Chiropractic Care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Woodbridge, VA
Calm the Tingling, Numbness, and Aching in Your Hands
Waking up with numb fingers or dropping things because your grip is weak can signal carpal tunnel syndrome. Palmercare Chiropractic Woodbridge offers conservative care aimed at easing pressure and improving function.
Dr. Eric Meyer and Dr. Todd Redfearn also check the neck and shoulder, because nerve irritation can occur at more than one point along the arm.
Understanding Chiropractic Care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage in the wrist where the median nerve travels. When the space gets crowded, the nerve can become irritated, causing tingling, numbness, and pain in the thumb and first fingers.
A careful exam helps us find contributing factors and decide whether chiropractic care is appropriate. We refer when nerve testing or medical care is needed.
Carpal tunnel often brings:
- Tingling in the thumb and fingers
- Numbness at night
- Weak grip
- Dropping objects
- Aching in the wrist or forearm
- Symptoms that ease when you shake your hand
Early attention often leads to better options.
How We Help Woodbridge Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

A Thorough Evaluation
We test wrist and hand function, grip strength, and nerve response, and we check the neck and shoulder for other points of nerve irritation.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle adjustments to the wrist, elbow, and neck can improve motion and reduce tension in tissues around the nerve.
ArthroStim Therapy
ArthroStim’s gentle, precise adjustment offers a comfortable approach for sensitive joints in the wrist and hand.
Ergonomic and Activity Guidance
We recommend workstation changes, wrist positions, and gentle nerve and tendon glides that help reduce symptoms.
