Carpal Tunnel Treatment in Overland Park
Restore Comfort and Function in the Hands, Wrists, and Arms Without Surgery
What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the wrist. This nerve originates in the cervical spine and runs down the arm, passing through a narrow tunnel of bones and ligaments in the wrist, known as the carpal tunnel. When pressure builds in this passageway, it can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers.
We offer non-invasive, drug-free treatments that target the root cause of carpal tunnel symptoms by relieving nerve compression and restoring proper joint and muscle function from the neck to the wrist.

What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
CTS often results from repetitive stress and poor ergonomics, but it can also be linked to other health conditions. Common contributors include:
- Prolonged computer or desk work
- Frequent use of vibrating tools
- Poor posture or spinal misalignment
- Inflammation in the wrist, shoulder, or forearm
- Pregnancy-related fluid retention
- Arthritis or trauma to the wrist
The underlying issue may not just be at the wrist—nerve compression can also originate from the neck or shoulder region.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
CTS symptoms can develop gradually and become more severe over time. Typical signs include:
- Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
- Wrist pain or burning sensation
- Weakness or loss of grip strength
- Hand clumsiness or frequent dropping of objects
- Pain that radiates into the forearm or elbow
If left untreated, chronic nerve compression can lead to permanent nerve damage and reduced hand function.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Since the median nerve begins in the spine and travels through the arm, chiropractic care can play a key role in relieving CTS symptoms by improving nerve function at multiple points along its path.
At Chiropractic Group of Overland Park, Dr. Stallbaumer uses a multi-faceted approach to reduce pressure on the median nerve and restore joint mobility. Treatments may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments to the cervical spine, shoulder, elbow, and wrist
- Soft tissue therapy to relieve tension and inflammation in the forearm and hand
- Postural correction to reduce strain on the neck and upper extremities
- Cold laser therapy to support nerve regeneration and reduce swelling
- Functional exercises to improve flexibility and restore grip strength
Our goal is to promote nerve healing and restore full, pain-free function in your hands and wrists.
