Carpal tunnel syndrome is fairly common among adults, and if you have started feeling pain in your wrists, hands and fingers it could be a sign of carpal tunnel setting in. Symptoms and pain level of carpal tunnel can vary, but in severe cases people can lose their ability to work, pursue their hobbies and/or live life to the fullest.

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
Often the result of repeated, aggressive actions taken by the hands or wrists, carpal tunnel pain can appear in a matter of days or worsen gradually over time. The issue which causes carpal tunnel pain is nerve related, and for this reason chiropractic care can help. When the tissues in the wrist swell, they can put pressure on a nerve which runs from the spinal cord in the neck all the way through your wrist. This nerve irritation, movement and pressure leads to the syndrome.
How does chiropractic care help?
Chiropractic care focuses on adjusting the body’s alignment and allowing the spine, neck and other bodily systems to line up and function properly, and without pain. In the treatment of carpal tunnel, chiropractic care seeks to promote healing through ensuring every part of the spine is aligned correctly. In this way, we don’t treat just a symptom, but rather try to correct the root cause of the issue. By correctly aligning everything, pressure on the nerve can be released and immediate relief can be felt.
Why is chiropractic care better?
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive way to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, and should be your first choice when considering a treatment. Rather than introducing foreign substances into the body or moving forward with surgeries which can be painful and have long recovery periods, chiropractic care is natural, has no side effects and can result in immediate relief or relief in a few sessions depending on the severity of the issue. Like all our care plans, we focus on the entire body and often can provide lasting success for carpal tunnel through chiropractic care.
