Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

grabbing wrist with pain

CTS

occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist.  The carpal tunnel—a narrow, rigid passageway of ligament and bones at the base of the hand—houses the median nerve and the tendons that bend the fingers.  The median nerve provides feeling to the palm side of the thumb and the index, middle, and part of the ring fingers (although not the little finger). It also controls some small muscles at the base of the thumb. 

Common Causes

Conditions Associated

Common symptoms

 Carpal tunnel syndrome can be made worse if the wrist is overextended repeatedly. Repeated motions of your wrist contribute to swelling and compression of the median nerve. 


  • Poor positioning of your wrists while using your keyboard or mouse.
  • Prolonged exposure to vibrations from using hand tools or power tools.
  • Any repeated movement that overextends your wrist, such as playing the piano or typing.
  • Misalignment of the joints in the wrist causing compression of the median nerve in combination with impingement of nerves in the neck or shoulder.

Common symptoms

Conditions Associated

Common symptoms

  • Tingling or numbness. You may experience tingling and numbness in your fingers or hand. This sensation often occurs while holding a steering wheel, phone, or newspaper or, commonly, waking you from sleeping. 
  • The sensation may extend from your wrist up to your arm.
  • Many people “shake out” their hands to try to relieve their symptoms. As the disorder progresses, the numb feeling may become constant.
  • You may experience weakness in your hand and a tendency to drop objects. This may be due to the numbness in your hand or weakness of the thumb’s pinching muscles, which are controlled by the median nerve.

Conditions Associated

  • Fractures Or Trauma To The Wrist
  • Autoimmune Disorders Such As Rheumatoid Arthritis

We Can Help!

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a repetitive stress injury (RSI). This category of injury is caused by repetitive motion, for instance, typing or assembly line work, therefore cause pain and injury over time. 

The earlier that an RSI is diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome can be. Diagnosis includes physical examination and possibly x-rays. Typically, the chiropractic treatment for RSI includes a manual adjustment of the affected wrist and elbow, as well as a manual adjustment of the upper spine. 


Our office policy is we will not treat any patient for longer than two weeks without experiencing significant results. We will continue to evaluate your progress to ensure we have chosen the most effective treatment for your condition.
