Acupuncture for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Wrist Pain

Acupuncture is traditionally used to help carpal tunnel and wrist pain by easing tension in the wrist, forearm and hand and supporting circulation. It's a complementary option best paired with rest, ergonomics and medical assessment.

The approach

Repetitive desk and phone work loads the wrists. Acupuncture is used to ease tension through the wrist, forearm and hand, while ergonomics and rest address the cause.

What to expect

A short course of sessions while you track symptoms; massage therapy for the forearm can help too.

An honest note

Numbness, tingling or weakness should be assessed by a physician, as carpal tunnel sometimes needs medical treatment. Acupuncture here is a complementary wellness service.
