Carpal Tunnel Care in Edmonton
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and wrist, making daily tasks difficult. This common nerve condition occurs due to compression of the median nerve in the wrist. It often results from repetitive hand movements, wrist injuries, or conditions like diabetes and arthritis. People who perform repetitive tasks, such as typing or assembly line work, are at higher risk.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care for CTS
Our natural care can be highly effective in addressing this condition. Here are some ways:
- Improves Joint Mobility and Alignment: Misalignments in the spine and joints, especially in the neck and shoulders, can cause poor posture and stress on the nerves in your arm. Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore proper alignment, reducing pressure on the median nerve and alleviating CTS symptoms.
- Reduces Nerve Irritation: Spinal misalignments can irritate nerves, including the median nerve. Chiropractic adjustments improve nerve function, potentially reducing pain, numbness, and tingling associated with this condition.
- Enhances Circulation and Healing: Proper joint alignment promotes better blood flow, delivering nutrients and oxygen to the wrist. This can accelerate healing and reduce inflammation that contributes to CTS.
- Improves Posture and Ergonomics: Chiropractic care can help identify and address postural imbalances that contribute to this nerve condition. Our chiropractors can provide guidance on ergonomic practices to further reduce stress on your wrists and hands.
- Manages Pain Naturally: Chiropractic care offers a drug-free approach to managing pain associated with CTS. This can be particularly beneficial if you want to avoid the potential side effects of pain medication.
