Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Bellevue
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can be a debilitating condition, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the hands and fingers. At Endeavor Health and Pain Management, Dr. Zahirra Kara is dedicated to helping patients find relief from these symptoms and regain normal function. With our targeted treatment approach, you can overcome carpal tunnel syndrome and get back to enjoying your daily activities.
Recognizing the Symptoms
One of the most common signs of CTS is numbness and tingling in the hands and fingers, particularly in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. As the condition progresses, you may experience weakness and difficulty gripping objects. These symptoms often worsen at night, disrupting sleep and impacting overall quality of life.
Targeting the Root Cause
While carpal tunnel syndrome is often associated with repetitive wrist movements, the root cause of your symptoms may actually lie elsewhere. Problems in the elbow, armpit, or neck can mimic CTS symptoms, making an accurate diagnosis crucial for effective treatment. At Endeavor Health and Pain Management, we take a comprehensive approach to evaluating your condition, ensuring that we target the true source of your discomfort.
Our Innovative Treatment Approach
Dr. Kara uses cutting-edge techniques to treat CTS, including laser therapy and Active Release Techniques (ART). Laser therapy helps to reduce pain and inflammation while promoting healing in the affected tissues. ART targets muscle adhesions and nerve entrapments, restoring normal movement and alleviating symptoms. Together, these treatments provide a powerful, non-invasive solution for carpal tunnel relief.
Home Hacks to Alleviate Pain
Dr. Kara suggests several easy exercises and techniques that patients can perform at home to alleviate carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. Daily stretching of the forearms, wrists, and fingers is crucial for maintaining mobility. Using a tool like an arm roller for self-massaging tight forearm muscles can also provide significant relief.
Patient Success Stories
We’ve seen remarkable results with our carpal tunnel treatment approach. One memorable case involved a woman who was scheduled for surgery but decided to try our care first. After just four weeks of treatment, she experienced at least a 50% reduction in her symptoms, allowing her to manage her condition while awaiting surgery.
We’ve also helped numerous patients with pregnancy-related and work-induced CTS, enabling them to find relief and regain function without the need for invasive procedures.
