Welcome to another Weekly Terminology! This week we will be going over a common condition treated in our office called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!
Are you experiencing numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hands, especially at night or after repetitive tasks like typing? You could be dealing with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). This condition occurs when the median nerve, which travels from your neck down to your hand, becomes compressed at the wrist in a narrow space called the carpal tunnel. This tunnel is surrounded by bones and ligaments, and when there's inflammation, misalignment, or repetitive strain, it can pinch the nerve, leading to pain, tingling, and even muscle weakness.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is often caused by repetitive hand motions, poor ergonomics, wrist injuries, or even nerve irritation that starts in the neck or shoulder. That’s why treating just the wrist often isn’t enough. At Nadeau Chiropractic Associates, we take a whole-body approach. Our chiropractic care focuses on correcting misalignments not only in the wrist, but also along the entire nerve pathway from the neck to the hand. Many times, carpal tunnel is misdiagnosed and the true problem is somewhere along the pathway. We provide gentle adjustments to restore proper joint motion, reduce nerve interference, and relieve tension. We also offer guidance, ergonomic tips, and information to support long-term healing and prevention.
If hand or wrist pain is interfering with your daily life, don’t wait. Chiropractic care may be the natural, drug-free solution you’ve been looking for. Call us today to schedule your consultation! We’re here to help you feel and function better!
