Carpal Tunnel Relief

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into the palm of your hand, becomes compressed as it passes through a natural passage in your wrist called the carpal tunnel. This can lead to symptoms including numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Common contributors to carpal tunnel syndrome include wear and inflammation from repetitive hand movements, poor wrist positioning, and underlying health conditions such as diabetes or arthritis. Additionally, pregnancy and obesity can increase the risk of developing this condition.

At Universal Chiropractic Health in Fishkill, New York, we take a comprehensive approach to treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Dr. Bushée will conduct a thorough evaluation to identify any factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate pressure on the median nerve by realigning the wrist. This can help reduce inflammation and promote better circulation in the affected area. In addition to spinal adjustments, we utilize therapeutic techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve flexibility. Soft tissue therapy, including electric muscle stimulation and therapeutic stretches, can help relieve tightness in the forearm muscles, further reducing pressure on the median nerve. We also provide guidance on ergonomic adjustments to your workspace, ensuring that your wrist and hand positioning are optimal to prevent further strain.

Chiropractic care offers numerous benefits for those suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. One of the primary advantages is the focus on non-invasive treatment options. By treating the underlying causes of your symptoms, we aim to provide long-lasting relief without the need for medications or surgery. Chiropractic treatments can also improve your overall well-being. By improving joint function and reducing inflammation, you may be able to move more comfortably. Additionally, our holistic approach emphasizes the importance of lifestyle modifications, empowering you to take an active role in your recovery.
