Treating Carpal tunnel syndrome in Enschede
Tingling and numbness in the hand from a compressed nerve in the wrist.
In carpal tunnel syndrome a nerve becomes compressed in the wrist, in the narrow tunnel formed by the carpal bones. That causes tingling, numbness and sometimes loss of strength in the hand, particularly in the thumb, index and middle finger.
The complaints often appear at night or in the morning. A nerve compressed higher up, in the neck or arm, can give a similar sensation.
How we help you with carpal tunnel syndrome
We examine the whole route of the nerve, from the neck to the wrist, to determine where the compression sits. The treatment focuses on giving the nerve room where it is needed.
Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor help with carpal tunnel syndrome?
That depends on the cause, which is why we always start with a thorough examination. If your complaint turns out to be suitable for chiropractic care, we draw up a treatment plan that fits you. Many people experience relief, although results differ from person to person.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. You can book an appointment directly, without a referral from your GP.
Is the treatment reimbursed?
Chiropractic care is not part of the Dutch basic health insurance, but many insurers cover it under supplementary insurance. No deductible (eigen risico) applies. The pricing page explains how to submit your invoice.
How many treatments will I need?
That differs per person and per complaint. After the first examination we give you a realistic estimate and a plan, so you know where you stand.
