Acupuncture for Carpal Tunnel
At Moss Chiropractic, we provide acupuncture treatments designed to alleviate the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and arm. Our holistic approach can provide relief from discomfort and support long-term wrist health.
How Acupuncture Can Help with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Acupuncture can provide relief for carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition characterized by numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and arm caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist. Here’s how acupuncture may help:
- Pain Relief: Acupuncture is known for its analgesic properties. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, it can trigger the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, providing relief from pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Reduced Inflammation: Acupuncture may have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce inflammation around the median nerve. This can alleviate swelling and pressure on the nerve, reducing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Improved Nerve Function: Acupuncture may help improve nerve function by promoting circulation and reducing compression on the median nerve. By enhancing blood flow to the affected area, acupuncture can support the repair and regeneration of damaged nerves.
- Muscle Relaxation: Tight muscles in the forearm and hand can contribute to the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Acupuncture can help relax these muscles, reducing tension and pressure on the median nerve.
- Balancing Energy Flow (Qi): In traditional Chinese medicine, carpal tunnel syndrome is viewed as an imbalance in the flow of Qi, or vital energy, through the body’s meridians. Acupuncture aims to restore balance and flow, which can help alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
- Complementary Therapy: Acupuncture is often used alongside other treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome, such as wrist splints, physical therapy, or anti-inflammatory medications. It can enhance the effectiveness of these treatments and provide additional relief.
- Preventative Care: Regular acupuncture sessions may help prevent the recurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome by addressing underlying imbalances in the body and promoting overall wrist health.
