If you’ve ever woken up with your hand numb, tingling, or painful, and had to shake it just to get it to “wake up”, you might be dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome.
And if you’re like most people, you’ve probably tried splints, braces, pain relievers… maybe even considered injections or surgery.
But what if there was another way?
What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Really?
Carpal tunnel happens when the median nerve gets compressed as it travels through the wrist. This can cause:
- Numbness or tingling in the fingers (especially the thumb, index, and middle finger)
- Pain or weakness in the hand
- Waking up at night needing to shake the hand out
- Trouble gripping or holding objects
It can be incredibly frustrating, and many people live with it far longer than they need to.
What Is Sound Wave Therapy?
At Balanced Chiropractic, we use a technology called Shock Wave Therapy, but we like to call it Sound Wave Therapy, because that’s exactly what it is.
This non-invasive treatment uses acoustic pressure waves that are pulsed into the affected tissue. These waves stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
How Does It Help Carpal Tunnel?
Sound Wave Therapy helps by:
- Breaking up scar tissue and adhesions around the nerve
- Increasing blood flow to the area
- Reducing inflammation and pressure in the carpal tunnel
- Stimulating nerve regeneration and healing
That’s right, nerve growth. One of the exciting benefits of sound wave therapy is that it may help stimulate nerve recovery, something traditional methods don’t really focus on.
And it does all of this without surgery, injections, or downtime.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
That depends on the severity and how long you’ve had the condition. Some people feel relief after just a few sessions. Others may need a longer course of care.
We evaluate every patient to determine the best plan for your unique case.
A Natural Way Forward
If you’re tired of the cycle – bracing, resting, medicating, only for the symptoms to return – it’s time to try something different.
