Carpal Tunnel Treatment in Bainbridge Island

Numbness, tingling or weakness in your hand can make typing, gripping and sleeping difficult. At Island Health & Chiropractic, we offer non-surgical care for carpal tunnel syndrome and related nerve pain.

What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage in the wrist made of bones and a ligament. The median nerve and several tendons run through it. When the tissues inside swell or the space narrows, the nerve gets squeezed.

• Repetitive hand and wrist motions, such as typing or using tools
• Awkward wrist positions held for long periods
• Swelling from pregnancy or fluid retention
• Wrist injuries or arthritis
• Nerve irritation higher up in the neck, elbow or shoulder

Common symptoms include numbness or tingling in the thumb, index and middle fingers, weak grip, dropping objects, and symptoms that wake you at night.

How Is Carpal Tunnel Treated?

We check the wrist, elbow, shoulder and neck to find every point where the nerve may be irritated. Care may include gentle adjustments to the wrist and spine, laser therapy to reduce inflammation, nerve-gliding exercises, and workstation changes. Many patients find relief without injections or surgery.
