At CMS Physiotherapy, we specialize in treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a common condition that causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist. CTS occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the narrow carpal tunnel in the wrist, often leading to discomfort and impaired hand function. Our physiotherapy treatments are designed to relieve pressure on the median nerve, reduce inflammation, and improve hand and wrist strength, enabling you to return to your daily activities pain-free.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve at the wrist, which can occur due to repetitive movements, poor posture, or underlying medical conditions. The median nerve controls feeling and movement in the thumb and first three fingers, and when compressed, it can lead to the following symptoms:
Common Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
Numbness, tingling, or a “pins-and-needles” sensation in the fingers, especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers
Weakness in the hand or difficulty gripping objects
Pain in the wrist, hand, or forearm, particularly at night
Decreased coordination or fine motor skills in the affected hand
Clumsiness while typing, using a phone, or doing tasks that require hand movements
We use evidence-based physiotherapy methods to alleviate CTS symptoms and restore normal wrist and hand function:
๐๏ธโ๏ธ Wrist and Hand Strengthening Exercises to enhance muscle support and reduce pressure on the median nerve
๐คฒ Nerve Gliding Exercises to improve nerve mobility and reduce compression
โก Manual Therapy to address muscle tightness, joint restrictions, and improve mobility
๐ง Stretching and Flexibility Techniques to relieve tightness in the wrist and forearm muscles
๐ Ergonomic Advice on posture, wrist positioning, and activity modifications to avoid aggravating symptoms
๐ก Splinting (if required) to keep the wrist in a neutral position for pain relief and healing
๐ง Activity Modification Techniques to prevent further irritation of the median nerve
