Carpal Tunnel Treatment
Carpal Tunnel Treatment in Aurora, Ohio
Numbness, tingling, or a weak grip in your hand does not have to end in a wrist brace or surgery. Dr. Nicholas Toumazos treats carpal tunnel syndrome with non-surgical chiropractic care that addresses nerve compression at its source, not just the symptom in your wrist.
Recognizing the Signs
Is It Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome develops when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist, often from repetitive hand motion at work, on a keyboard, or during pregnancy when swelling adds pressure to the tunnel. Left unaddressed, the compression can worsen over time and, in severe cases, lead to lasting nerve damage and muscle weakness in the hand.
Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
Symptoms that worsen at night or wake you from sleep
A weakening grip or trouble holding small objects
Pain or tingling that runs up into the forearm
Our Approach
Treating the Whole Nerve Pathway, Not Just the Wrist.
A wrist brace or cortisone shot can quiet symptoms temporarily without addressing why the nerve is compressed in the first place. Dr. Toumazos examines the neck, shoulder, and arm alongside the wrist, because alignment issues higher up the chain often contribute to nerve compression at the wrist. From there, gentle chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and specific stretches work together to relieve pressure on the median nerve. For patients whose numbness and tingling extend into the feet as well as the hands, our Neuropathy Treatment program may be the better fit, and Dr. Toumazos will help you decide which path applies after your exam.

Carpal Tunnel Questions
What Aurora Patients Ask Us.
Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, gets compressed at the wrist. It causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers, often worse at night or after repetitive hand motions.
Nerve compression at the wrist is often connected to alignment issues further up the arm, shoulder, and neck. Dr. Toumazos examines the whole chain, not just the wrist, then uses gentle adjustments and soft tissue work to relieve pressure on the nerve at its actual source.
For many patients, yes, especially when treatment starts before nerve damage becomes severe. We build a plan around your exam findings and will tell you plainly if your case looks like it needs a specialist referral instead.
They can overlap. Carpal tunnel is nerve compression at one specific point in the wrist, while our neuropathy program addresses broader nerve and blood-vessel dysfunction, often in the feet and hands together. Dr. Toumazos will tell you which framework fits your symptoms after your exam.
