Carpal tunnel syndrome involves irritation of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist, often causing numbness, tingling, or discomfort in the hand and fingers. Contributing factors may include repetitive hand use, wrist positioning, and nerve tension patterns involving the arm, shoulder, or neck.

Chiropractic care may support carpal tunnel symptoms by addressing movement and tension along the nerve pathway, including the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and cervical spine. Care is conservative and focused on improving overall function and reducing mechanical stress.
