Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Fort McMurray

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition affecting the wrist and hand, caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel—a narrow passageway in the wrist. This compression can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness, impacting daily activities and overall quality of life.

Several factors can contribute to CTS, including:

• Repetitive hand movements (typing, texting, assembly line work)
   
• Wrist injuries or fractures
   
• Swelling from conditions like arthritis or pregnancy
   
• Poor wrist posture or prolonged bending
   
• Medical conditions such as diabetes or thyroid disorders
   

Common signs of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome include:

• Tingling or numbness in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers
   
• Burning or aching pain in the wrist or hand
   
• Weakness or clumsiness when gripping objects
   
• Symptoms often worsen at night or with repetitive use
   

At Wood Buffalo Massage & Osteopathic Therapy, we offer targeted treatments to relieve CTS symptoms by:

• Reducing inflammation and muscle tension around the wrist
   
• Improving nerve mobility and circulation
   
• Correcting posture and wrist alignment to prevent further compression
   
• Supporting overall wrist and arm function to restore strength and flexibility
   

Our skilled therapists design personalized care plans that address your specific symptoms and lifestyle.

• Take frequent breaks from repetitive tasks
   
• Keep wrists in a neutral position; avoid prolonged bending
   
• Use ergonomic tools and wrist supports as needed
   
• Apply cold packs to reduce swelling
   
• Perform gentle wrist stretches recommended by your therapist
   

If you experience persistent numbness, weakness, or pain in your hand or wrist, it’s important to seek assessment and treatment early. Untreated CTS can lead to permanent nerve damage.
