What helps carpal tunnel heal faster?

Chiropractic care, including adjustments, manual therapy, and stretching and strengthening exercises, may relieve carpal tunnel pain and support the healing process. We offer personalized treatment plans based on each patient’s condition and needs. We may also recommend: Rest and Immobilization Cold Therapy Avoid Triggering Activities Stress Reduction Chiropractic care focuses on the structural issues causing the condition and optimizes the nervous system to improve healing.

Is ice or heat better for carpal tunnel syndrome?

When choosing between heat and ice for carpal tunnel syndrome, we recommend cold therapy (ice or cold packs) rather than heat. Cold therapy can help reduce inflammation and provide pain relief, while heat can worsen inflammation and increase swelling, exacerbating symptoms.

How do I stop my hands from going numb when I sleep?

Adjust your sleeping position to reduce pressure on your wrists and hands. Try to avoid sleeping with your wrists bent or flexed excessively. Keep your wrists in a neutral position by sleeping with your hands straight or using a wrist splint or brace to maintain proper alignment. Incorporating gentle hand and wrist stretches into your daily routine, especially before bedtime, can help improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, and alleviate symptoms.

Can carpal tunnel syndrome heal without surgery?

Yes! Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive approach to carpal tunnel relief. Surgery should always be the last option. We can create a unique plan for each patient using chiropractic adjustments, manual therapy, and custom exercise routines to help alleviate carpal tunnel pain and prevent future flare-ups. The longer it takes to address carpal tunnel, the harder it becomes to fix the problem. That’s why it’s critical to address issues as soon as possible.

What causes carpal tunnel to flare up?

Increased pressure on the median nerve leads to a worsening of symptoms. Repetitive hand or wrist movements, forceful actions, poor ergonomics and bad posture, or poor sleeping position can all lead to increased nerve irritation and trigger carpal tunnel symptoms.

  I fell on the ice. They got me in right away and also scheduled me for a follow up the next day. Now, I hit that ground hard when I fell, but I am still amazed at the speed and quality of my recovery after their careful care, evaluation and guidance.

  I have been seeing Dr.Kelli for 11 years. Great help in alleviating pain and setting my back and neck straight. I see her monthly as part of my wellness routine, but I started with her due to back pain in late pregnancy. She has been absolutely wonderful over all these years!
