Yes, many times there is a Subluxation (slight misalignment) of the Lunate Carpel bone. In this case, a simple painless Adjustment can restore normal motion and Alignment of this bone taking pressure off the Median Nerve that runs through the Carpel Tunnel. Also, class 4 Laser Therapy also is very effective in successfully treating Carpel Tunnel syndrome.
The chiropractor may be able to provide instructions on stretching exercises to relieve some of the pain from pressure. Using a simple wrist brace at night for a few weeks is often very helpful. Further treatment will require a medical doctor's expertise. Good luck,
Unlikely.
Yes a chiropractor can definitely help with carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel is when the median nerve is compressed in the wrist causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness of fingers and/or hand. There is no single cause of carpal tunnel but many people with carpal tunnel work or do activities that involve flexing the wrist repetitively or for prolonged periods of time. Chiropractors have plenty of training on muscles and nerves and typically have great results treating carpal tunnel. Treatment depends on examination
Yes. We can.
Yes - Fix the neck as that is mostly the source of the problem (which MD's miss)
In some cases yes. It depends on if it’s true carpal tunnel or double crush syndrome, Which comes from the neck a lot of times.

Yes. Our success is mostly due to a combination of chiropractic
adjustments and the use of a device call StimPod.

No, generally chiropractors are trained in non-surgical treatment of the conditions of the spine. Since carpal tunnel syndrome is not related in any way to the spine, it should not be treated by a chiropractor, even if they tell you that they can treat it for you.
