Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve at any point as it travels from the neck through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This pressure can lead to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and fingers, often worsening at night or with repetitive hand movements. The condition is commonly associated with activities that involve frequent wrist flexion or gripping, such as typing or using tools. In severe cases, it can result in weakened grip strength and difficulty with fine motor tasks. Early intervention and treatment, including ergonomic adjustments, splinting, and therapy, can help alleviate symptoms and prevent progression.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, or part of the ring fingers
Pain in the wrist, hand, or forearm, which may extend up the arm
Weakness in the hand or difficulty gripping objects
Pain that worsens at night or with repetitive hand movements
A sensation of swelling in the fingers, even when no swelling is visible
Why Seek Chiropractic Care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Both the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the University of Maryland Medical Center have listed chiropractic therapy as an acceptable alternative to standard medical care for CTS, and clinical research over the past 25 years supports chiropractic care for the treatment and management of CTS. Chiropractic care offers individuals with CTS an effective option to help regain lost function and quality of life—and may help CTS sufferers avoid unnecessary, invasive and potentially unsuccessful surgery.
