Carpal Tunnel in Ashtabula, OH

The chiropractors at French Chiropractic and Wellness Center have diligently and happily served Ashtabula and surrounding counties. The team of specialists have experience with various issues, including carpal tunnel syndrome and other chiropractic symptoms.

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

The rise of the carpal tunnel syndrome is usually associated with trades that require sustained and repetitive hand movements, such as typing. It is becoming a common problem with many people and is associated with symptoms like numbness and tingling in the hands. The reason this happens is because of the nerve that runs through the fingers and wrists. The position of the hand and constant movement of the fingers creates a hostile environment for the nerve. This could lead to a pinched or compressed nerve, leading to carpal tunnel.

What are the Symptoms of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome?

Every patient reacts to the syndrome a little differently, but that does not mean there are no commonalities. The following are a few symptoms usually associated with this problem:

  • There might be numbness or tingling of the thumbs or fingers
  • Certain items might be difficult to carry
  • Moving fingers may be painful
  • Coordination and dexterity might be impaired
  • Pain that shoots through the forearm
  • Both or one hand may become weak
  • Numbness or tingling might affect the palms
  • Constant discomfort of fingers, hands, wrists and forearms

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment

The goal is to deal with this problem without surgery, which can be expensive and render the hands of the patient unusable during recovery. Surgery may be necessary and is effective when administered. The goal is to use non-invasive treatments, including the following:

  • Carpal-centered adjustments to improve condition
  • Wrist splints to help positioning of the hand
  • Pain medication to lessen discomfort
  • Anti-inflammatories to improve movement
  • Injecting a steroid into the carpal tunnel area to improve condition
