Carpal tunnel syndrome affects the narrow passageway in the wrist where the median nerve travels into the hand. When this space becomes irritated or compressed, it can lead to abnormal sensations, tingling, pain in the fingers, or weakness during daily tasks. Common causes include overusing the hands, placing pressure on the wrist for long periods, or overstretching movements that strain the surrounding tissues. A chiropractor can help by improving wrist and spine alignment, reducing tension in the forearm muscles, and guiding safer movement patterns that relieve pressure on the median nerve. Early care can prevent symptoms from worsening. If you have wrist pain that is affecting your daily activities, it is suggested that you consult a chiropractor who can offer natural relief solutions that support healing and comfortable hand function.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome, or CTS, is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments, and when it becomes compressed or inflamed, it can put pressure on the nerve. Symptoms of CTS include tingling, numbness, weakness, and pain in the hand and fingers, often making simple tasks difficult and uncomfortable.

Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive approach to managing CTS by addressing alignment and reducing nerve pressure. Chiropractors start by evaluating the wrist, elbow, and even the cervical spine or neck, as misalignments in these areas can contribute to nerve compression in the wrist. Through gentle adjustments, chiropractors can improve the alignment of the wrist and spine, helping to reduce the pressure on the median nerve.

In addition to adjustments, chiropractors may use soft tissue therapy, such as stretching and myofascial release, to reduce inflammation surrounding the wrist and enhance mobility.

Why Consider Chiropractic for CTS?

Chiropractic care can provide lasting relief by targeting the root causes of CTS, reducing pain, and promoting long-term hand and wrist health.

Can Chiropractic Care Address Repetitive Strain as a Cause of CTS?

Chiropractic care can help manage repetitive strain by improving joint alignment and recommending ergonomic adjustments.

Headaches can make it hard to focus, work, or enjoy daily life. They often come from tension in the neck and shoulders, poor posture, stress, or problems with how the spine and muscles function. When the neck or upper back is not properly aligned, it can place pressure on nearby nerves and muscles, leading to pain that travels to the head. Some headaches cause dull, steady aching, while others bring sharp or throbbing pain, sometimes with light or sound sensitivity. A chiropractor can help by improving spinal alignment and reducing tension that may be affecting the nerves and muscles connected to the head and neck. This can support better movement, circulation, and nerve function, which may help decrease headache frequency and intensity. If headaches are interfering with your day-to-day life, it is suggested that you schedule a visit with a chiropractor. 

Headaches are a widespread issue, often caused by stress, poor posture, or tension in the neck and shoulders. They can range from dull, persistent discomfort to sharp, debilitating pain, interfering with daily activities and reducing quality of life. Muscle tension and joint misalignments in the cervical spine are frequent contributors to headaches, particularly tension and neck-related headaches. Ignoring these issues can result in recurring or worsening symptoms.
Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free solution for headache relief. Chiropractors assess spinal alignment and posture to identify factors contributing to the pain. Treatment may include precise spinal adjustments to reduce pressure on nerves, relax tight muscles, and improve mobility.
1. Are headaches ever caused by issues in the lower spine?
While less common, misalignments in the lower spine can create compensatory issues throughout the body, including tension in the neck and shoulders, which may contribute to headaches.
2. How does chiropractic care address sinus headaches?
Chiropractors can perform gentle adjustments and soft tissue work around the neck and upper back to improve drainage and reduce sinus pressure, providing relief from sinus-related headaches.
