Reduce Wrist Pain with Non-Surgical Carpal Tunnel Treatment

If you’re struggling with wrist pain, hand numbness, or tingling fingers, you’re not alone. These symptoms are often caused by carpal tunnel syndrome, one of the most common nerve compression disorders in the U.S. Affecting more than 8 million Americans each year, carpal tunnel syndrome can make everyday tasks—like typing, gripping objects, or even sleeping—painful and frustrating.

At Allied Pain & Spine Institute, with multiple locations across the greater San Jose area, we specialize in non-surgical treatments that relieve pain, restore function, and help patients return to their daily activities without invasive procedures or long recovery times.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway in the wrist that houses the median nerve—responsible for sensation and movement in parts of the hand. When this nerve becomes compressed due to swelling, repetitive motion, or inflammation, it can lead to:

• Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, or middle fingers
• Weakness or difficulty gripping objects
• Pain that radiates from the wrist up the arm
• Nighttime hand pain or stiffness

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), carpal tunnel syndrome is more prevalent among people who perform repetitive hand motions—such as those who use keyboards, power tools, or musical instruments daily. The condition is also common among individuals with diabetes, arthritis, or thyroid imbalances.

Non-Surgical Treatments for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

While surgery can be effective for severe cases, most patients experience significant relief from non-invasive treatments. At Allied Pain & Spine Institute, our team of specialists uses advanced, evidence-based methods to relieve pressure on the median nerve, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility—without the need for surgical intervention.

• Wrist Splinting and Bracing: Wearing a wrist brace, especially at night, can keep your wrist in a neutral position to prevent nerve compression. This simple, non-invasive method often provides early symptom relief and supports healing.
• Corticosteroid Injections: Targeted injections around the median nerve can reduce inflammation and swelling, offering fast and effective relief that may last several months.
• Physical Therapy and Stretching Exercises: Our specialists teach personalized wrist and hand exercises to strengthen supporting muscles, improve flexibility, and relieve nerve pressure.
• Nerve Gliding Techniques: Nerve gliding exercises help the median nerve move freely within the carpal tunnel, reducing stiffness and improving comfort.
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy harnesses your body’s own healing growth factors to promote tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation in the wrist—an innovative, natural alternative to surgery.
• Shockwave Therapy: This non-invasive treatment uses acoustic energy to stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation, often resulting in faster pain relief and improved hand strength.

The Benefits of Non-Surgical Care

Non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome offer several advantages:

• No incisions or downtime – resume normal activities immediately
• Reduced risk of complications compared to surgery
• Natural healing and nerve recovery
• Personalized treatment plans for long-term relief

In fact, research published in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy found that conservative treatment approaches are successful in up to 80% of mild to moderate cases.
