Carpal Tunnel Syndrome #4 Treatment!

Tight wrist flexor muscles can create knots/trigger points, leading to more inflammation inside the tunnel.

🔹 Treatment options aims to release tension, reduce inflammation, free scar tissue, and restore wrist mobility.
🔹 Strengthening protects tendons from overuse irritation.
🔹 Nerve glides help mobilize the trapped median nerve.
🔹 Night bracing prevents long hours of compression while sleeping.

✨ Everyone responds differently—what works best depends on your unique case.
📈 Many people notice significant improvement within 5–10 sessions, though ongoing care may be needed if daily strain (like repetitive work) continues.

Is this what you expected from a chiropractor?
Chiropractic care isn’t just about “cracking backs”—it’s about helping people move better, recover faster, and manage all musculoskeletal conditions

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome #3

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a compressive neuropathy of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist into the hand.

Typical symptoms include:

-Aching or burning pain on the palm side of the wrist
-Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger (first 3½ fingers)

Symptoms are often worse at night, leading people to wake up with numb fingers and try to "shake out" their hand to relieve the discomfort
If the entire hand or arm is numb, the compression may be higher up the arm — and in some cases, more than one nerve can be compressed at multiple sites.

The median nerve can become compressed due to:

-Thickening or scarring of the transverse carpal ligament
-Swelling of the wrist flexor tendons

Common risk groups include:

-Pregnant patients (due to fluid retention)
-People with metabolic conditions like diabetes or obesity
-Manual labourers, machine operators
-Desk workers or anyone doing repetitive wrist/keyboard tasks

Diagnosis is often clinical — based on:

-Risk factors
-Pattern of symptoms
-What makes it better or worse
In fact, a good history and physical exam can be almost as accurate as a nerve conduction study!

A nerve study is typically used if:
The diagnosis is unclear, or
Surgery is being considered
