Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel symptoms can come from the wrist, the elbow, or all the way up at the neck, sometimes all three.

About Carpal Tunnel

Real carpal tunnel syndrome is compression of the median nerve at the wrist. But the same symptoms, numbness in thumb, index, middle finger, can come from the elbow (pronator teres), the shoulder (scalene), or the neck (C6 nerve root).

We test the whole pathway and treat the actual entrapment point. Many patients labeled 'carpal tunnel' improve without ever needing surgery.

Common causes

  • Wrist median nerve compression (true carpal tunnel)
  • Pronator teres entrapment at the elbow
  • Scalene compression at the shoulder
  • Cervical nerve root irritation (C6)
  • Combined / double-crush patterns

How we treat it

  • Wrist mobilization and soft-tissue release
  • Cervical adjusting if the root cause is upstream
  • Ergonomic and posture coaching
  • Nerve glides specific to the median nerve
