You worry this is just "getting older" - but carpal tunnel at your age often has a treatable mechanical cause.
Every morning you wake up in Shady Hollow, Austin TX and it's the first thing you feel - before coffee, before the commute on Shady Hollow Golf.

Why Shady Hollow trusts Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C.
Dr. James Stubbs Jr., D.C. has served the Austin metro since 2010 - including thousands of South Austin patients. His approach combines spinal manipulation with prescribed stretches and rehab protocols that many chiropractors omit. For carpal tunnel, that integration matters: adjustments restore mobility, but strengthening prevents recurrence.
Carpal Tunnel Relief in Shady Hollow, Austin TX
Technique selection varies by patient. For carpal tunnel, Dr. Stubbs may use diversified manual adjustments, instrument-assisted methods, flexion-distraction for disc issues, or drop-table techniques - always matched to your age, condition severity, and comfort level. Shady Hollow patients over 60 often prefer gentler approaches, which we provide.
What distinguishes our approach for carpal tunnel? Integration. Spinal adjustments restore joint mobility. Soft-tissue therapy releases muscle tension that pulls vertebrae out of alignment. Corrective exercises stabilize the area so Shady Hollow patients don't return every few weeks with the same complaint.
Cost transparency matters. Most carpal tunnel treatment plans at our Austin clinic range from $50–$75 per visit without insurance. We accept many PPO plans and provide documentation for HSA/FSA reimbursement. Shady Hollow patients receive a written estimate at the first visit - no surprise bills.
Your first visit for carpal tunnel includes health history, postural photos, range-of-motion testing, and palpation. Shady Hollow patients leave with a written diagnosis, estimated visit count, and home care instructions - not a sales pitch for 36 prepaid visits.
