Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a very common condition we see at Frederick Chiropractic Wellness Center. It involves irritation or compression of the median nerve, which affects the thumb, index, and middle fingers. If you experience discomfort on the pinky side of your hand, it’s not carpal tunnel syndrome but may involve other nerves, specifically, the ulnar nerve.
The median nerve can get compressed anywhere along it’s path from the neck to the hand, so our holistic approach includes a thorough evaluation to determine where the pain is coming from.
CTS has become a catch-all diagnosis for hand numbness and tingling, but without a proper evaluation, important pieces of the puzzle are often missed. While some tests, like an EMG, can sometimes help locate areas of nerve damage, they rarely identify why the damage is occurring.
Typical treatments, such as anti-inflammatory medications, bracing, and surgery, do not address common “upstream” causes in the neck, shoulder, or elbow. Common medications prescribed for neuropathy often have significant adverse effects. For proper treatment, it’s essential to evaluate and treat the entire path of the nerve—from the spine down to the wrist.
At Frederick Chiropractic Wellness Center, we provide a comprehensive, non-drug and non-surgical approach to help you manage and relieve carpal tunnel symptoms safely and effectively.
Our approach focuses on understanding and addressing the root causes of your symptoms, not just managing pain. We offer the following treatments for CTS:
