Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is increasingly common, due to the proliferation of technology and other repetitive movements in our daily lives. Each year, millions of people are diagnosed with CTS. While a treatment called carpal tunnel release has been a popular surgical method to relieve the painful symptoms of CTS, new findings show that almost half of these types of surgeries are not successful. Instead, more and more professionals are recommending chiropractic treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.

What are the Symptoms of CTS?

CTS has very clear symptoms, which include numbing or tingling in the wrist and/or inflammation of the thumb, index finger middle and half of the ring finger.

In practical matters, CTS makes it difficult or impossible to engage in common technological-related activities, such as holding or navigating a computer mouse, typing on a keyboard, texting on a phone, writing with a pen or pencil, and more. More often than not, repetitive motion of the hand and wrist is the culprit.

Chiropractic Treatment For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

 Non-invasive treatments by a professional chiropractor are overwhelmingly preferred before undergoing serious surgery.  Manipulation and ultrasound are standard treatments. Splinting is advised in some cases. Ergonomic adjustments to the workstation may be recommended.
