Think you have Carpal Tunnel? It Might Be Radial Tunnel Syndrome. #carpaltunnelrelief #elbowpain


Radial Tunnel Syndrome is often confused with carpal tunnel, but it’s a completely different condition. Instead of affecting the wrist, it involves compression of the radial nerve as it passes through the forearm, especially near the supinator muscle. This can cause:

Deep, aching pain in the forearm

Weak grip strength

Pain with twisting or lifting motions

Symptoms without numbness or tingling (unlike carpal tunnel)

How Gonstead Extremity Chiropractic Care Helps:

🔎 Precise Assessment – Using the four Gonstead criteria (visualization, instrumentation, palpation, and X-ray if needed), we evaluate the elbow, wrist, and forearm joints for misalignments that may increase pressure on the radial nerve.

👐 Specific Adjustments – Gentle, exact corrections are made to restore alignment and motion in the radial head, elbow, and wrist joints, helping reduce nerve irritation.

⚡ Improved Function – By removing interference to the nerve, we support better muscle balance, improved grip strength, and faster recovery.

💡 Long-Term Relief – Correcting joint dysfunction helps prevent recurrence, so you can stay active and pain-free.

👉 If you’ve been told you have carpal tunnel but your symptoms don’t match, it could be Radial Tunnel Syndrome. Gonstead extremity care offers a natural and effective solution to restore function and relieve pain.
