Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Find relief from numbness, tingling, and wrist pain with expert physiotherapy care.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist. This causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand, affecting your ability to grip and perform fine movements. Our physiotherapy treatment focuses on reducing pressure on the nerve and restoring normal hand function.
How Can We Help Treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Our carpal tunnel treatment aims to reduce nerve compression through manual therapy, nerve gliding exercises, splinting guidance, and ergonomic modifications to prevent recurrence.
What you can expect:
- Reduced numbness and tingling
- Improved sleep without waking
- Better grip strength
- Return to normal activities
- Prevention strategies for long-term relief
