Effective Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief at Sam’s Chiropractic Inc.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a painful and often debilitating condition caused by chronic compression of the nerves in the wrist. This compression leads to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the thumb and first two fingers, affecting grip strength and dexterity. Without proper treatment, symptoms may persist or worsen over time, leading to muscle weakness and reduced hand function.
At Sam’s Chiropractic Inc., we take a holistic approach to treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by focusing on spinal alignment, wrist mobility, and ergonomic solutions to relieve pressure on the median nerve.
What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is most commonly associated with repetitive hand movements, such as:
Assembly line work
Writing, drawing, or playing instruments
Prolonged use of handheld devices
However, other risk factors can contribute to nerve compression in the wrist, including:
Obesity – Extra weight can put pressure on nerves and joints.
Pregnancy – Increased fluid retention may lead to swelling azd compression.
Rheumatoid Arthritis – Chronic inflammation can cause swelling in the carpal tunnel.
Poor Posture & Spinal Misalignment – Improper alignment can contribute to nerve impingement and inflammation.
If left untreated, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can lead to permanent nerve damage and loss of hand function, making early intervention essential.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Sam’s Chiropractic Inc., we use proven chiropractic and physiotherapy techniques to relieve pain and improve hand and wrist function. Our comprehensive treatment approach includes:
1. Spinal & Wrist Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments to the cervical spine (neck), shoulder, and wrist help reduce nerve irritation that contributes to carpal tunnel pain. Proper alignment allows the nervous system to function optimally, reducing inflammation and improving mobility.
2. Manual Therapy & Kinesiotaping
Manual therapy techniques, such as soft tissue mobilization and massage, help release tension in the wrist, forearm, and shoulder muscles. Kinesiotaping supports proper wrist positioning and reduces strain on the median nerve, providing relief from symptoms.
3. Ergonomic Workstation & Posture Correction
Poor workstation setup and improper posture can contribute to chronic nerve compression. We provide guidance on ergonomic improvements, such as:
- Using a wrist rest while typing
- Adjusting desk and chair height for proper alignment
- Taking frequent breaks to stretch and rest the hands
- By making simple ergonomic adjustments, you can significantly reduce strain on your hands and wrists, preventing further damage.
4. Strengthening & Stretching Exercises
Targeted wrist and hand exercises help improve flexibility and strength, reducing symptoms and restoring function. Simple stretches and movements can increase circulation, relieve tension, and support long-term relief.
