That pain you feel in your wrist? It’s probably carpal tunnel syndrome brought on by repetitive motions such as typing all day at a computer desk. With carpal tunnel syndrome, your range of motion and function is reduced, to the point where it hurts to move your wrist like you used to, and that’s no good.
The Tunnel
What is the carpal tunnel? It’s an area in your wrist made up of ligaments and small bones. This “tunnel,” when it isn’t working properly, can cause you terrible wrist pain thanks to compressed nerves.
The Spine
Could your wrist pain be connected to a problem with/in your spine? Yes! It could also be related to issues with joints in your neck, shoulder(s) and/or elbows. Remember, things in your body are connected through the nervous system. Therefore, a chiropractor might work on adjusting your spine (and wrist) in order to relieve your carpal tunnel pain.
Other Extremities
Chiropractic care is associated with back pain relief, but it actually works well to relieve pain in other parts of the body as well, even the wrist.
