Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Surrey, BC
Numbness, tingling and a grip that's started letting you down — carpal tunnel syndrome is common, and early conservative care can help many people avoid surgery.
What it feels like
- Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index and middle fingers
- Symptoms that wake you at night or flare while driving or holding a phone
- A weakening grip — dropping things more than usual
- Relief when you shake the hand out
Why it happens
Carpal tunnel syndrome is compression of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist. Repetitive hand and wrist use, sustained wrist positions and a few health factors can all contribute to the pressure.
How we can help
We assess the nerve, the wrist and the demands of your day to understand what's contributing for you. Your practitioner then builds a care plan around your specific case, decided case by case. Many milder and moderate cases respond well to conservative care — and we'll be straight with you about when a medical opinion is the right next step.
Common questions
Will a wrist splint fix it?
Night splinting helps many people with symptoms, particularly early on, but it addresses the symptom rather than everything feeding it. Assessment looks at the wrist alongside the neck and the demands of your daily tasks, because those often drive the load.
Can carpal tunnel symptoms actually come from my neck?
Yes. Nerve irritation higher up the arm or at the neck can produce hand symptoms that closely mimic carpal tunnel. Telling the two apart changes the plan entirely, which is why we trace the nerve along its whole path rather than treating the wrist by default.
