Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Care in San Antonio, TX
Finding Relief From Hand Pain, Numbness, and Tingling Without Surgery
If you’ve been living with numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hands and wrists — or waking up at night needing to shake out your hands — you may have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). This common nerve issue can make everything from typing to cooking or gripping a steering wheel painful and frustrating.
At Aloha Wellness – Chiropractic and Nutrition, we help patients address carpal tunnel symptoms at the root, using gentle chiropractic care, nerve-focused techniques, and supportive strategies that go beyond splints or medication. Our goal is to restore proper nerve function, reduce irritation, and keep you doing the things you love — without unnecessary procedures.
Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into your hand, becomes compressed or irritated as it passes through the narrow carpal tunnel in your wrist.
What Causes It?
CTS can result from:
Repetitive motions (typing, assembly work, hobbies like knitting)
Poor wrist positioning or ergonomics
Swelling from conditions like arthritis or fluid retention
Misalignments in the wrist bones that reduce tunnel space
Nerve irritation starting in the neck or shoulder (called “double crush”), which makes the wrist more vulnerable
Common Symptoms
Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
Burning or aching pain that may extend up the forearm
Weak grip strength or dropping objects
Symptoms that worsen at night or with activities like driving, reading, or using a phone
If left untreated, CTS can lead to permanent nerve damage and muscle wasting in the hand.
How We Help at Aloha Wellness
Correcting Spinal & Wrist Alignment
We don’t just look at your wrist. Many cases of CTS have components in the neck or shoulder, where nerve roots originate. Gentle adjustments help relieve pressure along the entire nerve pathway. We also assess and adjust small misalignments in the wrist and hand bones that may be crowding the carpal tunnel.
Muscle & Soft Tissue Support
By addressing tight forearm muscles and fascia that can squeeze the median nerve, we improve blood flow and reduce local nerve irritation. Targeted stretches and gentle myofascial techniques support this process.
Ergonomic & Lifestyle Coaching
We guide you on adjusting workstation setup, sleeping positions, and daily habits to reduce repetitive strain and wrist flexion that can worsen symptoms.
Nutritional & Inflammation Management
Through personalized evaluations, we identify nutritional factors that may be driving systemic inflammation, using whole-food recommendations and professional-grade supplements to calm irritated tissues and support nerve health.
Expected Benefits & Results
Patients under our care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome frequently notice:
Less numbness and tingling, especially at night
Improved grip strength and fine motor control
Reduced pain with work, hobbies, or everyday tasks
Lower risk of chronic nerve damage that might otherwise lead to surgery
Because we address the root contributors — not just splint the wrist — results are often more complete and lasting.
