Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment at ChiroMend Natural Health Center
Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms & Impact
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes compressed at the wrist tunnel. This narrow passage is made up of bones, ligaments, tendons, and vessels; when pressure builds inside, it causes pain, numbness, or weakness in the hand and wrist.
Common symptoms include:
- Numbness, tingling, or burning in the thumb, index, middle, or ring fingers
- Wrist pain radiating into the forearm
- Weak hand grip or difficulty holding objects
- Symptoms worse at night or upon waking
- Loss of coordination in fine motor tasks
Typical causes include repetitive wrist motions, prolonged flexion or extension, wrist injuries, arthritis, fluid retention, or systemic conditions like diabetes or thyroid disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can chiropractic care eliminate carpal tunnel syndrome completely?
Chiropractic and rehabilitation care can significantly reduce symptoms, improve nerve function, and prevent long-term issues, especially when started early and combined with ergonomic corrections.
What if I’ve had symptoms for a long time?
Even chronic CTS can benefit from care, though recovery may take longer and require consistent rehabilitation and activity modification.
Will I need to stop work or certain activities?
No. The goal is to continue your normal activities safely, with ergonomic improvements and proper wrist positioning.
Are there at-home treatments that help?
Yes—maintain a neutral wrist posture, take regular breaks, perform nerve-gliding exercises, and strengthen forearm muscles gradually.
Is surgery ever necessary?
Surgery is only needed in severe or unresponsive cases. Early conservative treatment at ChiroMend Natural Health Center can often prevent the need for surgery.
