Airdrie Chiropractic
Wrist Injuries and Carpal Tunnel

Wrist pain, whether resulting from repetitive use or acute injuries, is a prevalent issue that we frequently address at our Airdrie Chiropractic clinic.

 

Many individuals engage in activities that put strain on their wrists, such as typing on a keyboard, using handheld devices, or performing manual labor, leading to discomfort and pain over time. This type of pain can manifest as a dull ache, sharp sensations, or even numbness, significantly impacting daily activities and overall quality of life. In addition to chronic repetitive use injuries, acute injuries such as sprains, strains, or fractures can occur due to sudden movements or accidents, further contributing to wrist discomfort.

 

Carpal tunnel syndrome is another common condition that we encounter in our practice. This syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the wrist, becomes compressed, leading to symptoms such as tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Chiropractic care has been shown to be effective in treating carpal tunnel syndrome through various techniques, including adjustments, stretches, and strengthening exercises tailored to alleviate pressure on the median nerve.

 

Our clinic employs a holistic approach, focusing not only on symptom relief but also on addressing the underlying causes of wrist pain to promote long-term recovery and prevent future injuries. By working closely with our patients, we aim to develop personalized treatment plans that enhance mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall wrist function.
