Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Davis, CA
Non-Invasive Relief for Wrist, Hand, and Forearm Pain
Carpal tunnel syndrome can start as a little tingling or numbness in your hand—but if left unchecked, it can turn into persistent pain, weakness, and even loss of grip strength. Whether your symptoms are just starting or have been lingering for months, we take a hands-on, targeted approach to get you relief without surgery or injections.
At Scriven Chiropractic, we focus on improving the mobility, function, and tissue health of the entire arm—not just the wrist—so you can get back to work, workouts, and daily life with less pain and more control.
What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve gets compressed as it passes through a narrow space in the wrist (the carpal tunnel). This compression can be caused by:
-
Repetitive motions (typing, tools, workouts)
-
Poor wrist or shoulder mechanics
-
Inflammation in nearby tendons
-
Scar tissue or soft tissue restrictions
-
Neck or shoulder tension that affects the nerve further upstream
You might feel:
-
Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, or middle fingers
-
Hand or wrist pain, especially at night or while using your phone
-
Weakness in your grip
-
Forearm or elbow tension that doesn’t seem to go away
How We Treat Carpal Tunnel
We don’t just treat the wrist—we look at how the entire arm, shoulder, and even neck are functioning, because nerve compression often starts higher up than where the pain shows up.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave is one of our top tools for carpal tunnel. It helps:
-
Break up scar tissue and adhesions in the forearm and wrist
-
Stimulate healing in irritated tendons
-
Improve blood flow and reduce inflammation around the median nerve
Most people notice improvement after just a few sessions.
Soft Tissue Work: Cupping & Scraping
We use instrument-assisted scraping and cupping to release tight fascia and muscle around the wrist, forearm, and elbow. This helps reduce nerve compression and restore smooth movement through the arm.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Adjustments to the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and even the cervical spine help improve overall alignment and reduce stress on the nerve. We make sure each part of the chain is working well together.
When to Come In
If your hand is falling asleep at night, you’re dropping things more often, or your forearm just feels constantly tight—don’t wait. Early care can help you avoid surgery and get your function back faster.
