What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome happens when the nerves around your wrist — especially the median nerve — get irritated or compressed. This pressure disrupts normal nerve function, causing symptoms like pain, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Often, it’s tied to repetitive motions, like typing on a computer all day or working with tools, but it can also result from wrist positioning or certain medical conditions. In simple terms, carpal tunnel is your body’s way of saying, “Something needs attention.” The sooner it’s addressed, the better your chances of avoiding long-term damage.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome often shows up with symptoms like:
- Numbness or tingling in your fingers or hand, especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers
- Pain or discomfort concentrated around the wrist
- Achiness or a tight feeling in the hand or wrist
- Weak grip strength or difficulty holding onto objects
Early hand fatigue during daily activities like writing, using utensils, or even texting If any of these sound familiar, it’s a good idea to get checked. Ignoring the signs can lead to worsening weakness and nerve damage over time.
Causes of Carpal Tunnel
Carpal tunnel isn’t caused by one single thing. Some common causes include:
- Repetitive wrist motions (typing, using a mouse, hairstyling, etc.)
- Frequent or prolonged wrist flexion or awkward hand positions
- Pressure on the wrist from swelling or inflammation
- Medical conditions like diabetes, hypothyroidism, obesity, or rheumatoid arthritis
Prior wrist injuries or fractures Sometimes it’s not even one major injury — small stresses over time can add up until symptoms appear seemingly out of nowhere.
Chiropractic Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
At Washington Chiropractic, we take a conservative, non-surgical approach to treating carpal tunnel. Our focus is on relieving pressure on the median nerve and improving the health of surrounding tissues. Treatment may include:
- Gentle manual therapy to reduce tension and decompress the wrist
- Nerve gliding (nerve flossing) exercises to encourage healthy nerve movement
- Deep friction massage techniques to ease tight muscles and fascia
- Posture coaching and ergonomic advice to prevent future flare-ups
- Targeted stretches and strength exercises to support long-term recovery.
Every care plan is customized based on your specific symptoms, work demands, and daily habits. We work with your body—not against it—to promote healing.
