Wrist Pain and Carpal Tunnel Care in London
Personalised Chiropractic Care for Wrist Pain and Carpal Tunnel in London
Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve is squeezed at the wrist, causing tingling or numbness in the thumb and fingers, often worse at night. Other wrist and hand problems can feel similar.
I’m Dr Ida Norgaard, a chiropractor at Inc-Health in central London. I assess the wrist together with the neck, shoulder and elbow, because nerves can be irritated at more than one level. See also our neck pain page and tennis elbow page.

Understanding Wrist Pain and Carpal Tunnel
Common Causes of Wrist Pain and Hand Tingling
Carpal tunnel symptoms are linked to repetitive wrist use, pregnancy, diabetes, thyroid problems and fluid retention. Wrist sprains, overuse of the tendons and arthritis can also cause pain.
Nerves can also be irritated at the neck or shoulder, and this is sometimes called double crush. Chiropractic care may help by easing tension in these areas, together with nerve-friendly exercises and advice on keyboard and mouse position.
Clear, personalised care for wrist pain and carpal tunnel
Every wrist and hand consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of your wrist, forearm, shoulder and neck, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Wrist Pain and Carpal Tunnel?
I take a detailed history and examine the wrist, forearm, elbow, shoulder and neck, including nerve tests. Treatment, where suitable, may include gentle joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, nerve glide exercises and advice on splints and work set-up.
Evidence for chiropractic care in carpal tunnel syndrome is limited, so I am open about what to expect. If symptoms are severe, constant or progressing, you may need nerve tests or a specialist opinion and I will refer you.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Wrist Pain and Carpal Tunnel Symptoms
Pins and Needles in the Hand and Wrist Pain
Typical symptoms are tingling or numbness in the thumb, index and middle fingers, waking at night with a dead hand, dropping things, and an aching wrist after typing or gripping.
Regular breaks, a neutral wrist position, a night splint and avoiding sustained gripping can help while you are being assessed. If you notice sudden weakness, wasting of the thumb muscle or severe swelling after an injury, seek medical help.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Wrist Pain and Carpal Tunnel
Can a chiropractor help with carpal tunnel?
Chiropractic care may help some people, particularly where the neck or shoulder is contributing. Evidence is limited, and persistent cases may need further treatment.
What are the signs of carpal tunnel syndrome?
Tingling or numbness in the thumb and fingers, worse at night, with a weak grip or clumsiness.
Could my neck be the cause?
Possibly. Nerves in the neck can refer symptoms into the arm and hand, which is why I examine the neck as well as the wrist.
Do I need a wrist splint?
A night splint often helps. I can advise whether it suits your symptoms.
When should I seek urgent help?
Seek help for sudden weakness, thumb muscle wasting, severe swelling, a hot red joint, or symptoms in both arms with leg weakness.
What happens at a first wrist pain and carpal tunnel appointment?
Dr Norgaard takes a detailed history, examines you, explains what she finds and discusses a personalised plan that may include hands-on treatment, exercises and advice. The first visit lasts 45 to 60 minutes. See your first visit.
How many sessions will I need for wrist pain and carpal tunnel?
This depends on your symptoms, how long you have had them and how you respond to care. Dr Norgaard explains what to expect after your assessment and reviews your progress as you go.
How much does a chiropractor cost in London?
An initial consultation of 45 to 60 minutes costs £160 and follow-up sessions of 20 to 30 minutes cost £90. You receive a receipt after every visit. See our chiropractor prices and book directly, with no GP referral needed.
