FAQs

What treatments are available for carpal tunnel syndrome at the SA Wellness Centre?

At the SA Wellness Centre, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), combining various therapeutic techniques to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and restore function to the affected hand and wrist. Our treatments include physiotherapy, chiropractic care, myotherapy, massage therapy, and ergonomic assessments.

  • Physiotherapy: Our physiotherapists design a personalised program to improve wrist mobility and strengthen the muscles surrounding the carpal tunnel. This includes specific exercises to improve wrist alignment, hand strength, and flexibility, alongside manual therapy to reduce tension in the wrist and forearm.
  • Chiropractic Care: Our chiropractors focus on addressing misalignments in the wrist, elbow, or spine, which can contribute to compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. These adjustments help relieve pressure and restore proper nerve function.
  • Myotherapy: Myotherapists at the Centre use deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and stretching techniques to reduce muscle tightness in the forearm and wrist, alleviating pressure on the carpal tunnel.
  • Massage Therapy: Therapeutic massage helps to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and alleviate pressure on the carpal tunnel, reducing symptoms like numbness and tingling.
  • Ergonomic Advice: Our therapists provide guidance on modifying your workspace or daily activities to reduce strain on the wrist, helping to prevent further injury.

Together, these treatments aim to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and promote healing, allowing you to regain strength and functionality in the affected hand and wrist.

How can physiotherapy help relieve the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome?

Physiotherapy is an essential part of managing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), particularly in relieving symptoms such as pain, tingling, and numbness in the wrist and hand. At the SA Wellness Centre, our physiotherapists offer tailored treatments that target the wrist, forearm, and upper body to alleviate discomfort and improve mobility.

  • Stretching exercises: Our physiotherapists teach gentle stretches to improve the flexibility of the wrist and forearm muscles, reducing pressure on the median nerve running through the carpal tunnel.
  • Strengthening exercises: By strengthening the muscles in the forearm, wrist, and hand, physiotherapy helps support proper alignment and reduce strain on the carpal tunnel, preventing further nerve compression.
  • Manual therapy: Our physiotherapists use hands-on techniques to mobilise the wrist joints and soft tissues, which reduces stiffness and improves mobility, helping to alleviate CTS symptoms.
  • Nerve gliding exercises: These exercises help the median nerve glide more freely through the carpal tunnel, reducing sensations of tingling and numbness that are characteristic of CTS.

With regular physiotherapy sessions, you can improve wrist function, reduce symptoms, and prevent the progression of carpal tunnel syndrome.

How does chiropractic care treat carpal tunnel syndrome?

Chiropractic care can be a highly effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by addressing spinal and joint misalignments that may contribute to nerve compression in the wrist. At the SA Wellness Centre, our chiropractors focus on realigning the joints of the wrist, elbow, and upper spine to reduce pressure on the median nerve.

  • Spinal adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments help to improve posture and reduce strain on the neck and upper back, where nerve irritation can often begin, contributing to CTS.
  • Wrist and elbow adjustments: Chiropractors perform gentle, targeted adjustments to the wrist and elbow joints to improve alignment and reduce pressure on the carpal tunnel.
  • Postural correction: Our chiropractors provide advice on improving posture, especially for those who spend long hours at desks or using computers. Proper posture can help alleviate strain on the wrist and forearm, reducing the risk of CTS.

Chiropractic care helps restore balance in the body, improves nerve function, and relieves discomfort, making it a valuable part of any CTS treatment plan.

Can myotherapy help with carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms?

Yes, myotherapy is highly effective in managing the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), particularly by targeting the muscular and soft tissue factors contributing to median nerve compression. At the SA Wellness Centre, our myotherapists use a variety of techniques to reduce muscle tightness and alleviate CTS symptoms.

  • Trigger point therapy: Myotherapists identify and release tight muscle points in the forearm and wrist that can contribute to pressure on the carpal tunnel, helping to alleviate pain and discomfort.
  • Deep tissue massage: By applying deep tissue techniques, myotherapists reduce muscle tension and improve circulation in the forearm and wrist, promoting better flexibility and reducing strain on the carpal tunnel.
  • Stretching and mobilisation: Myotherapists guide you through specific stretches to improve flexibility and reduce muscle stiffness, which can exacerbate CTS symptoms.
  • Dry needling: Dry needling is used to target tight muscles, helping to relieve pain and release built-up tension around the carpal tunnel area.

By addressing the muscle tension that contributes to CTS, myotherapy can reduce pain, improve wrist function, and support recovery from carpal tunnel syndrome.
