Are you having Carpal Tunnel?
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that affects the hand and arm, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist within a space called the carpal tunnel.
If you're experiencing the discomfort of:
- Numbness, tingling, or a "pins and needles" sensation in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and part of the ring finger.
- Weakness in the hand, particularly a decreased grip strength, may occur.
- Pain or aching in the hand, wrist, and forearm is common. The pain may radiate up the arm toward the shoulder.
- Burning sensation in the affected hand.
- Shock-like Sensations in the fingers.
Causes of Carpal Tunnel
- Repetitive Hand and Wrist Movements or maintaining a specific hand position for extended periods (such as typing on a computer or using tools) can contribute to inflammation and compression of the median nerve.
- Poor Wrist Positioning or Activities that involve prolonged or extreme flexion or extension of the wrist can increase pressure on the median nerve. This is common in occupations that require forceful or repetitive hand movements.
- Trauma or Injury to the wrist, such as a fracture or dislocation, can cause swelling and alter the space within the carpal tunnel, putting pressure on the median nerve.
- Conditions or situations that cause fluid retention, such as pregnancy or certain medical conditions, can increase pressure within the carpal tunnel.

Our Acupuncturists will insert thin needles into specific acupuncture points for carpal tunnel issues are targeted to address the underlying imbalance. The whole process is painless and natural. Promoting healing and alleviating pain.
Electroacupuncture
Our Acupuncturist may incorporate electroacupuncture, where a small electric current is applied to the acupuncture needles, to enhance the therapeutic effects and provide pain relief.
Physiotherapy for Carpal Tunnel
Ultrasound Therapy
Our physiotherapists may incorporate Ultrasound therapy to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. It can be applied to the affected area to promote tissue repair.
Hot and Cold Therapy
Cold packs or warm compresses may help manage pain and inflammation. Cold therapy is often used during acute flare-ups, while heat therapy can aid in relaxing muscles.
Physio Manual Therapy
Hands-on techniques, such as soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization, may be used to reduce muscle tightness and improve joint mobility.
