How Herndon Chiropractic Treats Your Carpal tunnel
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that results from pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This can be caused by repetitive motions, poor ergonomic setups, prolonged keyboard use, or inflammation due to injury or chronic conditions. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, burning sensations, and weakness, particularly in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
How Herndon Chiropractic’s Chiropractic Treatment Works
Chiropractic care provides a non-invasive solution that addresses the root cause of nerve compression. Adjustments to the wrist, elbow, and even upper spine can restore alignment, reduce inflammation, and relieve pressure on the nerve. Soft tissue therapy and stretching further help reduce tension in the surrounding muscles.

Chiropractic care not only reduces symptoms but also targets the root cause to promote long-term healing.
Many patients with CTS also benefit from ergonomic evaluations and posture training. Our chiropractors will guide you on how to modify your workspace and daily habits to prevent symptom recurrence. This comprehensive, hands-on approach often leads to long-term relief and increased function without the need for surgery.
