive wrist motions, inflammation, hormonal shifts, arthritis, or injury. When the nerve is irritated, symptoms often include tingling, numbness, pain in the fingers and wrist, weakness in the hand, and trouble with fine motor tasks.
Recognizing the Symptoms Early
If you have Carpal Tunnel, you may notice:
- Pins-and-needles or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
- Weakness: difficulty gripping objects, dropping things, or diminished hand strength
- Pain radiating up into the forearm, especially with wrist flexion or extension
- Worsening at night, possibly waking you up or making sleep uncomfortable
- Problems with tasks like typing, buttoning, cooking, or holding small items
Traditional Treatments & Their Limits
Typical interventions include wrist splints, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, and, in severe cases, surgical decompression. While these can offer relief, they may mask symptoms rather than fix the cause. Surgery carries downtime and recovery risks, and medications often bring side effects.
Better Life Chiropractic’s Approach: Natural, Holistic, Effective
At Better Life Chiropractic, our goal is not just to reduce pain today but to set you on a sustainable healing journey. Here’s how we do it:
- Chiropractic Adjustments: Aligning the wrist, elbow, and often the neck to reduce pressure on the median nerve.
- Soft Tissue Therapies & Myofascial Release: Releasing tight muscles/tendons that contribute to compression.
- Nerve Mobilization & Stretching Exercises: Gentle, guided movements to restore mobility and reduce irritation.
- Ergonomic Guidance & Lifestyle Changes: Modifying workstations, hand-use habits, and sleeping positions to prevent aggravation.
- Therapeutic Modalities: Use of cold laser, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation where needed to reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and speed repair.
