Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affects approximately 3-6% of adults in the United States, making it one of the most common nerve compression disorders. The condition occurs when the median nerve, which runs through a narrow passageway in your wrist called the carpal tunnel, becomes compressed or irritated. This compression happens when surrounding tissues swell, bones shift position, or repetitive movements create inflammation within this confined space.
What many people don't realize is that carpal tunnel often has connections to upper cervical spine alignment and nerve pathway dysfunction that extends well beyond the wrist itself. While the compression occurs locally at the wrist, contributing factors frequently involve posture, neck positioning, and biomechanical stress patterns throughout the entire upper body. Addressing only the wrist symptoms without considering these broader factors explains why many traditional treatments provide only temporary relief.
Our noninvasive, medication-free approach targets both the local compression at the wrist and the systemic factors that contribute to nerve dysfunction. Contact us to learn how comprehensive treatment can provide the lasting relief you deserve.
Common Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Repetitive Hand Motions
Repeated wrist movements, especially those involving forceful gripping or awkward positioning, create cumulative stress on the median nerve and surrounding tissues within the carpal tunnel.
Poor Workplace Ergonomics
Improper desk height, keyboard placement, and mouse positioning force your wrists into extended or flexed positions for hours daily, gradually increasing pressure within the carpal tunnel.
Cervical Spine Misalignment
Nerve roots in your neck that eventually form the median nerve can become compressed or irritated due to cervical vertebrae misalignment, contributing to symptoms throughout the nerve pathway.
Inflammatory Conditions
Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or tendinitis cause tissue swelling that reduces available space within the carpal tunnel, compressing the median nerve.
Pregnancy and Hormonal Changes
Fluid retention and hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy often cause tissue swelling that temporarily narrows the carpal tunnel space.
Common Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Symptoms can vary in type and severity. Some of the symptoms that benefit from an evaluation at Chiromed Wellness Centers include:
Tingling or numbness in thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers
Nighttime hand pain or numbness that disrupts sleep
Weakness in grip strength
Dropping objects unexpectedly
Burning sensation in fingers
Pain radiating up the forearm
Difficulty with fine motor tasks
Hand clumsiness or coordination problems
How We Effectively Treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Lakeland
Our treatment approach addresses both the immediate nerve compression and the underlying biomechanical factors contributing to your symptoms.
Neuromed Therapy
Neuromed therapy utilizes specialized technology to reduce nerve inflammation and promote healing of compressed neural tissue. This advanced treatment improves nerve signal transmission and reduces the hypersensitivity that causes many carpal tunnel symptoms. Patients typically experience decreased tingling and numbness as nerve function normalizes.
Disc and Nerve Rehabilitation
This comprehensive treatment protocol addresses cervical spine dysfunction that often contributes to median nerve compression. Through targeted therapies, we restore proper biomechanics in your neck and upper spine, reducing nerve pathway irritation from your cervical roots through your wrist. Many patients discover their wrist symptoms improve significantly when we address upper spine dysfunction.
Spinal Decompression
Gentle spinal decompression therapy relieves pressure on cervical nerve roots that form the median nerve. This noninvasive treatment creates negative pressure within spinal discs, promoting nutrient flow and reducing inflammation along the entire nerve pathway. Decompression helps restore optimal nerve function throughout your upper extremity.
Post‒Surgical Recovery
For patients who've undergone carpal tunnel surgery but continue experiencing symptoms or functional limitations, our rehabilitation protocols support complete recovery. We address scar tissue formation, restore wrist mobility, and strengthen supporting musculature to optimize surgical outcomes and prevent symptom recurrence.

How long does carpal tunnel treatment take?
Treatment duration varies based on symptom severity and underlying causes. Many patients experience noticeable improvement within the first few weeks, while complete resolution typically requires several weeks of consistent care.
Can carpal tunnel be treated without surgery?
Absolutely. Conservative treatment successfully resolves carpal tunnel symptoms for many patients, especially when addressed early. Our noninvasive approach targets nerve compression and biomechanical dysfunction effectively.
Will carpal tunnel symptoms return after treatment?
When we address underlying causes like cervical spine alignment, workplace ergonomics, and biomechanical dysfunction, recurrence risk decreases significantly. We provide education and strategies to maintain your results.
Does insurance cover carpal tunnel treatment?
