CHIROPRACTIC CARE I am 6 months pregnant and experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome. Can chiropractic be of benefit? A Minor misalignments (subluxations) of the carpal bones of the wrist are common during pregnancy due to increased edema in the extremities and hormonal changes. These subluxations can alter the shape of the carpal tunnel leading to compression of the median nerve causing the numbness and tingling associated with CTS. Adjusting the wrists usually does reduce symptomatology, but symptoms also typically resolve as soon as the pregnancy is over. If symptoms persist, definitely have your wrist, elbow, and shoulder alignment evaluated. Dr.Brook A.
