Effective Solutions for Your Carpal Tunnel

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) can be a debilitating condition, causing significant pain and discomfort in the hand and wrist. At Manhattan Sports Therapy, we understand the impact this condition can have on your daily life and are committed to providing effective, non-invasive treatments to help you regain function and relief. Let’s explore the various treatments available for carpal tunnel syndrome and how our expert team, led by Dr. Miro, can help you.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into the palm of your hand, becomes compressed at the wrist. This compression can lead to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and fingers. Various factors, including repetitive hand movements, wrist anatomy, and certain health conditions, can contribute to the development of CTS.

Accurate Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment

Effective treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Miro at Manhattan Sports Therapy conducts a comprehensive assessment to determine the exact site of compression or dysfunction of the median nerve. This includes evaluating your pain symptoms, range of motion, and hand grip strength. Additionally, Dr. Miro will discuss your work and leisure activities to identify any that may trigger or aggravate your condition.

Non-Invasive Treatment Options

We prioritize non-invasive treatments to alleviate pain and restore normal function. Here are some of the innovative therapies and techniques we use:

1. Hand Therapy and Carpal Tunnel Exercises

Hand therapy focuses on soft tissue mobilization to relieve the inflamed median nerve. Specific exercises tailored to your condition can help reduce pressure on the nerve and improve wrist strength and flexibility. Regular hand therapy can significantly enhance recovery and prevent further injury.

2. Cold-Laser Light Therapy

Cold-Laser Light Therapy uses low-level lasers to reduce inflammation and promote healing. This painless treatment increases blood flow and accelerates tissue repair, providing relief from pain and swelling associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.

3. Active Release Technique® (ART)

The Active Release Technique® (ART) is a hands-on therapy that targets the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, tendons, and nerves. By applying precise pressure and movement, ART can break up scar tissue and adhesions that contribute to nerve compression, improving mobility and reducing pain.

4. Graston Technique®

The Graston Technique® involves using specialized stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas of soft tissue fibrosis and chronic inflammation. This technique helps break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, enhancing the healing process and restoring normal function to the wrist and hand.

Preventive Measures and Activity Modifications

In addition to treatment, Manhattan Sports Therapy provides guidance on activity modifications to help you recover without completely pausing your work or leisure activities. Dr. Miro will offer strategies to reduce strain on your wrists, such as ergonomic adjustments and proper hand positioning during tasks. These modifications can significantly aid in preventing the recurrence of carpal tunnel symptoms.

The Benefits of Non-Invasive Treatments

Choosing non-invasive treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome offers numerous benefits:

  • Faster Recovery: Non-invasive treatments typically have shorter recovery times compared to surgical options.
  • Reduced Risk: There are fewer risks and complications associated with non-invasive therapies.
  • Cost-Effective: Non-invasive treatments can be more affordable than surgery and involve less downtime.

Having performed surgery for decades my neck And back have been damaged. I can honestly say that Rachel has kept me functioning at a high level. Nobody else was. Despite being a surgical candidate which is refused to have she managed to overcome all of my problems. The office is also immaculately clean ( I am a germaphobe). Chiro in the past was hit or miss. Sometimes it helped and sometimes it actually made things worse. This has never happened with Rachel. I always feel better. Guaranteed. She will bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule. She is a rising star.

The entire staff is very helpful, kind, and extremely efficient. If it wasn't for Dr. Rolland Miro I strongly feel the bursitis in my shoulder would still be in major pain. If you have shoulder pain, rotator cuff issues, or bursitis don't hesitate, RUN to see this man! I came to Manhattan Sports Therapy skeptical because I had already visited two other physical therapist who were not getting me better. I had pain for 9 months until visiting MST. Miro was patient with my healing process and was always transparent when telling me what stages I was in my recovery. Now I am fully recovered back to pumping iron and putting on a backpack without pain. Thank you to everyone in that office for making my experience great from start to finish.

I was having severe inner hip and lower back pain for months. Every step I took was painful. I couldn't run, bike, swim or even attempt a workout. I started seeing a PT twice a week for a month and nothing happened, in fact, my pain increased. So, I decided to try another Physician and I found Manhattan Sports Therapy and Dr. Rolland Miro. After my first appointment, I knew I made the right choice. I started seeing Dr. Rolland twice a week. After my first week, I could already feel a HUGE difference. After week three, the pain in my hip was completely gone. It's now been two months and as I continue my treatment, I'm feeling better and better. I ran five miles for the first time in over a year last week! I highly highly recommend Dr. Rolland. He's the best at what he does and he's very knowledgable when it comes to health and fitness all around.
