Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause significant pain, numbness, and reduced use of the wrist and hand — affecting your work and lifestyle. Personalized chiropractic care can help alleviate the pain and weakness associated with the condition.

What Causes Carpal Tunnel?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is normally the result of swelling and inflammation in the wrist. As swelling occurs, the carpal tunnel — the passageway from the wrist into the hand — becomes restricted, putting pressure on the median nerve.

Contributing Factors

Poor work ergonomics is one driver. Anatomical factors play a part too — some of us are born with a smaller carpal tunnel, which leaves less margin before irritation creates symptoms.

Common Symptoms

Symptoms include pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers — often worse at night or after repetitive activity.
