Chiropractic Care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects your wrist and hands. A nerve that sends signals to and from your hands, travels through a tunnel-like structure in your wrist. If this tunnel becomes compromised due to injury or overuse, it may place pressure on the median nerve. When this happens, you experience symptoms such as:
- Numbness in your hand
- A tingling or pins and needles sensation in your hand
- Hand weakness or inability to grasp objects
- Limited mobility in your hand and wrist
Dr. Garcia examines your hand and wrist and then uses chiropractic adjustments to position your wrist and remove the pressure off the nerve. These adjustments are gentle and you may experience an immediate reduction in your hand symptoms. As you progress through chiropractic treatments, your body learns to maintain this healthier position and your pain is reduced. Then, our wellness team shows you how to avoid future episodes of carpal tunnel syndrome. This may require changes in the way your workstation is arranged or an adjustment in the way you participate in sports or perform repetitive motions. As you learn exercises to strengthen and stretch your hands and wrists, you also feel pain relief and a restoration of movement.
