Revolutionizing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment: SoftWave Therapy at The Fix Chiropractic in Wilmington, NC

Published April 19th, 2024 by The Fix Chiropractic

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that can cause significant discomfort and impairment in hand function. Dr. David Russ at The Fix Chiropractic in Wilmington, NC, offers a groundbreaking approach to treating CTS without surgery. Through the use of SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology, combined with expert chiropractic care and ergonomic lifestyle recommendations, Dr. Russ has helped numerous patients overcome the debilitating symptoms of CTS.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. The carpal tunnel—a narrow, rigid passageway of ligament and bones at the base of the hand—houses the median nerve and tendons. Sometimes, thickening from irritated tendons or other swelling narrows the tunnel and causes the median nerve to be compressed.

The Anatomy of the Carpal Tunnel: The carpal tunnel is a small tunnel in the wrist, about an inch wide. The floor and sides of the tunnel are formed by small wrist bones called carpal bones, and the roof of the tunnel is covered by a strong band of connective tissue called the transverse carpal ligament.

Causes and Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:

  • Causes: CTS is often the result of a combination of factors that increase pressure on the median nerve and tendons in the carpal tunnel. This could be due to swelling, mechanical problems in the wrist joint, work stress, repeated use of vibrating hand tools, or the development of a cyst or tumor in the canal.
  • Symptoms: Symptoms usually start gradually, with frequent burning, tingling, or itching numbness in the palm of the hand and the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers. Some carpal tunnel sufferers may feel a need to "shake out" the hand or wrist. As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day and decreased grip strength.

Traditional Medical Treatments vs. SoftWave Therapy

Traditionally, CTS is treated with wrist splinting, medications, corticosteroid injections, and possibly surgery to relieve pressure on the median nerve. These methods, however, often provide only temporary relief and can have significant side effects or require a lengthy recovery period.

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology: A Non-Surgical, Non-Injection Breakthrough

Dr. David Russ’s approach using SoftWave TRT offers a non-invasive alternative that addresses the root causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:

  • Regeneration at the Cellular Level: SoftWave TRT uses shock waves to stimulate a cascade of biological responses, including the activation and migration of stem cells to the affected area. This promotes the natural healing and regeneration of nerve tissues.
  • Reduction of Inflammation: The therapy effectively reduces inflammation, which is a significant cause of median nerve compression.
  • Improved Blood Flow: Enhanced circulation in the wrist and hand improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients, facilitating quicker healing and recovery.
  • Pain Relief and Recovery of Hand Function: Many patients experience significant pain relief and a return of function without the need for invasive surgical procedures.

Dr. David Russ's Success with SoftWave Therapy

Numerous patients have even canceled their previously scheduled surgeries after experiencing significant relief from SoftWave treatments under Dr. Russ’s care. By integrating SoftWave TRT with chiropractic adjustments and advising on ergonomic modifications, Dr. Russ has helped patients not only relieve their symptoms but also prevent the recurrence of injury.
