Physical Therapy for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Do you experience tingling or numbness in your hands that you just can’t shake off? If so, you may be suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. The onset of carpal tunnel syndrome is typically gradual. Symptoms can worsen over time and, if left untreated, may require surgery to cure. If you experience symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, physical therapy is an effective, non-surgical treatment.

Professional’s physical therapists work with patients to diagnose and treat carpal tunnel syndrome using various techniques that can relieve pain and irritation and restore function. Our PTs are experts in assessing discomfort caused by carpal tunnel and creating individualized treatment plans that manage and relieve your symptoms for the long term. Our goal is to guide your path to recovery so you can get back to living your life to the fullest without the pain and irritation of carpal tunnel syndrome.

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the result of the compression and inflammation of the median nerve. The median nerve runs through the carpal tunnel — a narrow passageway of ligament and bones in the wrist. It controls feeling and movement in the thumb and pointer, middle, and ring fingers. When the median nerve compresses, it can cause pain and discomfort that are difficult to ignore.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the primary cause of most wrist pain. The condition can be caused by numerous factors that include both injuries and overuse. Broken or sprained wrists, inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, and repetitive use of the wrist—such as with typing and computer work—are just a few of the risk factors that can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.

Do you have wrist pain from carpal tunnel syndrome?

Our physical therapists will customize a rehabilitation plan for pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. We will work in an effective way to get you back on your feet, focused on your wellness before, during and after therapy.
