A typical recovery plan involves corrective surgery. But there are non-invasive solutions out there too, such as carpal tunnel massage therapy.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is often associated with long-term repetitive motions or strain, such as working at a computer or assembly line for hours at a stretch. However, genetics such as hereditary small carpal tunnels and diseases such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis may also contribute to the symptoms.
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME MASSAGE
Massage therapy for carpal tunnel is the most non-invasive, cost-efficient and effective long term treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Massage therapy addresses the inflammation, pain and numbness by softening and lengthening the muscles and fascia of the neck, shoulder, upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand. Depending on the type of massage you receive the fees may be between $40 to $100 per hour. Some of this expense may be covered by your insurance.
During a massage to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the therapist will use comprehensive deep tissue work that will help to release adhesions, trigger points, and tension in the soft tissue of the shoulder, arm, wrist, and hand. It will also be helpful to work with the pectoral and subscapularis muscles to release the medial rotation of the shoulder.
A massage session generally lasts 60-90 minutes and may be a full body with more emphasis on the affected arm or the session may be designed specifically for the neck, shoulder, and arm to address the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Many clients experience carpal tunnel relief after the first session, however for long term relief it will generally take 4 to 6 sessions. This will depend on the severity and length of time of symptoms. It should be noted that feeling relief of your symptoms does not mean that the condition has been completely cured so be sure to continue consulting with your medical doctor.
