Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Murrysville, PA

Helping You Find Relief from Hand, Wrist, and Nerve Symptoms

Carpal tunnel syndrome can make everyday activities frustrating. Tasks such as typing, gripping tools, using a phone, exercising, driving, or even sleeping comfortably may become difficult when numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain develops in the hand and wrist.

At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, we evaluate carpal tunnel syndrome and other conditions that may contribute to hand, wrist, and nerve related symptoms. Our goal is to identify the source of the problem and develop an individualized treatment plan designed to improve function, reduce irritation, and help you return to your normal activities.

Whether symptoms developed gradually over time or are related to work, hobbies, sports, or repetitive activities, a thorough evaluation can help determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes irritated as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist.

Common symptoms may include:

Numbness in the hand or fingers

Tingling sensations

Wrist pain

Hand weakness

Difficulty gripping objects

Symptoms that worsen at night

While carpal tunnel syndrome is common, similar symptoms can also originate from other areas of the body, which is why a proper evaluation is important.

Common Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Several factors may contribute to irritation of the median nerve, including:

✓Repetitive hand and wrist movements
✓Computer and desk work
✓Tool usage
✓Sports and recreational activities
✓Previous injuries
✓Wrist joint dysfunction
✓Inflammation affecting surrounding tissues

In some cases, symptoms may also be influenced by issues involving the neck, shoulder, or other areas along the path of the nerve.

How We Evaluate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation designed to determine the source of their symptoms. Depending on your condition, this may include:

✓Health history review

✓Orthopedic testing

✓Neurological assessment

✓Wrist and hand evaluation

✓Range of motion testing

✓Functional movement assessment

✓Digital X-rays when clinically appropriate

The goal is to determine whether symptoms are truly related to carpal tunnel syndrome or whether another condition may be contributing to the problem.

How We Treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Treatment recommendations are based on the individual's symptoms, examination findings, and goals.

Extremity Adjustments

The joints of the wrist, hand, elbow, and shoulder all play a role in how the upper extremity functions. Extremity adjustments may be incorporated into treatment plans to help improve mobility, reduce mechanical stress, and support normal movement throughout the affected area.

SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave Therapy may be incorporated into treatment plans when soft tissue irritation and inflammation are contributing to symptoms. By supporting the body's natural healing response, SoftWave can be a valuable component of a comprehensive treatment approach for certain patients.

Rehabilitation & Movement Recommendations

Depending on your condition, recommendations may include:

• Mobility exercises
• Stretching routines
• Nerve gliding exercises
• Activity modifications
• Ergonomic recommendations
• Strengthening exercises

These strategies are designed to improve function and help reduce the likelihood of recurring symptoms.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Repetitive Stress

Many cases of carpal tunnel syndrome develop gradually over time.

Individuals who spend long hours typing, using tools, performing repetitive work tasks, or engaging in repetitive hobbies often place significant demands on the wrist and hand.

Identifying and addressing these contributing factors is an important part of achieving long term improvement.

Our Approach to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, we focus on identifying why symptoms are occurring rather than simply treating the area where pain is felt.

Depending on the findings of your evaluation, treatment may involve extremity adjustments, SoftWave Therapy, rehabilitation exercises, ergonomic recommendations, and other conservative treatment options designed to improve function and reduce irritation affecting the involved tissues.

Our goal is to help patients return to work, hobbies, exercise, and everyday activities with greater comfort and confidence.
