Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition of nerve irritation that is directly linked to repetitive stress injuries. Secretaries, office desk workers, manual laborers, athletes all use their wrists & hands and all are susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome. In the past the only treatment for this painful and irritating condition was surgery. Chiropractic physicians treat carpal tunnel syndrome with great success by means of a conservative approach without the use of drugs or surgery.

In many cases Dr. Sturdevant can use manipulation of the wrist to alleviate the symptoms of true CTS. In more serious cases, a surgical referral may be required. If it is determined that the cause of your symptoms are due to a neck-related situation, a series of chiropractic adjustments are recommended. Whatever the cause, be assured that we will do our best to lead you in the most appropriate direction for the resolution of your health issue. Usual conservative non-invasive treatment consist of 8 to 12 visits over a 3 to 6 week period.
