If you’ve ever experienced tingling, numbness, or pain in your hand or wrist that just won’t go away, you may be dealing with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. At Lubbock Advanced Physical Medicine in Lubbock, TX, we work with patients every day to help them find relief from this common and frustrating condition. This guide will help you understand what’s going on—and what you can do about it.

What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve—which runs from your forearm through a narrow passage in the wrist (the carpal tunnel)—becomes compressed. This nerve controls sensation and muscle movement in parts of the hand, and when it’s pinched, symptoms can range from annoying to debilitating.

Common signs include:

• Tingling or numbness in your thumb, index, and middle fingers
  
• Weakness or difficulty gripping objects
  
• Hand pain that worsens at night or after repetitive use
  

What Causes It?

There’s no single cause, but several factors can increase your risk:

• Repetitive hand motions (e.g., typing, assembly line work)
  
• Poor wrist ergonomics
  
• Previous wrist injury
  
• Conditions like diabetes, arthritis, or thyroid imbalances
  

Even poor posture can play a role—especially if it affects how your shoulders and spine support your wrists.

Managing and Treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Early treatment is key. At Lubbock Advanced Physical Medicine, we take a comprehensive approach to carpal tunnel syndrome treatment. As a trusted chiropractor near you, we offer:

• Chiropractic adjustments to reduce nerve interference and improve wrist alignment
  
• Soft tissue therapy to reduce inflammation and tension
  
• Stretching and strengthening exercises to support the wrist
  
• Ergonomic guidance to help you avoid future flare-ups
  

In more advanced cases, additional interventions may be needed—but many of our patients find significant relief through non-invasive chiropractic care.
