Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doesn’t just affect your hands—it affects your life. The tingling. The numbness. The weakness in your grip. Simple tasks—like typing, driving, or holding a cup of coffee—become painful and frustrating. And when the pain lingers, it feels like your options are limited: Surgery. Medications. More downtime.
But there’s a better way. At Edmonds Chiropractic & Sports Medicine, Dr. Jon Martin helps people find real relief from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome—without surgery, without medications, and without limits.
What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome happens when the median nerve—which runs from your forearm to your hand—gets compressed at the wrist. This compression causes pain, numbness, and weakness in your hand and fingers.
It’s one of the most common nerve issues people face. But it’s also one of the most misunderstood.
How Does Carpal Tunnel Feel? The Signs You Can’t Ignore:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can show up in different ways, but here’s what most people experience:
✔ Tingling or Numbness: A pins-and-needles sensation in your thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers.
✔ Burning Pain: That runs from your wrist into your hand and fingers—often worse at night.
✔ Hand Weakness: Dropping objects or struggling to grip small items.
✔ Swelling Sensation: Your hand may feel swollen—even when it’s not.
✔ Pain Radiating Up Your Arm: Sometimes, discomfort travels from your wrist up into your forearm.
Without proper treatment, the nerve damage from Carpal Tunnel can become permanent—causing loss of strength and mobility.
What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome happens when the tissues in your wrist—like bones, ligaments, or tendons—compress the median nerve. But the reasons behind that compression aren’t always obvious.
✔ Repetitive Motion: Long hours at a desk. Typing. Using tools. Playing an instrument. The repeated strain inflames the tendons around the median nerve.
✔ Workplace Strain: Vibrating tools or improper wrist positioning can accelerate damage.
✔ Injuries: A past wrist fracture or sprain can narrow the carpal tunnel, causing compression.
✔ Health Conditions: Metabolic disorders like diabetes, thyroid issues, or arthritis can trigger swelling and nerve compression.
✔ Pregnancy: Hormonal changes can increase fluid retention, which may compress the nerve.
✔ Weight Gain: Obesity increases pressure on the nerves and joints, including the carpal tunnel.
✔ Spinal Nerve Irritation: Carpal Tunnel pain may start somewhere unexpected—your neck. Nerve compression in your cervical spine can cause symptoms that mimic Carpal Tunnel in your hands.
That’s why treating only the wrist—without examining the spine—can lead to missed solutions.
The Frustration of Living with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome doesn’t just hurt your hands—it hurts your life.
✔ You can’t type without pain.
✔ You can’t sleep through the night without waking up numb.
✔ You can’t grip, lift, or hold without dropping.
✔ You can’t do the work you love—or the hobbies that bring you joy.
And if you’ve been told your only choices are surgery, medications, or braces that don’t seem to help—we’re here to show you a better way.
