Carpal Tunnel

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Care

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in your wrist, becomes compressed or irritated. This can result in pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Often, CTS is caused by repetitive motions, poor posture, or injuries that place pressure on the nerve. The condition can be debilitating, affecting daily tasks and overall quality of life. At Lifestyle Healthcare, we provide a comprehensive range of treatments to address Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, targeting both the root causes and the symptoms for long-term relief.

Understanding the Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Holistic Treatment Approaches

Causes: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be exacerbated by repetitive hand movements, poor posture, or inflammation around the wrist and hand, leading to pressure on the median nerve.

Treatment: Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in the affected area. This non-invasive treatment accelerates tissue repair, improves blood circulation, and can provide significant pain relief, making it a powerful solution for CTS.

Causes: Chronic inflammation or nerve compression in the wrist and hand can lead to carpal tunnel symptoms, including pain and numbness.

Treatment: Class IV laser therapy penetrates deep into tissues with light energy, reducing inflammation and promoting healing at the cellular level. This therapy enhances blood circulation and encourages the regeneration of nerve and soft tissue, providing effective relief for CTS.

Causes: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is often associated with long-term inflammation and degeneration of tissues around the wrist and median nerve, which can lead to persistent pain and dysfunction.

Treatment: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and stem cell injections use the body’s own healing mechanisms to accelerate tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. These injections deliver growth factors directly to the affected tissues, promoting faster healing and providing long-lasting pain relief from CTS.

Causes: Weakness, stiffness, and poor posture are common contributors to carpal tunnel syndrome. These factors can increase the pressure on the median nerve and aggravate symptoms.

Treatment: Physical therapy focuses on improving strength and flexibility in the wrist, hand, and forearm muscles. Targeted exercises, stretches, and posture correction can relieve nerve pressure, reduce pain, and restore mobility, helping to alleviate CTS symptoms and prevent future flare-ups.

Causes: Muscle tension, poor circulation, and repetitive stress can all contribute to the development and progression of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Treatment: Massage therapy targets tight muscles, reduces inflammation, and improves blood flow to the affected areas. By easing tension and promoting relaxation, massage therapy can relieve the pressure on the median nerve, reduce pain, and improve overall hand function in CTS patients.

Causes: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome often results from nerve compression, inflammation, and poor circulation, leading to discomfort and limited mobility.

Treatment: Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to stimulate the nervous system and promote the body’s natural healing response. This therapy helps to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and alleviate pain, making it an effective treatment for managing CTS symptoms and improving overall function.
