What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. It occurs when one of the major nerves to the hand - the median nerve - is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist. It is usually caused by repetitive strain or poor positioning.

The treatment we use for this condition is most often in the form of chiropractic adjustments, medical massage/ trigger point therapy, and deep tissue laser therapy. This condition generally takes 4-6 weeks to resolve when proper treatment and self-care are followed.
