Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition affecting the hand and wrist, often caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Chiropractors play a vital role in managing CTS, providing non-invasive and holistic approaches to alleviate symptoms. Chiropractic care for CTS may involve adjustments to the affected joints, especially in the wrist and spine, to enhance nerve function and reduce pressure on the median nerve. Additionally, chiropractors may recommend specific exercises to improve wrist strength and flexibility, along with ergonomic adjustments to prevent further strain. By addressing the underlying issues contributing to CTS, chiropractic care aims to offer relief and improve overall hand and wrist function.
