Carpal Tunnel

​

Relieve the Pressure. Restore Strength. Get Your Hands Back.

Dealing with numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hands? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common nerve conditions today—and it can quickly interfere with your work, sleep, and daily life.

The good news? There are natural, non-invasive solutions that address the root cause—not just the symptoms.

 

What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve—which runs from your neck through your arm into your hand—becomes compressed at the wrist.

This pressure can lead to:

• Numbness or tingling in the fingers 

• Burning or aching in the hand or forearm 

• Weak grip strength 

• Difficulty with fine motor tasks 

While the pain is felt in the wrist and hand, the problem often involves the entire nerve pathway, including the elbow, shoulder, and even the neck.

 

What Causes Carpal Tunnel?

Carpal tunnel develops when pressure builds on the median nerve. This can happen for several reasons:

• Repetitive motions (typing, lifting, tool use) 

• Poor posture affecting the neck and shoulders 

• Wrist injuries or inflammation 

• Tight or overworked forearm muscles 

• Pregnancy-related swelling and ligament changes 

• Structural factors (smaller carpal tunnel space) 

In many cases, it’s not just one cause—it’s a combination of stress along the entire nerve pathway.

 

Who Is Most at Risk?

We commonly see carpal tunnel in:

• Office workers and heavy computer users 

• Hairdressers, dental professionals, and manual laborers 

• Athletes and weightlifters 

• Pregnant and postpartum women 

• Parents performing repetitive lifting (often called “mommy wrist”) 

 

Why Early Care Matters

Carpal tunnel symptoms often start mild—but tend to worsen over time if left untreated.

Without proper care:

• Nerve irritation can increase 

• Grip strength can decline 

• Symptoms can become constant 

• Daily activities become more difficult 

Addressing the problem early can help prevent long-term nerve damage and speed up recovery.

 

How Chiropractic Care Helps

At Watts Wellness Chiropractic, we focus on reducing pressure on the nerve and restoring proper function.

Your care plan may include:

• Joint Adjustments (wrist, elbow, shoulder, and neck) to improve alignment 

• Soft Tissue Therapy to reduce tension in muscles and tendons 

• Nerve Mobility Techniques (nerve flossing) to improve nerve function 

• Corrective Exercises & Ergonomic Guidance to prevent recurrence 

Care is drug-free, non-invasive, and tailored specifically to your condition.

 

A Smarter Approach to Relief

We don’t just treat your wrist—we look at the entire system.

You can expect:

• A thorough evaluation to identify the true cause 

• A customized plan for both short-term relief and long-term correction 

• Strategies to prevent future flare-ups 

• Improved strength, mobility, and function 

 

Don’t Wait for It to Get Worse

Too many people wait until symptoms become severe before seeking care.

By then, recovery can take longer.

The earlier you address carpal tunnel, the better your outcome.
