Carpal Tunnel Relief in Gastonia

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) affects millions of people, causing discomfort that makes it challenging to perform daily and work-related tasks. This common condition develops when the median nerve becomes compressed as it travels through the narrow carpal tunnel in your wrist. The good news? Chiropractic care offers effective, drug-free approaches to relieve pain and restore function without resorting to invasive procedures like surgery.

The Symptoms and Causes

The telltale signs of CTS include numbness, tingling, and pain, typically affecting the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. These sensations often get worse during nighttime hours or after extended periods of hand use. Many patients also experience weakness that makes simple tasks like gripping objects or opening jars difficult.

Here are some factors that can contribute to this condition:

• Repetitive hand movements from typing, assembly line work, or playing instruments
• Wrist injuries or fractures that alter the tunnel’s anatomy
• Inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis
• Fluid retention from pregnancy or hormonal changes
• Medical conditions, including diabetes and thyroid disorders

How We Can Help
