Carpal Tunnel Treatment in Los Angeles
Relieve Hand Numbness, Tingling, and Weakness
Carpal tunnel treatment in Los Angeles at Faye Chiropractic looks at the entire path of the median nerve, not only the wrist. Irritation in the neck or shoulder can make the nerve more sensitive at the wrist, so we evaluate every point that may be contributing.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed as it passes through the wrist, often causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand.
In some patients, the median nerve may also be irritated or mechanically stressed higher along its course, particularly in the neck or shoulder region. This is known as double crush syndrome, where irritation of the nerve at one location may increase its sensitivity to compression at another. Repetitive hand and wrist activities can further aggravate symptoms.
A thorough examination helps determine whether symptoms are arising solely from the wrist or whether joint dysfunction and mechanical irritation elsewhere along the nerve may also be contributing.
Hand and Wrist Symptoms to Watch For:
Numbness or tingling in your thumb, index, and middle fingers comes and goes
Hand symptoms wake you at night, and you shake your hand to relieve them
Your grip feels weaker, making jars, buttons, or tools harder to handle
Typing, mouse work, or repetitive tools make wrist pain and tingling worse
Neck or shoulder stiffness seems to accompany the numbness in your hand
Wrist splints, rest, or breaks from work have only helped temporarily, if at all
Freeing the Median Nerve: How Care Helps
When a nerve is irritated in more than one place, treating only the wrist may leave part of the problem untouched. Addressing joint dysfunction along the nerve’s path can help reduce mechanical stress and ease symptoms in the hand.
Evaluation of the neck, shoulder, elbow, and wrist for double crush syndrome
Adjustments to restore motion in restricted joints along the median nerve’s path
Soft tissue therapy to ease tension in the forearm, shoulder, and neck
Guidance on repetitive tasks and workstation habits that may aggravate your wrist symptoms
