WRIST & HAND
Relief for Your Wrists & Hands
Your wrists and hands are essential to everything you do—from typing and texting to lifting, writing, and gripping. When pain, numbness, or weakness interferes with your ability to use your hands, it impacts every part of your life. At our clinic, we provide safe, non-invasive chiropractic care to treat common wrist and hand conditions by focusing on joint alignment, nerve function, and soft tissue balance. Our goal is to restore comfort and function—without the need for medication or surgery.
Understanding Hand & Wrist Pain
Many wrist and hand problems are caused by repetitive movements, poor posture, or nerve compression higher up in the arm or neck. Chiropractors are uniquely trained to evaluate and treat both local symptoms and underlying biomechanical issues—helping you get to the root of the pain.
Unlike approaches that simply treat symptoms, our chiropractic methods promote long-term healing by restoring proper alignment and improving overall nerve and joint function.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common nerve entrapment syndromes. It occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and pain in the thumb, index, and middle fingers—often worse at night or after repetitive use.
Our chiropractic care for CTS focuses on:
- Relieving pressure on the median nerve through wrist adjustments
- Addressing contributing factors in the neck, shoulder, and forearm
- Releasing tight muscles and fascia with soft tissue therapy
- Educating on ergonomics and stretches to prevent flare-ups
Chiropractic treatment offers an effective, non-surgical alternative for many patients with carpal tunnel symptoms.
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
This condition causes pain on the thumb side of the wrist and is often associated with repetitive thumb motion—such as texting, lifting, or using a mouse. De Quervain’s tenosynovitis results from inflammation in the tendons that control thumb movement.
Chiropractic care helps by:
- Reducing inflammation through manual therapies
- Improving wrist biomechanics to reduce strain
- Recommending splints or ergonomic modifications
- Supporting long-term healing through corrective exercises
Strains, Sprains, and Pain
Strains, sprains, and pain can also happen in the wrists and hands. For strains and sprains, soft issue therapy can help promote tendon healing. Our therapies can help improve mobility, reduce pain, and promote healing
