Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful condition that affects between 3 to 6 percent of people in the US each year. The hallmark symptom is pain, tingling, and numbness of the hands and fingers caused by excessive pressure on the median nerve. While some may find relief through self-care methods, such as taking breaks from repetitive motions or wearing wrist splints at night, others experience more serious symptoms that require medical treatment.
Doctors often recommend laser therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome due to its high success rate and minimal invasiveness. Laser therapy works by using light energy to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow in the affected area, allowing for greater comfort and mobility within a few days after treatment.
Many patients also appreciate the alternative to prescription anti-inflammatory drugs or injections because it is noninvasive, fast-acting, and effective in alleviating symptoms with no risk of adverse side effects. Notably, laser therapy leaves open the option of further treatments if needed. For many, laser therapy is thus an ideal treatment choice for carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms.
