Carpal tunnel syndrome affects the wrist and hand, often causing tingling, numbness, and discomfort. It develops when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, becomes compressed. Repetitive hand motions, prolonged wrist strain, or underlying health conditions can contribute to its development. Without proper management, symptoms may progress, making daily tasks challenging.
This condition primarily impacts the hand and wrist, leading to:
Carpal tunnel syndrome often results from repetitive wrist movements or pressure on the median nerve. Contributing factors include:
A focused treatment plan aims to reduce pressure on the median nerve, restore wrist function, and improve hand movement.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy helps ease wrist strain and promote nerve mobility. Techniques include nerve gliding exercises, wrist mobilization, and targeted strengthening to improve function and comfort.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy encourages tissue healing and reduces discomfort in the wrist and forearm. It may help stimulate circulation and reduce tightness around the carpal tunnel.
Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy can help reduce tension in the forearm and wrist muscles. It supports circulation, reduces stiffness, and helps ease nerve compression symptoms.
Custom Orthotics & Bracing
Wrist braces keep the hand in a neutral position, minimizing pressure on the median nerve. Custom orthotics may be used to improve posture and alignment during repetitive tasks.
Sports Injury Specialists
For athletes or active individuals experiencing wrist pain, tailored rehabilitation plans help correct movement patterns and reduce repetitive strain on the wrist.
Motor Vehicle Accident Care and WSIB Rehabilitation
If carpal tunnel symptoms began after a vehicle accident or workplace injury, rehabilitation care focuses on reducing nerve pressure and restoring normal function.
WSIB rehabilitation provides support for work-related wrist injuries, helping individuals recover strength and return to job duties safely.
To help avoid or reduce the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome:
We offer physiotherapy, shockwave therapy, massage therapy, bracing, and rehabilitation services to support carpal tunnel syndrome recovery. Our care aims to reduce discomfort, restore function, and improve wrist mobility.
If carpal tunnel syndrome is interfering with work or daily life, contact us to schedule an assessment. We’re here to support your recovery.
It’s caused by pressure on the median nerve, often due to repetitive hand use, poor wrist posture, injury, or health conditions like arthritis or diabetes.
Seek treatment if you experience ongoing numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand—especially if symptoms affect sleep or daily tasks.
Options include physiotherapy, shockwave therapy, massage, wrist bracing, and rehab programs tailored to your needs.
