Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Long Branch, NJ

Relieve Numbness. Restore Strength. Support Natural Healing.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) can make even the simplest tasks—like typing, gripping, or writing—painful and frustrating. At New Life Chiropractic, we offer a non-invasive approach to treating carpal tunnel symptoms by focusing on the root cause: nerve interference, joint dysfunction, and muscle imbalances that affect the wrist, hand, and spine.

What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve—which runs from your neck through your arm and into your hand—is compressed at the wrist. This compression leads to inflammation and nerve dysfunction, often caused or worsened by:

• Repetitive wrist or hand movements

• Poor ergonomics or posture

• Spinal misalignments in the neck

• Scar tissue or muscular tension

• Pregnancy or fluid retention

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, or middle fingers

• Hand or wrist pain (especially at night or in the morning)

• Weak grip or frequent dropping of objects

• Burning or aching in the hand, wrist, or forearm

• Discomfort that worsens with repetitive motion

Early intervention is key—without care, CTS symptoms may progress and affect the hand.

Our Chiropractic Approach to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

At New Life Chiropractic, we look beyond the wrist. Carpal tunnel symptoms often begin higher up the chain—in the neck, shoulder, or forearm—where spinal misalignments or muscular imbalances may be irritating the nerve before it even reaches the wrist.

Your treatment may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments to the cervical spine and wrist to reduce nerve interference

• Soft tissue therapies to release tension in the forearm and carpal tunnel

• Active Release Technique (ART) for scar tissue and adhesions

• Stretching and strengthening exercises to support joint stability and mobility

• Ergonomic and posture coaching to reduce daily strain on your hands and wrists

Each plan is personalized to your specific symptoms, lifestyle, and goals.
