Carpal Tunnel Relief in Kailua
Treating the source of your hand and wrist pain, not just the symptoms.

Healthcare services imageIf you are experiencing tingling, numbness, or weakness in your hands, you may be facing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). While many believe that surgery is the only answer, many cases of CTS are actually caused by nerve interference originating in the neck or a misalignment in the wrist bones. At Hawaii Gonstead Chiropractic, we offer a precise, non-invasive alternative to help you regain your grip and your quality of life.


Understanding the Symptoms

The median nerve runs from your forearm into the palm of your hand through a small passage in the wrist called the carpal tunnel. When this nerve is compressed or irritated, it can lead to:
  • "Pins and Needles": Tingling or numbness in the thumb and first three fingers.
  • Hand Weakness: Difficulty picking up small objects or a tendency to drop things.
  • Radiating Discomfort: Pain that travels from the wrist up into the arm.
  • False Inflammation: A sensation that the hand is swollen, even when no visible swelling is present.

Why Standard Treatments Often Fail

Many healthcare providers focus solely on the wrist. However, the nerves in your hand actually begin in your cervical spine (neck). If a nerve is pinched in your neck, it can cause symptoms in your wrist—a phenomenon often called "Double Crush Syndrome." This is why traditional surgeries have a high failure rate; if the source of the nerve pressure is actually in your spine, a wrist surgery will not provide lasting relief. At our Kailua clinic, we examine the entire nerve pathway to ensure we are treating the true cause of your pain.

    The Gonstead Approach to Recovery

    Our goal is to get you back to work and your hobbies without the need for needles or scalpels. By performing precise adjustments to the wrist and the spine, we relieve the pressure on the median nerve. Many of our patients report a significant reduction in symptoms after just a few sessions.
