Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where pressure on the median nerve in the wrist causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where pressure on the median nerve in the wrist causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers. It often results from repetitive movements or wrist strain. Symptoms typically worsen with activity and can interfere with hand function.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is commonly caused by repetitive wrist movements, prolonged pressure on the wrist, or underlying health conditions like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. Other risk factors include pregnancy, obesity, and occupations involving repetitive hand motions.

We are committed to personalizing treatment plans based on what is best for every individual’s UNIQUE circumstances to include symptoms, budget, lifestyle, and goals. Conservative (non-surgical) care is effective in resolving pain and injuries most of the time.
We will evaluate your health history, symptoms, and conduct functional movement tests to help determine the severity of your condition. We may use our patented 3D mobility health assessment tool to objectively measure and baseline your range of motion and stability of joints.
If your condition qualifies for conservative care options, we will present a treatment plan that includes only those modalities proven to be effective in treating your condition. This may include shockwave, PRP, light therapy, and fascial manipulation. You will be provided with at least treatment plan options and timelines with transparent out of pocket costs to you.
More than 62% of chronic and over 78% of acute back pain is resolved with conservative care delivered over a period of time mutually agreed to fit your schedule. Conservative care treatments work best when spread out over a 3 to 6-week period to allow adequate healing between treatment modalities
If your symptoms and condition is not eligible for conservative care, or conservative care did not produce the desired outcomes, we start with an expert/accurate diagnosis from our medical doctor pain specialists. Our medical director (6-time patented medical device inventor) will personally conduct a 90-minute comprehensive evaluation to include reviewing available imaging resulting in an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan options.
Our goal is to resolve pain, improve strength, and improve range of motion without surgery. We are consistently successful in achieving this in over 90% of cases. In those rare cases in which surgery is necessary we will guide you by finding the right surgeon we trust for your particular injury and circumstances. We are your independent experts and not financially motivated to conduct surgeries.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition resulting from compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness. Integrative and regenerative medicine therapies can offer effective treatment options. Here’s a summary of proven therapies and related studies for carpal tunnel syndrome:
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain.
Q: How does shockwave therapy help with carpal tunnel syndrome?
A: ESWT can help by reducing pain and promoting healing through improved blood flow and cellular repair in the affected area.
Red Light Therapy (or Low-Level Laser Therapy, LLLT) uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.
Q: What benefits does red light therapy offer for carpal tunnel syndrome?
A: Red light therapy can reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and enhance healing in the carpal tunnel area.
Inflammation Programs include dietary changes, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments aimed at reducing systemic inflammation.
Q: How do inflammation programs help with carpal tunnel syndrome?
A: Reducing overall inflammation through diet and supplements can decrease symptoms and support recovery by addressing systemic inflammatory factors that contribute to CTS.
Hands-On Medical Massage involves techniques to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and support healing.
Q: How does hands-on medical massage aid in treating carpal tunnel syndrome?
A: Massage therapy can alleviate symptoms by reducing muscle tension around the wrist and improving blood flow, which helps reduce pressure on the median nerve.
Sleep Programs focus on improving sleep quality, which can impact overall health and inflammation.
Q: Why are sleep programs important for carpal tunnel syndrome?
A: Poor sleep can exacerbate symptoms and slow recovery. Improving sleep quality through behavioral and lifestyle interventions can help manage pain and inflammation associated with CTS.
For treating carpal tunnel syndrome, what are the benefits of integrative and regenerative therapies?:
These therapies can be used individually or in combination to provide a comprehensive approach to managing and treating carpal tunnel syndrome.
When seeking information on regenerative and integrative therapies for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), patients often have several common questions. Here’s a comprehensive guide to frequently asked questions about therapies such as red light therapy, shockwave therapy, bioidentical hormone therapy, sleep studies, and inflammation therapy:
Red Light Therapy (or Low-Level Laser Therapy, LLLT) uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate tissues and promote healing.
Red light therapy can help reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and enhance tissue repair in the carpal tunnel area. It improves cellular function and promotes healing of the median nerve.
Shockwave Therapy (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, ESWT) uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in the affected area.
ESWT can reduce pain and promote healing by improving blood flow and stimulating cellular repair in the carpal tunnel. It is particularly useful for reducing symptoms when conservative treatments are insufficient.
Study: A study published in Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research (2018) found that ESWT significantly improved pain and function in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Study: Research in Clinical Journal of Pain (2019) reported that ESWT effectively reduced symptoms of CTS and improved functional outcomes compared to conventional treatments.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy involves using hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body to address hormonal imbalances.
While bioidentical hormone therapy is not a primary treatment for CTS, it may help if hormonal imbalances contribute to inflammation and nerve compression. Hormonal balance could support overall healing and reduce symptoms.
Sleep Studies assess sleep patterns and disorders that might affect overall health and pain perception.
Poor sleep quality can exacerbate pain and delay recovery. Addressing sleep disorders through sleep studies can improve overall pain management and recovery by ensuring better rest and reducing systemic inflammation.
Inflammation Therapy includes dietary changes, supplements, and lifestyle modifications aimed at reducing systemic inflammation.
Inflammation therapy can help manage carpal tunnel syndrome by reducing overall inflammation, which may alleviate pressure on the median nerve and improve symptoms. Anti-inflammatory diets and supplements can complement other treatments.
These therapies can be used alone or in combination to provide a comprehensive approach to managing and treating carpal tunnel syndrome.
