Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Serving North Bergen, NJ and the surrounding area

At Life Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we take a holistic and non-invasive approach to treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) by combining chiropractic care, Cold Laser Therapy, and soft tissue techniques. Our goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent long-term complications.

Comprehensive Chiropractic Evaluation

• Our chiropractors perform a detailed assessment of the wrist, hand, and upper spine, as nerve irritation in the neck can contribute to CTS symptoms.
• Precise chiropractic adjustments help improve joint function, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pressure on the median nerve.

Wrist & Hand Rehabilitation Exercises

• Customized stretching and strengthening exercises target the muscles and tendons around the wrist to enhance flexibility and reduce nerve compression.
• Exercises also help prevent further irritation and support long-term relief.

Cold Laser Therapy for Pain & Inflammation

• Targeted Healing: Cold Laser Therapy uses low-level laser light to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing in the wrist and hand.
• Enhanced Circulation: Laser therapy improves blood flow, helping to relieve numbness, tingling, and pain associated with CTS.

Ergonomic & Workplace Assessments

• Poor posture and repetitive strain can worsen CTS. We provide ergonomic recommendations to help patients adjust wrist positioning and reduce stress during work and daily activities.
• Our team offers strategies for proper hand and wrist alignment to prevent aggravation.

Soft Tissue Therapy for Muscle & Nerve Relief

• Massage therapy and myofascial release help relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and reduce pressure on the median nerve.
• These techniques work in combination with chiropractic care to enhance recovery.

Wrist Splints & Supportive Bracing

• If necessary, wrist splints may be recommended to stabilize the wrist and prevent excessive movement, especially during repetitive tasks or sleep.

Patient Education & Self-Care Strategies

• We educate patients on wrist-friendly habits, lifestyle modifications, and at-home exercises to help manage and prevent CTS symptoms.
• Learning proper hand positioning, stretching techniques, and break schedules can significantly improve long-term outcomes.

Collaborative Care for Comprehensive Treatment

For severe cases, we coordinate with orthopedic specialists or hand surgeons to ensure a well-rounded, multi-disciplinary approach to CTS management.
