Wrist Pain Management in Florida

Carpal Tunnel

Chiropractic care can be an effective, non-invasive option for managing and alleviating symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. At Coastal Healthcare Partners we use various techniques to address the underlying causes of this condition.

Coastal Healthcare Partners Approaches for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

We may perform gentle adjustments to the wrist, hand, and fingers to improve alignment, reduce nerve compression, and restore proper joint function.

Sometimes, nerve irritation stemming from the cervical spine (neck area) can contribute to or mimic carpal tunnel symptoms. At Coastal Healthcare Partners we may adjust the cervical spine to alleviate this pressure and improve overall nerve function.

Techniques such as myofascial release or massage can help reduce inflammation, release tight muscles, and improve blood flow to the affected area.

Specific stretches and exercises to improve flexibility and strengthen the muscles around the wrist, hand, and forearm.

Identifying and addressing repetitive motions, poor posture, or ergonomics at work can reduce stress on the wrist and prevent further aggravation of symptoms.

Application of cold packs can reduce inflammation, while heat therapy can improve blood flow and promote healing in the affected area.

At Coastal Healthcare Partners we may use modalities like therapeutic ultrasound or low-level laser therapy to reduce inflammation and stimulate tissue repair.
