Alternatives to Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a repetitive stress injury (RSI). Office works, manual laborers and athletes are effected. Previously the only carpal tunnel syndrome treatment was surgery, but now there are many other more conservative treatment methods. Please give us a call today, if you are experiencing any symptoms to see if we can help you with your problems.
Some of the conservative carpal tunnel treatments include: laser therapy for pain and healing, acupuncture, active release of trigger points that can affect the nerve and postural
exercises to help with any kinematic chain dysfunctions.
What most people don’t realize with carpal tunnel syndrome is that the nerve that runs through your carpal tunnel starts in your neck and has to run through your shoulder, down your arm and finally through the “carpal tunnel.” It is not uncommon for someone to get impingement of the nerve in 2 places on this path and the patient will only have symptoms in the hand
Many of these patients will get injections and surgery with no improvement because they never correct the true cause of their carpal tunnel syndrome.
