— Conditions We Treat
—— UNDERSTANDING THE CONDITION
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve — running through a narrow passageway in the wrist — becomes compressed or irritated. This causes numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers, burning or aching wrist pain, and grip weakness that worsens over time.
"What is frequently overlooked is the cervical spine's role — compression of nerve roots at C6 or C7 can contribute to or mimic carpal tunnel symptoms in a pattern called 'double crush syndrome.'"
Addressing only the wrist without evaluating the cervical contribution often leads to incomplete or temporary relief. D.N.F.T.® evaluates both simultaneously — which is why patients get better results here than with wrist-focused approaches alone.

—— OUR APPROACH
Our approach addresses both the wrist and the cervical spine:
01
Evaluates the cervical spine and wrist simultaneously — identifying nerve root compression at C6/C7 that may be contributing to median nerve symptoms, and correcting it with the gentle, low-force approach.
02
Penetrates into the carpal tunnel to reduce inflammation around the median nerve, stimulate nerve regeneration, and accelerate healing — providing significant symptom relief while structural correction is underway.
Wrist mobility, nerve gliding exercises, and ergonomic guidance to reduce the mechanical stress perpetuating carpal tunnel compression between visits.
—— SPECIFIC TYPES WE TREAT
Yes. Caribbean Chiropractor in Grapevine, TX treats carpal tunnel using D.N.F.T.® chiropractic to address cervical and wrist nerve compression, combined with Phoenix Thera-Lase laser therapy to reduce carpal tunnel inflammation and stimulate nerve healing — often providing significant relief without surgery.
Frequently yes. Cervical nerve root compression at C6 or C7 can contribute to or mimic carpal tunnel symptoms — a pattern called double crush syndrome. D.N.F.T.® evaluates both the wrist and cervical spine, ensuring both sources of nerve compression are identified and addressed.
Phoenix Thera-Lase laser therapy reduces inflammation within the carpal tunnel, stimulates nerve regeneration, and accelerates healing of the soft tissue structures that have narrowed the nerve passageway — providing effective relief while structural correction reduces the compression.
Many carpal tunnel patients begin noticing improvement in numbness and tingling within a few sessions as nerve inflammation reduces. Grip strength and full resolution of symptoms typically take longer. Dr. Humberto will give you a realistic timeline after your assessment at Caribbean Chiropractor in Grapevine, TX.
