Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Relief for San Diego’s Tech Workers and Craftspeople

Whether you’re typing code in a downtown San Diego office, editing photos in a studio, or crafting handmade goods in a local workshop, wrist pain can quickly become a serious

obstacle. If you’re feeling numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand, you may be dealing with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)—a condition that affects thousands of tech workers and artisans in San Diego.

At The Bridge Chiropractic in Clairemont, Dr. Nate Beyerl helps patients find non-surgical relief from carpal tunnel symptoms by addressing the root causes of nerve compression—not just the symptoms.

🧠 What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve—which runs from your forearm through the wrist—is compressed at the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in your wrist. This compression leads to symptoms such as:

• Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers

• Hand weakness or clumsiness

• Pain that radiates into the forearm or elbow

• Difficulty gripping or typing

CTS is most common among people who perform repetitive hand and wrist motions, including:

• Software developers, designers, and gamers

• Musicians, tattoo artists, and jewelers

• Office workers and administrative professionals

• Woodworkers, mechanics, and sewers

In San Diego, where both tech industries and creative trades thrive, CTS is a common challenge—but it doesn’t have to be a permanent one.

🩺 Why Traditional Treatments Don’t Always Work

Many people turn to wrist braces, anti-inflammatories, or cortisone injections. While these may bring temporary relief, they don’t address the underlying structural or postural issues causing the nerve irritation.

Surgery is sometimes recommended—but it comes with risks, downtime, and often only partial improvement. That’s why many patients choose to explore non-invasive options first.

👐 How Chiropractic Care Helps Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

At The Bridge Chiropractic, Dr. Beyerl takes a full-body, functional approach to nerve compression injuries like CTS. We don’t just treat the wrist—we assess and address the entire kinetic chain, including the neck, shoulder, elbow, and forearm.

✅ Cervical Spine Adjustments

Misalignments in the neck can create tension or nerve interference that mimics or worsens carpal tunnel symptoms. Restoring proper neck function helps take pressure off the median nerve at its origin.

💪 Wrist & Elbow Mobilization

We perform gentle adjustments and mobilizations to the wrist, elbow, and hand to improve joint space and reduce mechanical compression on the nerve.

💆 Soft Tissue Release

Muscles and fascia in the forearm, wrist, and shoulder can become tight and inflamed from repetitive motion. We use specific muscle release techniques to relieve tension and improve circulation.

📈 Ergonomic & Lifestyle Coaching

We’ll also review your workstation setup, posture, and daily habits to reduce strain on your wrists and help prevent flare-ups.
