Put Pain Behind You: How Chiropractic Care Can Help Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common nerve conditions affecting people today — yet so many don’t realize conservative care like chiropractic can offer real relief.
What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome happens when the median nerve — which runs from your forearm into your palm — gets compressed at the wrist. This small space in the wrist, the “carpal tunnel,” can become narrowed due to inflammation, overuse, pregnancy, or misalignment of the wrist or cervical spine. The result? Tingling, numbness, burning, and weakness in the hand and fingers.
Who Is Most at Risk?
We commonly see Carpal Tunnel in:
- Office workers and tech users (repetitive keyboard or mouse use)
- Hairdressers, dental professionals, and manual laborers
- Pregnant and postpartum moms — especially due to fluid retention and ligament laxity
- New moms dealing with “mommy wrist” or “mommy elbow” — a strain from holding and lifting baby repetitively
Chiropractic First — Not Last
Too many people go months or years without seeking care, and when they do, they’re handed medications, splints, or even surgery as the first option. But what if chiropractic came first?
Chiropractic adjustments of the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and even the cervical spine can reduce nerve interference, restore motion, and relieve pressure. Specific soft tissue work and nerve flossing exercises often make a dramatic difference — especially when combined with proper ergonomic advice and home care strategies.
What the Research Says
A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome who received chiropractic care, including spinal adjustments and wrist manipulation, showed significant improvement in pain and function compared to those who used standard medical treatments alone. In many cases, conservative care helped patients avoid surgery altogether.
Affordable, Natural Relief
Surgery can be costly — and often doesn’t guarantee permanent relief. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach that can improve symptoms quickly and affordably. Many patients at Mustard Seed Chiropractic report noticeable changes in just a few visits.
