Acupuncture for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel at the wrist. This condition can disrupt sleep, and is often most painful first thing in the morning. It’s more commonly experienced by women than men, and can occur temporarily during pregnancy.

Acupuncture for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Numbness, tingling, burning, swelling of the hand and fingers
  • Pain that is worse on waking and can disrupt sleep
  • Pain sometimes radiates up the arm to the elbow and shoulder
  • Pain is made worse by use of the hands

How can acupuncture help carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)?

Research findings for the effects of acupuncture on mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome are encouraging as compared with steroid treatment and splinting.

Research from 2020Trusted Source found that people with CTS who had acupuncture treatment for 4 weeks noticed improvements in symptoms such as pain, numbness and tingling, and muscular weakness.

These improvements continued 3 months after the treatment. These results may indicate that acupuncture therapy can provide lasting relief from symptoms. Researchers concluded that acupuncture is a safe and suitable method for treating CTS.

Acupuncture treatment for CTS

Your acupuncturist will take a detailed medical case history in order to identify systemic factors contributing to the CTS – such as fluid retention. The acupuncture treatment will be designed to treat any root systemic factors and deeper causes of the problem, as well as the local pain.

Acupuncture channels cross over the carpal tunnel region. Using points on these channels can help to disperse stagnation, aid circulation and relieve nerve discomfort.
