Hand Pain and Carpal Tunnel

Tingling in your fingers? Waking with weak, numb hands? Struggling to open jars? Pain in your wrists or hands?

These are just some of the things people with hand problems suffer with everyday. Our hands are the contact to our life. We communicate with them, eat with them, drive with them, work with them and even keep ourselves clean with them. So what happens when they don’t hold up to the years of stress and strain we put them through?

For many, living with hand pain, weakness or numbness can be truly debilitating.

Causes of Hand Pain

The causes of hand pain are varied. Inflammatory disorders, various forms of arthritis, repetitive strain injuries, trauma and neurological dysfunction.

Majority of hand issues are functional in nature and are derived from incorrect or over use of our hands and arms for long periods of time. Nerve entrapments are a common consequence of this and can create problems whether they occur in the shoulder, elbow or wrist.

These entrapments often occur from muscle imbalances or joint dysfunction as a result of the lifestyle we maintain. In some people, hormonal imbalances and wide spread inflammation can also create these problems and be a source of wrist and hand pain or numbness.

How we can Help

Thoroughly assessing the cause of hand and wrist problems with detailed function assessments of your hand, arm, shoulder and neck and important in isolating the cause of dysfunction and finding you a solution.

Whilst hand pain is often annoying to begin with various problems that affect the hands can progress making it harder to treat.

In severe circumstance problems such as entrapments may require surgical corrective care, so it’s important to start managing and correcting issues early before they progress.

Taking a thorough integrative approach to assessment and management of your hands is essential in identifying the various causes of your hand problems and getting you back doing what you love quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Migraines are more than just a “bad headache.” They are a neurological condition that can involve intense, throbbing pain, often on one side of the head, and may be accompanied by nausea, visual disturbances, light or sound sensitivity, dizziness, or fatigue.

Unlike common tension headaches, migraines often reflect how the brain and nervous system are processing stress, movement and sensory input. In many cases, the brain is overstimulated, especially a pathway known as the trigeminovascular pathway. Check out my vid on how migraines occur here: https://youtu.be/R_kdOZFaZ48

With a thorough assessment of your neurology, physiology and hormone patterns, an underlying driver of migraines can be found.

Migraines rarely have a single cause. That’s why we take a whole-person approach rather than chasing symptoms alone.

Our Migraine assessment session may include:

  • A detailed health and migraine history
  • Examination of spinal movement, posture, and joint function
  • Assessment of nervous system stress and muscle responses
  • Exploration of lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress load, hormones, nutrition and past injuries
  • Assessment of your TMJ, cervical spine and sensory mechanisms

Our goal is to understand why your nervous system may be under strain and find a solution to the dysfunction.

For many people, yes, but everyone is different. It’s rare for two people to have the same cause for their migraines. We aim to improve how the body and nervous system function together. When spinal joints, muscles, neural pathways and hormonal mechanisms are under stress, this can often place the brain on edge, just waiting for a trigger to set it off.

By restoring movement, reducing mechanical stress, supporting nervous system regulation and improving function, many patients experience:

  • Fewer migraine episodes
  • Reduced intensity or duration
  • Improved recovery after attacks

Every person responds differently, but care is always tailored to your body and your needs.

Applied Kinesiology (AK) allows us to assess how different systems in the body — including the musculoskeletal, neurological, biochemical, and stress-response systems — are interacting.
Using gentle muscle testing, we can identify:

  • Areas of overload or imbalance
  • Stress patterns affecting the nervous system
  • Potential triggers related to posture, movement, nutrition, or emotional stress

AK doesn’t replace our neurological, physiological, structural or hormonal testing; it adds to the context of them. This helps guide more precise, individualised care, rather than relying on guesswork or one-size-fits-all approaches.

This varies from person to person and depends on factors such as migraine history, frequency, nervous system resilience, stress levels, lifestyle factors and the root of imbalance.

Some people notice changes within a few visits, while others experience more gradual improvement over weeks to months. Our focus is on doing what we need to do to build long-term stability and resilience within your nervous system.

We’ll always discuss realistic expectations with you and track your progress.

Yes. We do not advise stopping or changing any medications unless directed by your GP or specialist. Our team are experts in Migraine care and are well aware of the various medications and injectable treatments. Our care can be safely used alongside medical management.

The first goal is to assist you in getting relief from your migraine events.
