Carpal Tunnel Relief | Isleworth Pain and Injury

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

If you're experiencing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands, wrists, or fingers, you may be dealing with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). This condition affects the median nerve in the wrist and can make even simple tasks like typing, lifting, or holding objects difficult. At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we provide targeted treatments to help alleviate your symptoms and restore function to your hands and wrists.

What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and What Causes It?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm to the palm of the hand, becomes compressed at the wrist. This pressure on the nerve can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including:

Numbness or tingling in the fingers (especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers)
Pain or discomfort in the wrist, hand, or forearm
Weakness in the hand, making it difficult to grip objects
A burning or aching sensation in the fingers or hand, particularly at night

Common causes of CTS include:

Repetitive hand movements (e.g., typing, using a mouse, assembly line work)
Poor wrist posture while working or sleeping
Injury to the wrist or hand
Pregnancy or health conditions like diabetes or arthritis, which can increase the risk of developing CTS

How We Help with Chiropractic Care and Physiotherapy

At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we take a holistic approach to treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. By combining chiropractic care and physiotherapy, we can help reduce the pressure on your median nerve, relieve pain, and restore function to your wrist and hand.

Chiropractic care focuses on realigning the bones and joints in the wrist, hand, and neck, helping to improve nerve function and reduce the pressure on the carpal tunnel. Chiropractic adjustments also address any misalignments in the spine and upper body that might contribute to CTS.

Physiotherapy is key in strengthening the muscles around the wrist and forearm to improve wrist function and reduce strain. We will guide you through specific exercises to relieve pressure on the nerve, improve flexibility, and prevent the condition from recurring.

Together, they provide a comprehensive treatment plan that:

Reduces nerve compression in the wrist and hand
Restores proper function in the wrist and fingers
Strengthens and supports the muscles around the carpal tunnel
Improves mobility and flexibility, which can alleviate pain and prevent future issues

By addressing both the mechanical and muscular aspects of CTS, chiropractic care and physiotherapy work hand-in-hand to promote healing and prevent future flare-ups.
