Physical therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome focuses on relieving pressure on the median nerve, reducing pain, and improving wrist and hand function. Treatment typically includes gentle stretching and strengthening exercises for the wrist, hand, and forearm, along with techniques to improve posture and ergonomic adjustments to daily activities. Therapists may also use modalities like ultrasound, nerve gliding exercises, or wrist splints to reduce inflammation and enhance mobility. Early intervention through physical therapy can help manage symptoms effectively and may prevent the need for more invasive treatments.
