Non-Surgical Relief for Wrist Pain, Numbness & Tingling.
If you're experiencing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand and wrist, you may have been told you have carpal tunnel syndrome. Before considering surgery, discover how chiropractic care can often provide significant relief by addressing nerve interference throughout the entire pathway, not just at the wrist.
Research has shown that many cases of "carpal tunnel syndrome" actually involve nerve compression at multiple points, a concept called "double crush syndrome." The median nerve travels from your neck, through your shoulder, down your arm, through your elbow, and finally through the carpal tunnel in your wrist. Compression at ANY point along this path can cause symptoms, which is why wrist surgery sometimes fails.
Conservative care like chiropractic should always be tried before considering carpal tunnel surgery. Many patients find complete relief without ever needing surgical intervention by addressing nerve compression along the entire pathway.
Plain language context before you read the full guide.
Our doctors evaluate the entire nerve pathway to find ALL sources of compression, not just the wrist.
We evaluate every potential compression site: the cervical spine for subluxations compressing nerve roots, the shoulder and thoracic outlet for compression in this common trouble spot, the elbow and pronator teres, and the carpal tunnel itself. This comprehensive approach identifies the true source of your symptoms.
Using Talsky Tonal Chiropractic and KST techniques, we deliver precise, gentle adjustments with no cracking, popping, or forceful manipulation. We address subluxations and restrictions throughout the entire nerve pathway. By correcting compression at ALL sites, not just the wrist, we provide more complete and lasting relief.
We provide workstation ergonomic recommendations, stretching and strengthening exercises for the wrist and forearm, guidance on device usage and positioning, and strategies to prevent symptom recurrence in your daily work and activities.
Every person is different. These are educational points to help you ask better questions.
Yes. By addressing nerve compression along the entire median nerve pathway, from neck to wrist, chiropractic care often provides significant relief. Many cases of carpal tunnel involve compression at multiple points (double crush syndrome), and addressing only the wrist misses the bigger picture.
The median nerve that causes carpal tunnel symptoms originates in the cervical spine. Subluxations in the neck can compress these nerve roots, making the nerve more susceptible to irritation downstream. Correcting cervical misalignments often produces dramatic improvement in hand symptoms.
In most cases, yes. Conservative care should be attempted before considering surgical intervention. Many patients find complete relief through chiropractic care without surgery. If your condition requires surgical consultation, our doctors will refer you appropriately.
Yes. Post-surgical patients who still have symptoms often benefit from chiropractic care. If the nerve was compressed at additional sites beyond the carpal tunnel, surgery at the wrist alone may not fully resolve symptoms. We can evaluate and address remaining compression points.
