Chiropractic Care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Rhode Island
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This pressure can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and wrist, making everyday tasks difficult. At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we offer practical, non-invasive treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome to relieve pressure on the nerve and restore function. As part of our Extremities care, we focus on providing personalized treatments that address the root cause of your symptoms.
What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which controls sensation and movement in parts of the hand, is compressed as it passes through the narrow carpal tunnel. This compression can be caused by:
- Repetitive Motions: Repeated motions, such as typing or using tools, can lead to inflammation and compression of the nerve.
- Injury or Trauma: Fractures or sprains in the wrist can cause swelling, narrow the carpal tunnel, and pressure the nerve.
- Medical Conditions: Conditions like arthritis, diabetes, or hypothyroidism can increase the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.
Chiropractic Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Rhode Island
At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we use non-invasive chiropractic techniques to relieve pressure on the median nerve and reduce inflammation in the wrist. Our treatments focus on addressing the underlying causes of your carpal tunnel symptoms, promoting natural healing, and preventing the need for surgery.

Class IV Hot Laser Therapy
Class IV Hot Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses high-intensity laser energy to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in the extremities. The laser energy penetrates deep into the tissues, increasing blood circulation and promoting cellular regeneration. This can help reduce pain, numbness, and tingling associated with various extremity conditions.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is an advanced treatment option that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in the extremities. The sound waves create microtrauma in the affected tissues, triggering the body's natural healing response. This can help break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote the growth of new blood vessels, leading to long-term pain relief.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome typically develops gradually and worsens over time. Common symptoms include:
- Numbness or tingling in the hand or fingers (especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers)
- Weakness in the hand or difficulty gripping objects
- Pain in the wrist or hand that may radiate up the arm
- Symptoms that worsen at night or after prolonged use of the hand
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek chiropractic care early to prevent further damage and relieve pressure on the median nerve. Untreated carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to permanent nerve damage and loss of hand function, making early intervention crucial.

So my story:
I had a bad car accident back in 2017 that fractured my left wrist, one of my ribs, my neck seized up and couldent move it to the left, and did something to my lower back where later on it went out where it was consistently going out of alignment. Think of you back as an upside down T, as the ( --- ) is the hips/waist and the ( | ) as the spine. My Spine is a (《 ) and my hips is ( / ), higher on one side then the other. This has caused excessive pain at some points. 8 years later I'm still going for monthly maintenance to keep everything in check. My neck can move after a few treatments and I still get the "rice crispy cereal popping sound" but I don't think that'll ever go away but it's jot as loud and I can move my neck. My lower back is the stubborn problem at this point.
They started doing the shockwave therapy maybe a few years ago at this point and I was a difficult patient to get to try it with all the adjustments and the money I was spending when my back would flare up and really be out of alignment and sometimes have 3 visits a week. I gave in and started the shockwave which made them so happy, and myself after. It was night an day difference. Now I know if I have a flairup that option is there. Due to how well the shockwave treatment works, I have not had many flairups because it works. It breaks down the swelling, inflammation, scar tissue, increases blood flow...etc. My muscles are not pulling my waist as tight in one direction anymore.
Now my most recent issue which one would think why the Chiropractor for this. I woke up the other week and couldent walk on my foot. Thought I stepped wrong at work and pulled a muscle. Over a few days it swelled and got worse. I ended up calling the office to get in for Shockwave knowing it helped my back before. I had, and have, Edema in my right foot, ankle, and calf. It was swollen. Like a balloon. They did the shock and Dr Chris told me to still see my primary which I did and found the reason for it and treating that as well. The Shockwave therapy REMOVED AND DRAINED THE EDEMA!!!! It's not a one time fix due to the cause of the Edema but just had another treatment and still a few more to go. The progress is amazing. I'll upload the before and after pic and you can determine yourself. It's just WOW!
Like i said, I love the treatment, the staff, and I'll continue to come here because if it wasn't for them, I'd be falling apart more then I am now. They keep me tuned up.
(Sorry the after pic of my un swollen foot doesn't show much of the ankle)
You’re not just another appointment on their schedule—they make you feel seen, heard, and cared for. After experiencing the level of care here, I can confidently say I will never go to another chiropractic office again. This team has set the bar incredibly high, and I’m so grateful to have found them.
