The Official Sports Injury and Recovery Partner of the Philippine Olympic Committee
Have you ever experienced numbness, tingling, or a ‘pins and needles’ sensation, especially in your thumb, middle, or ring finger? If you do, you might be experiencing the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). This condition occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand through the wrist’s carpal tunnel, gets compressed. That compression can be caused by swelling, inflammation, or repetitive movements—and sometimes, underlying health conditions. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can significantly impact daily activities, making it difficult to grip objects, type, or perform routine tasks.
At Intercare, we offer a non-invasive, holistic approach to managing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome through chiropractic care and laser therapy. Here’s how these treatments can help relieve your symptoms and restore proper hand function.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Aligning the Wrist and Spine for Nerve Relief with Spinal Adjustments
Nerve compression can occur at multiple points along the arm. Misalignments in the musculoskeletal system—like in the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and cervical spine—can contribute to median nerve compression. Cervical spine manipulation also plays a crucial role in alleviating neck pain and improving spinal alignment. Chiropractic adjustments offer a non-invasive, gentle, and targeted approach to correcting misalignments in the wrist, relieving pressure from the carpal tunnel and surrounding nerves, improving mobility, and reducing discomfort.
Reducing Inflammation and Restoring Function
Chiropractic treatments focus on manual adjustments, mobilization techniques, and soft tissue therapy. They help improve blood circulation, reducing inflammation and minimizing swelling in the wrist. By addressing underlying musculoskeletal imbalances, chiropractic care can restore proper function and alleviate chronic pain associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Correcting Posture and Ergonomics
Poor posture, frequent repetitive tasks, and other strenuous activities can contribute to nerve compression and wrist pain. Chiropractors assess your posture and provide guidance on proper ergonomics to prevent further strain on your wrists and hands.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Promoting Healing at a Cellular Level
Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to stimulate cellular healing and repair. It reduces inflammation in the wrist, enhancing blood circulation and promoting tissue regeneration.
Reducing Pain and Nerve Irritation
Laser therapy helps modulate pain signals and improve nerve function by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the affected area. This non-invasive treatment offers a gentle yet effective way to manage carpal tunnel symptoms without the need for medication or surgery.
Enhancing Range of Motion and Strength
Laser therapy complements chiropractic adjustments in restoring normal wrist movement. After a series of treatments, patients often experience improved grip strength, reduced stiffness, and enhanced overall hand function.
Personalized Rehabilitation and Preventive Care
Intercare’s holistic approach to improving Carpal Tunnel Syndrome symptoms includes personalized rehabilitation exercises and preventative care measures to prevent recurrence. Our chiropractors design a systematic treatment plan to strengthen the wrist muscles, improve flexibility, and seamlessly integrate into your daily routine.
Conclusion
If you’re experiencing discomfort or symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, don’t wait until it worsens. It’s always best to get checked and assessed by healthcare professionals who can help you understand your condition and provide effective treatment options. Chiropractic care and laser therapy offer a safe, natural, and effective solution to relieve pain, restore function, and prevent future complications.
