Explain Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, running from the forearm to the palm of the hand, becomes painful. The discomfort of numbness and tingling is mostly due to being pressed or squeezed. The Carpal Tunnel consists of ligament and bones found at the base of the hand, housing nerves and tendons that let fingers bend. This area is in constant use. The continual use of the hand in a consistent way, such as typing on a computer or clicking on a phone, causes pain which leads to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Tennis players also suffer from this condition after holding a tennis raquet tight for long periods of time. Treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a specialty of our Physical Therapy Team at Elite Spine and Sports Care of Totowa. We are knowledgeable about the options for treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. We offer our experience in the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to sufferers in Totowa and all of Passaic County as well as surrounding northern NJ locations.
How Does Treatment Work?
Expert Physical Therapy instruction by Elite Spine staff usually begins with learning correct stretching techniques for treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. These exercises treat the discomfort and can be practiced as you work. If these exercises don’t relieve the pain our therapists may use Active Release Technique, or Deep Tissue Laser Therapy. Both of these are drug-free and surgery-free options. If the pain persists beyond the proper implementation of these options, then drugs or surgery may become necessary
