About Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. It causes numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger. The condition affects approximately 3 to 6 percent of the general population and is particularly common among office workers, tradespeople, and anyone performing repetitive hand and wrist movements.

While carpal tunnel is often thought of as solely a wrist problem, chiropractic research has identified that nerve compression can also occur at the cervical spine, shoulder, or elbow — a concept known as double crush syndrome. This is why a chiropractor will assess the entire path of the median nerve from the cervical spine to the wrist. Treatment may include wrist joint mobilisation, carpal bone adjustments, myofascial release of the forearm muscles, cervical spine adjustments to address any upper-level nerve compression, and nerve gliding exercises. Research in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic care combining wrist and spinal manipulation was effective in reducing carpal tunnel symptoms.

Your chiropractor will also provide ergonomic advice for your workstation, recommend appropriate splinting for night use, and suggest modifications to repetitive activities that may be exacerbating the condition. Conservative management including chiropractic care is recommended as a first-line treatment before considering corticosteroid injections or surgical release.

Carpal Tunnel FAQs

Can a chiropractor help with carpal tunnel syndrome?

Yes. Chiropractors can effectively treat carpal tunnel syndrome using wrist mobilisation, soft-tissue therapy, and nerve gliding exercises. They also assess the cervical spine and shoulder for additional sites of nerve compression that may be contributing to your symptoms.

Do I need surgery for carpal tunnel or can a chiropractor help?

Conservative treatment including chiropractic care is recommended as a first-line approach for carpal tunnel syndrome. Many patients find significant relief without surgery. If conservative care does not provide adequate improvement after an appropriate trial period, your chiropractor will refer you for surgical consultation.

What is double crush syndrome?

Double crush syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed at two or more sites along its path, such as at the wrist and at the cervical spine. This is why chiropractors assess and treat the entire nerve pathway, not just the wrist, to achieve optimal results for carpal tunnel syndrome.
