Yes - for mechanical carpal tunnel caused by spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Dr. Stubbs evaluates 78736 patients with orthopedic and neurological testing before treatment. A 2018 JAMA Internal Medicine review supports spinal manipulation for acute pain. If your case isn't appropriate for chiropractic, we'll say so and refer you.
Should I see a chiropractor or my primary doctor first for carpal tunnel?+
Either works - no referral required for chiropractic in Texas. If you have red-flag symptoms (fever, unexplained weight loss, bowel/bladder changes), see your MD first. For mechanical carpal tunnel, 78736 patients can book directly with us.

Can a chiropractor help with cortisol levels?+
Chiropractic may indirectly support stress response by reducing sympathetic nervous system activation - which elevates cortisol during chronic pain.
