Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition that can not only be very painful but can seriously impact your hand strength and your normal grip as well. It is usually associated with repetitive motions, often a job-related function that must be performed repeatedly throughout the day. In the past, treatment options were limited to pain medications or surgery.
Recently, a very appealing option has emerged that does far more than mask your pain for a few hours and doesn’t require any kind of invasive surgery. Advanced laser therapy is quickly becoming an ideal treatment approach for people who suffer from CTS and would like to be free of the pain and inconvenience.
Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Repetitive hand movements and overused muscles, ligaments, and tendons throughout the arm and hand are quite often the culprits for developing CTS. Something as simple as constantly turning a screwdriver or some other hand tool could easily lead to CTS if performed repeatedly. Youngsters might develop CTS from using a game controller for hours on end while playing video games. There are other causes as well.
For example, if you have a family history of CTS, you may be genetically predisposed to developing the condition yourself. People who have bone disease or arthritis might also be subject to developing CTS. It’s possible to go through major hormonal changes in your body, which leave you suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. You could also develop the condition because of a simple wrist injury that worsens over a period of time, and leaves CTS in its wake.
How laser therapy can provide relief
Rather than masking your pain as medications do, advanced laser therapy can promote nerve regeneration, to help banish the condition over the long term. Low-level laser therapy reduces the inflammation in the hands and wrists, relieves pain associated with the condition, and stimulates the healing of tissue that has been damaged.
One of the amazing capabilities of laser therapy is that it can help the body to regenerate nerves, by stimulating the natural body processes that are responsible for nerve regeneration. Specific light wavelengths penetrate deep into body tissue to generate nerve growth factors, and it provides a boost to the natural slow-moving healing process. Once nerves are healed, communication is restored between the hands and the brain, and that helps alleviate your symptoms.
