Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common nerve-related conditions, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the median nerve—which runs from the forearm into the hand—becomes compressed or irritated as it passes through the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in the wrist.

Common Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Repetitive hand and wrist movements – Typing, texting, writing, or using handheld tools
• Prolonged wrist flexion or extension – Poor ergonomics at workstations
• Inflammation and swelling – Arthritis, tendinitis, or fluid retention
• Injury or trauma – Fractures or sprains affecting wrist alignment
• Underlying conditions – Diabetes, thyroid disorders, and autoimmune diseases

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
• Weakness in the hand, causing difficulty gripping objects
• Pain that radiates from the wrist up the arm
• Increased discomfort at night, especially when sleeping with bent wrists

Many people with CTS struggle with daily activities like typing, lifting, or even holding a phone. While traditional treatments like wrist braces, steroid injections, and surgery exist, SoftWave Therapy is quickly emerging as a breakthrough non-surgical, non-invasive solution for lasting carpal tunnel relief.

How SoftWave Therapy Works for Carpal Tunnel Relief

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves that penetrate deep into the tissues of the wrist, forearm, and hand, stimulating a cascade of healing effects.

The Science Behind SoftWave for CTS

Flushing Out Trapped Inflammation – 

Reduces swelling around the median nerve to alleviate pressure

Improving Blood Flow & Circulation (Angiogenesis) – 

Restores oxygen-rich blood to irritated tissues

Activating and Migrating Stem Cells –

Encourages natural nerve and soft tissue repair

Stimulating Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) –

Modulates chronic inflammation, reducing pain at the source

Breaking Down Scar Tissue & Fibrosis –

Improves flexibility in the wrist, forearm, and hand

Enhancing Nerve Function –

Restores proper communication between the brain and hand muscles

Unlike steroid injections, which only provide temporary relief and can contribute to further tissue breakdown, SoftWave Therapy actively repairs and regenerates the damaged areas contributing to carpal tunnel symptoms.

Why SoftWave Therapy is a Superior Alternative to Surgery in Rochester NY

For severe cases of CTS, traditional medicine often recommends surgery, known as a carpal tunnel release procedure. However, surgery comes with:

• Extended recovery times – Weeks to months before regaining full hand strength
• Potential complications – Scarring, stiffness, or persistent numbness
• No guarantee of long-term relief – Some patients still experience symptoms after surgery

SoftWave Therapy provides an effective alternative, allowing individuals to experience pain relief and functional improvement without invasive procedures, downtime, or side effects.
