Longview Carpal Tunnel Treatment

When people hear the phrase “carpal tunnel,” they often think of the pain, numbness, or tingling that occurs when a major nerve (the median nerve) of the hand is squeezed or compressed. However, the carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway in the wrist that protects this nerve and the flexor tendons that bend the fingers and thumb. Carpel tunnel syndrome occurs when the tissues of the carpel tunnel swell, putting pressure on the median nerve.

Dry Needling

Dry needling targets trigger points and tight muscles in the wrist and forearm, promoting muscle relaxation, reducing compression on the median nerve, and providing effective relief from pain and numbness associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy focuses on releasing tension in the muscles and soft tissues surrounding the wrist and forearm, reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and providing lasting relief from pain and discomfort
