Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Mequon
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that affects the hands, wrists, and forearms. It can cause pain, tingling, and weakness that make daily activities uncomfortable or difficult. At ProHealth Chiropractic Center, we provide gentle, effective care to help relieve symptoms and improve function so you can return to normal activities with comfort and confidence.
Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The carpal tunnel is a small passageway in your wrist that protects the median nerve. When this space becomes narrowed or inflamed, it puts pressure on the nerve, leading to pain or numbness in the hand and fingers. Early detection and treatment are important to prevent permanent nerve damage and avoid the need for surgery.
Common Symptoms
- Tingling or numbness in the hands or fingers, especially at night
- A feeling of swelling in the fingers, even when they appear normal
- Weakness or clumsiness when gripping objects
- Pain or burning that moves from the wrist into the forearm or shoulder
- Discomfort that interrupts sleep or daily activities
Symptoms can appear even when your hands are at rest and often worsen over time if left untreated.
Risk Factors
- Repetitive wrist or hand movements
- Certain occupations involving computers, tools, or assembly work
- Previous wrist injuries or arthritis
- Hormonal changes or fluid retention
- Family history of nerve compression conditions
Our chiropractors will evaluate your symptoms and review your risk factors to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At ProHealth Chiropractic Center, we use a combination of gentle wrist, elbow, and spinal adjustments along with therapeutic exercises and soft tissue therapy to reduce nerve pressure and restore normal motion. Supportive treatments such as ultrasound therapy, stretching, and ergonomic guidance may also be included to relieve tension and prevent recurrence.
By improving alignment and reducing inflammation, chiropractic care can relieve pain, increase hand strength, and help you regain mobility naturally without relying on medication or surgery.
