Carpal Tunnel Syndrome develops when nerves in the wrist are compressed, leading to tingling, weakness, or loss of grip. Our care focuses on ergonomic strategies, mobility, and supportive adjustments.
A Bit of History
Carpal tunnel syndrome was first described in medical literature in the mid-19th century, when physicians observed numbness and weakness in factory workers performing repetitive tasks. Early treatments included splinting, stretching, and sometimes surgery. In the 20th century, as typewriters and later computers became common, carpal tunnel complaints grew, linking technology with repetitive strain. Non-surgical care became increasingly important, emphasizing ergonomics, posture, and strengthening. Today, care often includes nerve gliding, rehabilitation strategies, ergonomic coaching, and sometimes massage. These methods reflect an evolution from simple splints to comprehensive approaches that balance relief and prevention.
