OVERVIEW

ABOUT CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Carpal tunnel usually introduces itself in the middle of the night. You wake up with a hand that's numb or buzzing and shake it out to get the feeling back. During the day it turns up when you're holding your phone, gripping the wheel, or doing anything that keeps the wrist bent for a stretch.

What's behind all of it is a squeezed nerve. On the palm side of your wrist, a main nerve heads into the hand through a snug channel it shares with the tendons that move your fingers. Crowd that channel and the nerve gets pinched, and that reads as tingling, numbness, and weakness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.

Caught early, most carpal tunnel settles down without surgery. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of East Mesa, AZ, we work on getting the pressure off that nerve and your hand back to normal.

We take pressure off the nerve with splinting, activity changes, and nerve gliding, and go after whatever's crowding the channel.

Eric and his staff were awesome. I'm 71 years old and still very athletic. They did a fantastic job getting me back to the sports I love. I think they are the best physical therapy place in Phoenix

These people are wonderful. I had A fall down some stairs and had trouble with movement in my right knee. Hey they did a complete evaluation and then came up with a plan that worked me hard enough for progress but didn’t leave me sore. I started being able to bend my knee 90 degrees and after five weeks we were at 115 degrees! I highly recommend their friendly knowledgeable staff.

What Are You Experiencing?

You might not know what treatment you need, as most people don’t. What you do know is that something hurts. That’s enough for us to start. Fill out this quick form and just tell us how it feels. We’ll look it over and reach out to talk through what could be going on and what might help.

LOW HIGH

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain feels like too much to handle, please don’t wait around. Call 911 or get to the nearest hospital. Once the emergency part is taken care of, we’ll be here to help you with longer-term support.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

Maybe it’s not stopping you from getting through the day, but it’s always there feeling sharp, dull, or just plain annoying. Let us know what it feels like. We’ll work with you to figure out why it’s happening and how to make things easier.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

A little soreness or stiffness might not sound like much, but it can still mess with your day. Those small aches are often your body’s way of saying something needs attention. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help keep it from turning into something worse.

Answering Your Questions

Why does it wake me up at night?

Most of us sleep with our wrists curled up. This is one of the positions that squeezes the nerve, so the numbness and tingling spike. A splint that keeps the wrist straight while you sleep usually makes a real difference right off the bat.

Can it actually get better without surgery?

A lot of the time, yes, especially when you catch it early, or it's still mild to moderate. Splinting, a few habit changes, and some nerve gliding settle plenty of cases. Surgery's generally held back for when the gentle stuff hasn't done enough.

Is a store-bought wrist brace good enough?

It might help some, but the angle it holds your wrist at is what really counts. A brace that leaves the wrist bent can miss the whole point. We make sure yours keeps the wrist neutral, since that's what actually takes the pressure off the nerve.

Could the numbness be coming from somewhere else?

It can. A pinched nerve up in the neck or an irritated one at the elbow can look a lot like it, and those need different care. Carpal tunnel has its own pattern in the thumb-side fingers, so we nail down where it's really coming from before we treat it.

What happens if I put off treatment?

Some cases just hold steady, but carpal tunnel can creep along and get worse. Leave it long enough and the nerve can take lasting damage and the hand can weaken, both a lot harder to undo. Getting it looked at early is the safer bet.

CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic." - Josh Adams
