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.

Causes:

Repetitive hand and wrist movements (typing, assembly work, lifting)

Inflammation or swelling in the wrist from injury or arthritis

Prolonged wrist flexion or poor ergonomics

Pregnancy-related fluid retention

Symptoms

Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers

Pain or discomfort in the hand and wrist, especially at night

Weakness in the hand or difficulty gripping objects

Tingling that may travel up the arm

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Without a doubt this is the best Physical Therapy experience I have ever had (and I have had several). I have worked with Ayoub Zianai (AZ) and Hesham Abdel-Salam and they are both consummate professionals. A very thorough evaluation was done to start and a treatment plan reviewed. So much more extensive than other PT facilities which just take the referring Dr's prescription and assign exercises. Each week we discuss what is happening and modifications are made if necessary. Both practitioners are easy to speak with and very caring. I highly recommend TheraCave!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Theracave enough! I came in with herniated discs in my neck that were causing arm pain and making it difficult to work out at all. Hesham took a truly one-on-one approach, helping me understand where the pain was coming from and working on strengthening the areas of my back that needed support. He told me he’d get me back in the gym, and after about 18 sessions, I’m slowly getting back to running and lifting weights with so much more confidence.

I also worked with Ayoub, who is lovely, attentive and patient. Both made me feel heard and supported throughout the process. The medical massages made a huge difference, with some of my pain going away and never returning, and the dry needling helped loosen things up.

What stands out most is their gentle, science-backed and detail-oriented approach. It’s clear they understand the body and take the time to address what’s actually causing your symptoms. If you’re working toward a goal and want truly personalized care, I highly recommend them!
