CARPAL TUNNEL | Kostas Chiropractic

Could You Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

If placing your hands back-to-back increases numbness, tingling, or pain, it might be a sign of carpal tunnel syndrome – a common condition caused by repetitive motion and joint dysfunction.

Repetitive Hand and Wrist Motion: A Leading Cause

Every day, individuals like assembly line workers, keyboard operators, and grocery clerks experience micro-traumas to their hands and wrists. These repetitive motions, often combined with spinal misalignment and joint dysfunction, can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.

SYMPTOMS OF CARPAL TUNNEL

Persistent Pain

Constant or recurring pain in the hand or wrist, often felt as aching, sharp discomfort, or pressure. It may worsen with repetitive movement or daily tasks, impacting your quality of life.

Tingling & Numbness

Reduced grip strength that makes it difficult to hold, lift, or carry objects. This weakness can affect daily activities like opening jars, typing, or using hand tools, leading to frustration.

Grip Weakness

A sensation of tingling or "pins and needles," often felt in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. This can cause nighttime discomfort or occur during tasks like typing or gripping objects.

Loss of Hand Function

Decreased ability to use the hand for precise tasks, like buttoning clothes or typing. This loss of function may limit fine motor skills and make everyday activities more challenging.

How Kostas Clinics Can Help.

Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive solution for managing carpal tunnel syndrome by addressing the root causes of nerve irritation. Here's how:

Specific Chiropractor Adjustments
Adjustments restore normal joint motion and position, reducing pressure on the median nerve, which controls sensation and movement in the fingers.

Understanding the Median Nerve

The median nerve runs from your fingertips, through the wrist bones, up the arm, and connects to your spinal cord via openings in the lower neck. Any dysfunction along this path can contribute to symptoms.

The Role of the Carpal Tunnel

The carpal "tunnel" is formed by the wrist bones, allowing the median nerve, tendons, and blood vessels to pass through. Misalignment or "collapse" of these bones can cause inflammation, nerve pressure, and painful symptoms.

After a thorough examination, your chiropractor will identify the areas contributing to your condition and perform precise adjustments to normalize joint structure and reduce nerve irritation.
