Chiropractic Care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Falls Church, VA
Support for Numbness, Tingling, and Hand Discomfort
Carpal tunnel syndrome brings numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and wrist that can disrupt sleep and everyday tasks alike. Palmercare Chiropractic Fairfax offers supportive care built around addressing contributing factors like posture and nerve irritation.
We look beyond the wrist to the neck, shoulder, and posture, since nerve irritation along this pathway can play a real role in carpal tunnel symptoms.
Understanding Chiropractic Care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve, running from the forearm into the hand, becomes compressed at the wrist. That compression can cause numbness, tingling, and weakness, especially in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
At Palmercare Chiropractic Fairfax, Dr. Anna Choi evaluates posture, spinal alignment, and nerve function along the entire arm to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.
This kind of care tends to help patients experiencing:
- Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, or middle fingers
- Wrist pain associated with repetitive tasks
- Hand weakness or difficulty gripping objects
- Symptoms that worsen at night or with wrist bending
- Carpal tunnel symptoms connected to neck or shoulder tension
- A preference for a conservative, non-surgical approach
Every plan is built around your specific symptoms and daily activities.
How We Help Fairfax Patients with Carpal Tunnel Symptoms
Our care looks at the full nerve pathway, from the neck through the wrist, rather than the wrist in isolation.
Full Health Assessment
We evaluate your symptoms, health history, posture, and nerve function to understand what may be contributing to your carpal tunnel symptoms.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Adjustments to the neck and upper spine may help improve nerve function along the pathway that affects the wrist and hand. ArthroStim therapy is available for patients who’d prefer a gentler, instrument-based approach.
Posture and Ergonomic Guidance
Poor posture and repetitive wrist motion are common contributors to carpal tunnel symptoms. We provide guidance to help reduce this strain.
A Coordinated Approach
We work within a conservative scope of care and can coordinate with your physician when appropriate.
