Are you suffering from the discomfort and limitations caused by carpal tunnel syndrome?

Our team of highly skilled chiropractors specializes in treating carpal tunnel syndrome and can help you regain control of your daily activities without relying on invasive procedures or medications.
Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that affects the hand and wrist. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, becomes compressed or irritated. This compression can result in symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers.
While carpal tunnel syndrome is often associated with repetitive hand movements, such as typing or using a computer mouse, it can also be caused by underlying health conditions like arthritis, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances. If left untreated, carpal tunnel syndrome can significantly impact your quality of life and interfere with your ability to perform day-to-day tasks.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Backlund Chiropractic and Holistic Health, we take a holistic approach to treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Our chiropractors are trained to identify the root cause of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that focuses on restoring proper function to your wrist, hand, and nervous system.
Chiropractic adjustments are a safe and effective treatment modality for carpal tunnel syndrome. By gently realigning the bones of the wrist and reducing any pressure on the median nerve, chiropractic adjustments can alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and restore normal nerve function. These adjustments are performed by our skilled chiropractors, who use precise and gentle techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Complementary Therapies for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
In addition to chiropractic adjustments, our team may incorporate complementary therapies to enhance the effectiveness of your carpal tunnel syndrome treatment plan. These therapies may include:
- Massage Therapy: Massage techniques can help relax the muscles and reduce tension in the wrist and hand, relieving pain and promoting healing.
- Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: Our chiropractors may recommend specific exercises to improve flexibility and increase strength in the affected area, helping to support proper alignment and prevent future injuries.
- Hot/Cold Therapy: The application of hot or cold packs can help reduce inflammation and soothe discomfort associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
While we offer effective treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome, we also believe in the importance of prevention. To reduce your risk of developing this condition, consider implementing the following practices:
- Take Breaks: If you perform repetitive hand movements for extended periods, take regular breaks to rest and stretch your hands and wrists.
- Ergonomic Workstation: Ensure your workstation is set up ergonomically, with proper wrist support, and maintain good posture while working.
- Exercise Regularly: Engage in regular physical activity to promote overall flexibility, strength, and circulation.
- Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight can contribute to increased pressure on the nerves and joints, so strive for a healthy weight through balanced nutrition and regular exercise.
