Carpal Tunnel

What Is Carpal Tunnel?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition characterized by numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and arm. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm, becomes compressed or squeezed at the wrist. This compression can result from repetitive motions, injury, anatomical factors, or underlying health conditions.

Common Symptoms:

Symptoms include pain or numbness in one or both hands. Sometimes with the feeling of pins and needles to the fingers. This pain can also result in weakness in the hand especially when trying to hold or grip objects. The thumb, index, and middle fingers are the most affected areas with a burning, tingling, or swollen feeling in the fingers. This pain can also be more severe at night which can interfere with your sleep. It is important to see your healthcare provider because the symptoms can also mimic other problems or conditions.

At Cape Henry Chiropractic Wellness, we specialize in providing non-invasive, effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. Our chiropractors employ a variety of techniques, including gentle adjustments, wrist supports, and ergonomic recommendations to alleviate pressure on the median nerve and reduce symptoms. Through targeted therapies and patient education, we aim to restore proper wrist function and improve overall hand and arm health.
