Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) often develops gradually from repetitive hand motions like typing, texting, or assembly work. Over time, these repeated stresses can irritate the wrist’s nerve pathways. Common symptoms include:
Many people don’t realize the root problem may not be in the wrist itself. Dysfunction in the neck, shoulder, elbow, or forearm joints can alter nerve signals and contribute to CTS-like symptoms.
At A Touch Above Chiropractic, we combine localized and systemic care to address both symptoms and underlying causes:
By treating both the affected wrist area and supporting structures upstream, we aim for longer-lasting relief, not just symptom masking.
A splint or brace can ease pressure temporarily, but it doesn’t correct the underlying joint or nerve dysfunction. We often use bracing as a complementary tool while true corrective work is underway.
Every case is unique. Some people feel relief within a few sessions; others may need several weeks of consistent care to restore full function.
Surgery changes how tissues and nerves behave, which can make chiropractic care more challenging. Nevertheless, chiropractic may still help in certain cases. We always proceed with caution and integrity, aiming to support your recovery where possible.
