Carpal Tunnel

Carpal Tunnel Pain?

Chiropractic Care Helps Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common conditions affecting the wrist and hand. Just like nerves can be pinched in your back from misaligned vertebrae, the bones in your wrist can compress the median nerve, leading to pain and dysfunction. While many people turn to costly surgery, chiropractic care offers a safe, non-invasive alternative that can deliver lasting results.

Here at Cypress Chiropractic and Wellness in Winter Haven, our chiropractors have successfully helped patients manage and relieve carpal tunnel symptoms through precise adjustments to the wrist and spine.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve—which runs from your forearm through your wrist into your hand—becomes compressed. This compression leads to:

  • Burning or tingling sensations in the thumb, index, middle, or ring finger
  • Pain that radiates through the wrist or hand
  • Numbness or weakness that makes it difficult to grip or pick up small objects
  • A feeling of swelling in the hand, even when no swelling is present
Carpal tunnel can develop in either hand, though it is most common in the dominant hand. It also occurs nearly three times more often in women due to the smaller size of the carpal tunnel space.

What Causes Carpal Tunnel?

While the exact cause isn’t always clear, several risk factors contribute to its development:

  • Repetitive hand or wrist movements, such as typing or assembly work
  • Occupational stress, including jobs involving vibrating tools or equipment
  • Wrist injuries that create inflammation or misalignment
  • Hormonal or metabolic conditions, such as thyroid or pituitary disorders
  • Spinal misalignments, which may irritate nerves and contribute to bilateral carpal tunnel
Because many cases are linked to underlying nerve irritation in the spine, treatments that only address the wrist often fail to deliver lasting relief. This explains why up to 40% of carpal tunnel surgeries are unsuccessful long term.

Why Choose Chiropractic for Carpal Tunnel in Winter Haven?

Surgical carpal tunnel procedures can cost between $6,000 and $11,000—and studies show they fully resolve symptoms in less than 60% of cases. By comparison, chiropractic care provides a conservative, affordable, and non-invasive approach that addresses both the wrist and spine to correct the true source of nerve irritation. At Cypress Chiropractic and Wellness, our chiropractors will:

  1. Perform a full evaluation of your wrist, hand, and spine.
  2. Identify whether spinal misalignments or wrist joint issues are contributing to the problem.
  3. Develop a personalized treatment plan that may include spinal adjustments, wrist adjustments, and soft tissue therapy.
This approach helps restore proper nerve function and often leads to substantial symptom relief without the risks of surgery or reliance on medications.

Your Treatment Options

Treatment for carpal tunnel depends on the underlying cause, but chiropractic care often provides excellent results. At Cypress Chiropractic and Wellness, treatment may include:

By addressing the root cause rather than just the symptoms, our patients frequently experience lasting improvements in comfort, strength, and mobility.
