That numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hands isn’t something you have to live with. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve—which runs from your forearm into your palm—becomes compressed at the wrist.
While often linked to repetitive tasks like typing or assembly work, CTS can affect anyone. The good news? You have safe, effective, and non-surgical options for relief.
Are You Experiencing These Symptoms?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome often starts gradually and may include:
Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, or ring fingers
Pain or burning that travels up the forearm
Weakness in the hand, causing you to drop objects
Night-time discomfort that can wake you from sleep
Stiffness or swelling in the fingers, especially in the morning
The Surprising Link Between Your Neck and Carpal Tunnel Symptoms
Many people don’t realize that what feels like carpal tunnel syndrome can actually be referred pain or nerve irritation originating in the neck.
When the vertebrae in your lower neck are misaligned, they can:
Compress or irritate the nerve roots that feed into the median nerve
Mimic or worsen carpal tunnel symptoms
Reduce blood flow and nerve function in the arms and hands
That’s why an evaluation of your spine and posture is essential for lasting relief.
