Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Can Chiropractic Make a Difference?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the wrist. It often results from repetitive hand use, prolonged typing, or poor wrist posture. Traditional care includes wrist braces, medication, or surgery—but chiropractic offers non-invasive alternatives.

At State College Family Chiropractic Center, we assess your entire kinetic chain—from your neck to your hand. Often, CTS symptoms are linked to issues in the cervical spine, shoulder, or forearm muscles. Addressing those upstream can relieve nerve pressure at the wrist.

Our approach may include adjustments to the wrist and spine, soft tissue work, and ergonomic advice to improve your daily movement patterns.
