Chiropractic Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Chiropractic treatment for Carpal Tunnel  syndrome is painless and effective.  Usual treatments include adjustments to the wrist and full spine as well as several different therapies to reduce swelling and wrist pain. Cold laser treatments can be very effective in reducing pain and swelling.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is often caused by repetitive use movements of the wrist that can cause swelling and nerve damange.  Swelling puts pressure on the medial nerve.  Often this results in pain, numbness, tingling and weakness of the hand.  Often, other medical problems may exist includng diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disfunction and others.

Additionally,  chiropractic care is known to help blood flow through the body and ensure all nerves are inpingement free and healthy.

Other therapies may be used when treating carpal tunnel syndrome.  Patients are recommended to stop or change any repetitive motions that may have caused the condition as well.  A wrist brace may be temporarily necessary to stop the motion and rest the wrist to allow treatments to be successful.

It is important to seek a diagnosis and treatment early to eliminate more extensive nerve damage.
