Treatment & Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome usually occurs when the tissues surrounding the carpal tunnel become inflamed. When the tissues expand due to swelling, they compress the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel. This can cause a wide range of symptoms, depending on how severe the compression is.

Some of the most common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include:

  • Pain and numbness in the hands and fingers
  • Tingling sensations in the hands and fingers
  • Difficulty gripping objects
  • Weakness in the hands

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a specialist as soon as possible. Untreated carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to permanent nerve damage. The Physicians Spine & Rehabilitation offers a wide range of treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome, including:

  • Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help you improve your range of motion and strengthen the muscles in your hands and wrists.
  • Wrist braces: Wrist braces can help keep your wrists in the correct position and reduce inflammation.
  • Surgical intervention: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to relieve the pressure on the median nerve. This is called decompression surgery, and it involves cutting open the carpal tunnel to release the nerve. The Physicians perform arthroscopic surgery, which is a minimally invasive surgery that uses small incisions and a camera to guide your surgeon rather than opening the entire wrist.

The Physicians Spine & Rehabilitation Specialists are passionate about providing the least invasive treatment possible for carpal tunnel syndrome and other conditions that cause chronic hand and wrist pain. When you come in for your appointment with us, we’ll perform a thorough evaluation and discuss the best treatment options for you moving forward.
