Carpal Tunnel Treatment
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression on the median nerve as it travels through the wrist through a narrow space known as the Carpal Tunnel. This is one of the most common entrapment sites of nerves in the body.
Compression of the nerve normally comes from inflammation of the tendons, which can thicken and compress the median nerve, leading to numbness, tingling or weakness in the hand.
Carpal Tunnel Treatment
Typical Treatment: Decompression of the tunnel with stretching and strengthening exercises. Surgical release in severe cases.
- How we handle Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Targeted soft tissue to the tendons/ligaments of the carpal tunnel
- Decompression through manipulation of the joints creating the tunnel
- Stretching and strengthening of muscles
- Nerve flossing and ergonomic evaluation to reduce strain/compression through the wrist
