Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

By definition, carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the nerve running through the tunnel at the end of the wrist does not have enough space and is consequently compressed. This results in pain, numbness, tingling, and/or weakness in the palm, side of the thumb, and/or index fingers, which often increases at night. These same symptoms can also be caused if the nerve is compromised higher in the arm, such as in the forearm or even the elbow. Usually, this is due to tight or scar-filled muscle tissue compressing the nerve as it passes through the arm.

How can We Help?

At Performance Health & Wellness we offer several different therapies to treat the persistent and often debilitating symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).

Active Release Techniques (ART): used to treat the tissues and tendons that cause CTS.
Cold Laser Therapy: can treat pain non-invasively at a cellular level using light energy to encourage the body’s natural healing, immune and anti-inflammatory responses.
Ultrasound Therapy: relieves pain by penetrating soft tissues to promote relaxation, stimulate blood flow, and aid in scar tissue breakdown.

The team at Performance Health & Wellness can assess and recommend the best plan for the treatment of your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

ART for Optimal Health

Active Release Therapy (ART) is a specialized movement-based massage technique used to treat a spectrum of injuries of soft tissue. We believe in measurable results offered by ART for a variety of conditions. The entire team at Performance Health & Wellness are ART certified at the highest Level and Dr. Christian Barney is a lead instructor on the board of education for ART.
