Ever experience a numbing, stinging or tingling pain in your hands or wrist? If so, it could be carpel tunnel, a condition we help patients overcome with chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy.

Carpal tunnel occurs when the median nerve, which runs over the eight bones in your wrist, experiences compression. When this happens, patients notice symptoms like pain, numbness and weakness in the wrist, hands and fingers. Completing tasks like opening jars, changing light bulbs around the house, and even gripping a pen can be difficult.

Tips for Avoiding Carpal Tunnel

For individuals at high risk for developing carpal tunnel, including those who have jobs with repetitive motions like computer work, construction, cleaning and many others, it’s important to take certain precautions. We recommend taking short breaks frequently, keeping your wrist straight and increasing your intake of omega 3 fatty acids.

To decrease inflammation already occurring, try natural anti-inflammatories like turmeric and boswellia.
