Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Tucson
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into the palm of your hand, is compressed at the wrist. This compression can be due to various factors, including repetitive hand movements, wrist anatomy, or underlying health conditions.
What are the Benefits?
Chiropractic care focuses on addressing issues with your muscles and nerves. For carpal tunnel syndrome, chiropractors use hands-on techniques (and sometimes specialized instruments) to adjust the wrist, arm, and spine. These adjustments help reduce inflammation, relieve pressure on the median nerve, alleviate pain, improve hand function, and help your body heal better.
Is it safe?
Yes, chiropractic care is safe when performed by a licensed, trained chiropractor. Serious problems from spinal adjustments are very rare, especially when compared to the side effects of drugs and the risks of surgery. Chiropractors receive extensive training to ensure they can provide help without causing harm. During your initial appointment in Tucson, we will discuss your health history and address any concerns you may have before beginning treatment.
What Our Patients are Saying
What happens during a chiropractic visit for carpal tunnel syndrome?
We will review your health history and conduct a physical examination during your initial visit. In some cases, we may refer you for x-rays. After evaluating the results, we will discuss a treatment plan tailored to help you achieve your health goals. This plan usually includes adjustments to your wrist, arm, and possibly your spine, along with other therapies such as soft tissue manipulation, stretching exercises, and ergonomic advice to help reduce your symptoms and improve your hand function.
