Carpal Tunnel and Physical Therapy

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a serious therapeutic problem that can be significantly debilitating for a lot of folks and may limit their quality of life.  Many times people elect to have surgical release of the carpal tunnel without attempting conservative management.  While surgery can be effective there can be complications or side effects.

Now for the good news!  An article published in 2011 demonstrated that using the correct combination of therapeutic interventions can lead to resolution of carpal tunnel syndrome!  The conclusion of this study suggested that a combination of ultrasound therapy, massage, and kinesiotherapy led to long term relief of carpal tunnel syndrome.  In addition, a study published in 2012 showed that splinting and exercise can lead to decreased swelling within the carpal tunnel and relieve symptoms.
