Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that occurs when the median nerve in your wrist gets compressed. The most common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is repetitive motion or pressure on the outside of your wrist, but it can also be caused by other health conditions such as diabetes and thyroid disease.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: pain in the hands, numbness, tingling around fingers or wrists, muscle weakness where you feel like you are shaking all over (especially at night), difficulty gripping objects with one hand, swollen fingers/wrists from fluid build-up due to inflammation.
At Iannuccilli Chiropractic we provide a comprehensive exam to identify sources of pressure on the nerve. Gentle wrist manipulations can help ease nerve pain if bones or connective tissue are irritating or putting pressure on the nerve. We may also recommend additional adjustments and therapies if pain persists or if you have misalignments anywhere else in your body.
