Finding Relief from Carpal Tunnel
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common work-related conditions affecting millions of people each year. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes compressed at the wrist. This compression leads to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist—often impacting job performance and quality of life.
Occupational Risks for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Certain occupations pose a higher risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome due to repetitive motions and sustained wrist positions. Some of the most at-risk professions include:
-
Office Workers & Typists: Prolonged keyboard use and improper wrist posture are primary contributors.
-
Assembly Line Workers: Repetitive hand and wrist movements increase nerve compression risk.
-
Construction Workers: Heavy tool usage, especially vibrating tools, can trigger CTS symptoms.
-
Healthcare Professionals: Frequent hand movements, especially in fields like dentistry and surgery, can strain the wrist.
-
Cashiers & Retail Workers: Repetitive scanning and handling of items can lead to nerve irritation.
Additional Risk Factors:
-
Prolonged computer use without ergonomic support.
-
Medical conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or thyroid imbalances.
-
Previous wrist injuries or fractures.
Symptoms to Watch For:
-
Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger.
-
Weakness in hand grip or difficulty holding objects.
-
Pain that worsens at night or after repetitive tasks.
Early detection and treatment are key to preventing long-term nerve damage.
Effective Relief & Treatment Options
At Elevation Health Center, we offer non-invasive, drug-free therapies that help alleviate carpal tunnel symptoms and promote long-term wrist health.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle chiropractic adjustments to the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and cervical spine help relieve pressure on the median nerve, which is often the root cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. By improving joint alignment and mobility, these adjustments reduce inflammation, restore nerve function, and promote natural healing—without the need for surgery or medication. Regular chiropractic care can significantly improve hand strength, flexibility, and overall wrist comfort.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Our targeted soft tissue therapies—such as Myofascial Release and Active Release Technique (ART)—focus on breaking down scar tissue and adhesions that can trap the median nerve. These techniques help reduce inflammation, restore normal muscle and tendon function, and relieve tension in the wrist and forearm. By improving soft tissue mobility, this therapy promotes faster healing and long-term relief from carpal tunnel symptoms.
Class IV Laser Therapy
Our advanced Class IV Laser Therapy penetrates deep into the tissues to reduce inflammation, boost circulation, and stimulate cellular repair. This non-invasive treatment delivers fast, effective pain relief while enhancing nerve function and tissue regeneration. Many patients experience noticeable improvement in wrist mobility and comfort after just a few sessions, making it a powerful tool in overcoming carpal tunnel syndrome naturally.
PEMF & Red Light Therapy
Our PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) and Red Light Therapy treatments work at the cellular level to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation. These innovative therapies help decrease swelling, enhance blood flow, and restore damaged tissue, making them especially effective for relieving carpal tunnel symptoms. When combined, they promote faster recovery, improve nerve conductivity, and support long-term wrist health—without downtime or side effects.
Ergonomic Guidance
Proper ergonomics play a critical role in both the prevention and recovery of carpal tunnel syndrome. At Elevation Health Center, we provide personalized ergonomic assessments and recommendations tailored to your work environment. Whether you’re at a desk, on an assembly line, or handling tools, our team helps you adjust your posture, wrist position, and equipment setup to minimize repetitive strain and reduce nerve compression—ensuring long-term relief and better performance.
