Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment In Brampton

Carpal tunnel syndrome, or CTS, refers to a painful condition that affects the movement of the wrists. This condition typically develops from repetitive movements gradually over time. The condition can be rather painful, unpleasant, and debilitating in extreme cases.

At Physiotherapy First, our Brampton physiotherapists offer carpal tunnel syndrome physiotherapy treatments and services. Our experienced physiotherapists work with you to determine the causes of your condition and develop the best approach for treatment and recovery.

What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

CTS occurs when there is damage to the transverse carpal ligament that leads to inflammation in the wrist.
It can also occur when the median nerve is compressed so that it cannot send and receive messages from the brain. As such, the “communications” between the nerve and the brain are reduced. As a result, the brain often interprets this as pain.
Damages to the transverse carpal ligament and the median nerve can occur from extreme impacts to the wrist area. Repetitive movements and motions could result in CTS when multiple movements and motions are performed simultaneously.
Medical conditions, including hypothyroidism, arthritis, and diabetes, can cause CTS. Pregnancy is also a common cause of CTS for some women.

How Do Physiotherapy Treatments Help With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Physiotherapy treatments and services for CTS are highly recommended when you want to avoid more invasive surgical procedures. Many patients notice a difference after a few treatments at Physiotherapy First in Brampton.

Common Physiotherapy treatment we use for carpal tunnel rehabilitation:

Manipulative Techniques

Massage therapy and manual manipulation of the muscles, tensions, and connective tissues in the wrist can help alleviate pain and discomfort.

Hot and Cold Therapies

Applying heat or cold to the wrist can be beneficial for some patients. The therapies can be used individually or alternated between, first applying heat, then applying cold, and so on.
