Can chiropractic care help with carpal tunnel syndrome?

Many people are diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and experience symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness in the thumb, index, or middle finger. Carpal tunnel syndrome involves issues with the hands and wrists and is becoming increasingly common due to frequent use of mobile devices and computers.

 Carpal tunnel release is one of the most common surgeries performed today, but the problem with a surgical approach to a repetitive strain injury, like CTS, is that frequently, even after the rigors of surgery the symptoms will return within a year or two. Fortunately, you can seek a non-surgical solution to this problem right here at Bay Area Wellness.

What is CTS?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a very common condition that can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and/or arm. This condition can occur when the median nerve to the hand is compressed or squeezed as it travels through the wrist.  

CTS causes a variety of uncomfortable symptoms in the hand and fingers — from sharp, intermittent hand pain to numbness, tingling sensations, and even some loss of motor function. Forearm pain/numbness and wrist pain are other common complaints. Without treatment, CTS tends to gets progressively worse.

Chiropractic Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Chiropractic care offers a less invasive treatment option for individuals living with CTS. By integrating chiropractic care into your lifestyle, it can improve the symptoms of CTS by easing pain and pressure, offering natural alternatives to pain management medication, and allowing patients to learn how to manage living with CTS to not miss out on their day-to-day activities.

Bay Area Wellness is here to help you if you are ready to try chiropractic care for the treatment of your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
