Why SoftWave Therapy is a Game-Changer for Carpal Tunnel Relief in Rochester NY

Published February 28th, 2025 by Camarata Chiropractic

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common nerve-related conditions, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the median nerve—which runs from the forearm into the hand—becomes compressed or irritated as it passes through the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in the wrist.

Common Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Repetitive hand and wrist movements – Typing, texting, writing, or using handheld tools
Prolonged wrist flexion or extension – Poor ergonomics at workstations
Inflammation and swelling – Arthritis, tendinitis, or fluid retention
Injury or trauma – Fractures or sprains affecting wrist alignment
Underlying conditions – Diabetes, thyroid disorders, and autoimmune diseases

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
Weakness in the hand, causing difficulty gripping objects
Pain that radiates from the wrist up the arm
Increased discomfort at night, especially when sleeping with bent wrists

Many people with CTS struggle with daily activities like typing, lifting, or even holding a phone. While traditional treatments like wrist braces, steroid injections, and surgery exist, SoftWave Therapy is quickly emerging as a breakthrough non-surgical, non-invasive solution for lasting carpal tunnel relief.

How SoftWave Therapy Works for Carpal Tunnel Relief

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves that penetrate deep into the tissues of the wrist, forearm, and hand, stimulating a cascade of healing effects.
