Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief in Overland Park, KS

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) affects millions of people every year, causing tingling, numbness, weakness, and pain in the fingers, hand, and sometimes even the arm. If you're struggling with symptoms of carpal tunnel and seeking a natural, non-invasive solution, chiropractic care may be the answer. At Nigus Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we take a holistic approach to treating carpal tunnel, addressing not just the wrist but also the spine and nervous system to provide long-lasting relief.

What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

The carpal tunnel is a small passageway in the wrist that houses tendons and the median nerve, which controls sensation and movement in parts of the hand. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) occurs when pressure on the median nerve leads to symptoms such as:

• Tingling or numbness in the fingers (especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers)
  
• Weakness in the hand, making it difficult to grip objects
  
• Pain or discomfort that may extend into the wrist, arm, or even the shoulder

While many assume CTS is solely caused by wrist strain, research has shown that nerve compression in the neck, shoulder, or spine can also contribute to symptoms. This is why a whole-body approach—like chiropractic care—can be more effective than simply treating the wrist alone.

Why Traditional Carpal Tunnel Treatments Fall Short

Many conventional treatments for CTS, including pain medication, wrist splints, and even surgery, focus solely on relieving pressure in the wrist. However, studies show that up to 75% of carpal tunnel surgeries fail to provide long-term relief, with symptoms returning within two years.



That’s because CTS often stems from nerve entrapments in multiple areas, including the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and neck. If the underlying misalignments aren’t addressed, symptoms can persist or worsen over time.

Chiropractic Care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

At Nigus Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we take a comprehensive approach to CTS treatment, looking beyond the wrist to identify and correct the root cause of your symptoms. Our treatment may include:

• Spinal & Joint Adjustments – Restoring proper alignment in the neck, shoulder, and wrist to relieve nerve compression.
• Acupuncture & Soft Tissue Therapy – Reducing inflammation and promoting natural healing.
• Targeted Exercises – Strengthening the muscles and improving flexibility to prevent future flare-ups.
• Lifestyle & Ergonomic Guidance – Addressing workplace habits and daily activities that may contribute to nerve irritation.

By focusing on the entire nervous system, not just the wrist, chiropractic care can provide long-term relief and help restore your hand strength and function—without surgery or reliance on medication.
