Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
You may be suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a common condition caused by pressure on the median nerve, which travels from your neck through the shoulder, arm, and wrist into your hand. This nerve compression can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the fingers and hand.
At Optimal Level Chiropractic in Windermere, Dr. Del specializes in diagnosing and treating carpal tunnel syndrome using non-invasive, drug-free techniques that restore nerve flow, reduce inflammation, and support long-term function. If you’re looking for relief without surgery or medication, chiropractic care may be the solution.
Carpal tunnel develops when the tissues surrounding the median nerve inside the wrist become irritated, swollen, or compressed.
Several factors can contribute to this pressure:
Repetitive Motions
Typing, using a mouse, factory work, or any repeated hand movement
Poor Posture
Misalignment in the neck and shoulders can refer nerve tension to the wrist
Weightlifting or Heavy Lifting
Increases strain in the arms, neck, and shoulders
Pregnancy
Hormonal changes and fluid retention can compress nerves
Wrist Injuries
Fractures, dislocations, or scar tissue may narrow the carpal tunnel
Genetics
Some people inherit naturally smaller carpal tunnels, increasing their risk
If left unaddressed, carpal tunnel can worsen over time, limiting your grip
strength, coordination, and ability to perform even basic tasks.
