Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Charlotte
Experiencing tingling fingers, wrist pain, or hand numbness during daily tasks? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common issue, especially for those who type, click, or use their hands repeatedly throughout the day. If that dull ache or sharp jolt is left unaddressed, it can affect your grip strength, sleep, and ability to work.
What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway in your wrist where nerves pass through. If that space becomes compressed, nerves become irritated, often showing up as burning, tingling, or weakness in the hand. It’s often caused by repetitive hand movements or improper ergonomics, especially in dentists, hairstylists, and office workers.
Finding the Root Cause
While the symptoms may show up in your wrist, the source of the problem often starts elsewhere. Many patients we see have issues stemming from their neck, shoulder, or elbow. That’s why our evaluation goes beyond just the wrist. We check your full kinetic chain to identify misalignments and nerve interference that may be mimicking or contributing to carpal tunnel symptoms.
Chiropractic adjustments using the Activator® Method allow us to make gentle, precise corrections—not only at the wrist, but at all the key joints along the arm and spine that impact nerve flow.
Tips to Support Healing at Home
- Adjust your mouse and keyboard so your arms stay relaxed and level
- Take brief stretch breaks at least twice an hour
- Avoid repetitive movements when symptoms flare
- These small changes can reduce pressure and improve mobility as your body heals
