Carpal Tunnel
Carpal Tunnel
Experiencing numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand or fingers—especially while working, typing, or sleeping? You may be dealing with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the wrist. At Theracave in Fort Lauderdale, we help patients manage and recover from Carpal Tunnel through personalized physical therapy focused on reducing symptoms, relieving nerve compression, and restoring wrist and hand function.
Carpal Tunnel is common among people who use their hands for repetitive tasks—whether it’s office work, manual labor, or frequent phone or tool use. Left untreated, it can affect grip strength and coordination, interfering with your ability to perform everyday activities. Early intervention is key for long-term relief and avoiding more invasive treatments.

Q&A
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through a narrow passageway in the wrist (the carpal tunnel), becomes compressed. This leads to symptoms like numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and fingers.
Can Carpal Tunnel be treated without surgery?
Yes. In many cases, symptoms can be managed effectively with physical therapy, wrist splinting, ergonomic changes, activity modification, and nerve gliding exercises. Surgery is only considered when conservative treatments fail.
How do I know if my hand pain is Carpal Tunnel or something else?
Carpal Tunnel pain is usually concentrated in the thumb, index, and middle fingers, and is often worse at night or during repetitive hand use. A proper diagnosis from a healthcare provider is important to rule out other conditions like arthritis or nerve issues in the neck.
How long does recovery take with physical therapy?
Many people see improvement within 4–6 weeks of starting physical therapy, especially when combined with ergonomic corrections and splint use. More chronic cases may take longer but can still be managed without surgery.
