Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment at Capstone Physical Therapy & Fitness

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. It occurs when one of the major nerves to the hand - the median nerve - is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist.

At Capstone Physical Therapy & Fitness, we understand how carpal tunnel syndrome can impact your daily life. Simple tasks like typing, gripping a steering wheel, or even sleeping can become challenging. That's why we're committed to providing expert care to help you regain comfort and function in your hands and wrists.

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach

When you choose Capstone for your carpal tunnel treatment, you're choosing a team that combines years of experience with the latest in physical therapy techniques. Here's what you can expect:

Thorough Assessment

We start with a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors. This helps us understand the root cause of your condition and develop a tailored treatment plan.

Customized Treatment Plans

No two cases of carpal tunnel syndrome are exactly alike. That's why we create individualized treatment plans designed to address your specific needs and goals.

Advanced Techniques

At Capstone, we stay at the forefront of physical therapy advancements. We may incorporate techniques like ultrasound therapy or laser therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Range of Effective Treatments

Our approach combines various techniques to provide comprehensive care:

Manual Therapy: Our skilled therapists use hands-on techniques to improve mobility in your wrist and hand, reducing pressure on the median nerve.
Splinting and Bracing: We may recommend a wrist splint to keep your wrist in a neutral position, especially while sleeping, to alleviate pressure on the median nerve.
Therapeutic Exercises: We'll guide you through exercises designed to strengthen the muscles in your hands, wrists, and forearms, improving your grip strength and dexterity.
Patient Education: We'll teach you about proper ergonomics and techniques to perform daily activities without aggravating your symptoms.

CAPSTONE PT

Patient Success Stories

Capstone is the best. It’s like having a personal therapist. Best evaluation I ever had. Very dedicated to improve your situation. They listen and custom fit the exercises.

Mary Anne Wylie Patient

I have gone to Capstone for my PT on two different injuries over the past 6 years. They are large enough to offer all the equipment and services needed in the PT world today, yet small enough to treat you as an individual. I use the location at SPIN and it is very clean. The techs and staff are welcoming & professional. I would highly recommend Capstone to anyone looking for personal attention with a plan designed to your individual needs.

Dave Pogson Patient

Everyone at Capstone was super professional, knowledgeable and really listened to my feedback. I feel my injury recovery was accelerated through Capstone’s advice and the expertise of my Physical Therapist. The environment is ultra clean and spacious with many support equipment devices readily available. Excellent care here!

Kam Salisbury Patient

Mark and Capstone were an absolute game-changer for me. They proved instrumental in my journey from a nagging knee injury sustained during last year’s NYC marathon to achieving a sub-4 hour marathon milestone in Berlin this year. Mark’s diagnostic precision and customized rehabilitation plan ensured a pain-free training season. However, it’s Mark’s unwavering commitment and sports science knowledge that truly set him apart. Under his guidance, I not only conquered my injury, but also gained insights into injury prevention, enabling peak performance. Thanks to Mark, I achieved what once felt impossible. For those seeking a physical therapist who seamlessly blends expertise with genuine care, Capstone is a testament to his passion for making goals a reality.

Brian Patient

I went to Capstone after having knee replacement surgery. Mark and his staff in Southampton and Philadelphia are very professional, and knowledgeable. At the same time, somehow they manage to make physical therapy enjoyable. I would highly recommend Capstone, and I would certainly go there should I need physical therapy again.

Christine Hill Patient

This is my third experience at Capstone over as many years. I’ve seen Mark for a serious fall, post knee replacement & most recently, for shoulder pain. I’m an active 71 y.o. who likes to move, and with Mark’s help, I intend to keep on moving! Mark is a true professional & compassionate person whose understanding of the kinetics of the human body is on a par, if not surpasses, some physicians I’ve encountered.

Lori Mu Patient

My husband and I are new to the Northeast and found ourselves in need of physical therapists. After a disappointing experience at another provider, we found Capstone. We are so glad we did. We always received personal service, and never felt rushed at Capstone. The entire staff was 5 star. If you're looking for personalized care - not a rushed physical therapy factory - look no further than Capstone.

Paul Ferdinand Patient

Mark and the entire team were great. They were able to diagnose my sports injury and had an action plan ready in no time. It's so comforting to know that you're passionate experts in here. Would definitely recommend

Kam Salisbury Patient

Went to Capstone with some nerve pain in my left side hip radiating all the way to my foot. I went in thinking I'd have to make an appointment or even wait for insurance ok, but I was evaluated and received my first treatment that afternoon. My therapist Jacqueline put me on track with the right stretches and exercises at the facility and at home to get me feeling better with time and patience. Everyone here is personable, upbeat and experienced. My only regret was trying to work thru the pain and not going to them sooner.

Ron Long Patient

Came in for lower back and glut pain. Received amazing treatment that helped improve my situation drastically. Their customer service is immaculate. They explained every step of the way and allowed plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Love this place. I definitely recommend giving them a shot.

Jesus Disla Patient

Simply the best Physical Therapy you’ll ever receive. If you have any kind of physical issues you need to call Katie and make and appointment. Mark and his crew sure know how to make you feel welcome. They are very professional and the facility is clean and organized. You will be stronger and healthier immediately.

Kim Romani Patient

Capstone is the best. It's like having a personal therapist. Best evaluation I ever had. Very dedicated to improve your situation. They listen and custom fit the exercises. Brian was caring and attentive to your needs.

Mary Anne Wylie Patient

There is no one as good as Mark in the area. He is a natural. Do not hesitate to choose Capstone for your pain relief/ recovery. They are a very kind, inviting group too. I can't explain how important it is to look forward to your appointments- calming and inviting.There is no one as good as Mark in the area. He is a natural.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does carpal tunnel treatment typically take?

Treatment duration varies depending on the severity of your condition and how well you respond to therapy. Some patients see improvement in a few weeks, while others may need several months of treatment.

Will I need surgery for my carpal tunnel syndrome?

Many cases of carpal tunnel syndrome can be effectively treated with physical therapy alone. However, in severe cases or when conservative treatments don't provide relief, surgery might be recommended. We'll work closely with your doctor to determine the best course of action.

Can I do anything at home to help my carpal tunnel syndrome?

Yes! We'll provide you with a home exercise program and ergonomic advice tailored to your specific needs. Consistent practice of these exercises and following our recommendations can significantly support your recovery.

Is physical therapy painful for carpal tunnel syndrome?

Physical therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome should not be painful. You might experience some discomfort during certain exercises or manual therapy techniques, but this should be mild and manageable. Our therapists are trained to work within your comfort level and will adjust treatments as needed to ensure your comfort while still promoting healing.

Can carpal tunnel syndrome come back after treatment?

While proper treatment can effectively manage carpal tunnel syndrome, there is a possibility of recurrence, especially if underlying risk factors persist. That's why we focus not just on treating your current symptoms, but also on education and prevention strategies to help you maintain long-term wrist health. We'll teach you how to recognize early signs of recurrence and provide strategies to prevent future issues.
