CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Chiropractic Treatment for Hand Pain in Downtown Miami
Struggling with hand pain, numbness, or weakness? At our Downtown Miami chiropractic clinic, Dr. Lisa Owen specializes in helping patients find natural relief from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, repetitive motion injuries, and hand pain caused by accidents or spinal conditions. Many patients come to us after conventional medicine has failed — and experience lasting results through safe, non-invasive chiropractic care.
What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common causes of hand pain we see in our Downtown Miami clinic. It occurs when the median nerve — which runs from your forearm into your hand — becomes compressed inside the wrist’s narrow carpal tunnel. This tunnel is made up of bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels, so even small amounts of inflammation or misalignment can lead to painful symptoms.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel & Hand Pain
CTS can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including:
-
Hand and wrist pain
-
Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
-
Weak grip strength or difficulty making a fist
-
Burning or radiating pain that travels up the forearm
-
A “puffy” or swollen sensation in the hands (even without visible swelling)
-
Muscle weakness or wasting at the base of the thumb
-
Loss of temperature sensation (inability to distinguish hot from cold)
Hand pain can also result from conditions like repetitive strain injuries, car accidents, double crush syndrome, or cervical disc bulges in the neck that affect nerve function.
How Chiropractors Diagnose Hand Pain
Some individuals are more prone to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome due to naturally smaller wrist tunnels. During your visit, Dr. Owen will perform a thorough physical exam and may recommend imaging, such as an x-ray, to rule out other causes of pain. We’ll also test wrist mobility, grip strength, and nerve sensitivity to pinpoint the exact source of your hand pain.
Chiropractic Treatment for Carpal Tunnel & Hand Pain
At our Downtown Miami chiropractic office, treatment plans are personalized to your needs. Common therapies include:
-
Chiropractic adjustments of the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and cervical spine to relieve nerve pressure
-
Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises to restore mobility and function
-
Soft tissue therapies to reduce inflammation and improve circulation
-
Ergonomic and lifestyle recommendations to prevent recurrence
👉 Research shows that many CTS cases respond especially well to cervical spine adjustments, as relieving nerve interference in the neck helps reduce pressure along the entire nerve pathway. Most patients report significant pain relief within just a few weeks of starting care.

Unlike surgery or medications, chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive approach to relieving Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other types of hand pain.
