Carpal tunnel syndrome causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and wrist due to compression of the median nerve. While the compression is often at the wrist, the nerve can also be affected at the elbow, shoulder, or cervical spine — a concept called “double crush syndrome.”

At Spine Design Chiropractic, we evaluate the entire nerve pathway from your cervical spine through your shoulder, elbow, and wrist to identify all points of compression. This comprehensive approach often reveals contributing factors that wrist-focused interventions alone miss.
