Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatments (CTS) in Scottsdale

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve in your wrist gets squeezed. This nerve passes through a tight space called the carpal tunnel. When that space becomes swollen or narrow, the nerve gets pressed and can’t work properly.

This leads to pain, tingling, and numbness in the thumb, fingers, and part of your hand. The pain often starts at the wrist and may travel up the arm or down into the fingers. Most people feel it most in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Over time, it can make everyday tasks difficult.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms

• Numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
• Tingling or “pins and needles” in the hand
• Pain in the hand, often worse at night
• Weak grip or dropping things
• Pain in the wrist that spreads up the arm
• Fingers feeling stiff in the morning

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Scottsdale Treatments

We offer a range of treatments in Scottsdale to reduce swelling, calm the nerve, and improve hand function:

Epidural steroid injections

These may help when neck or spine nerve pain makes CTS worse. They reduce swelling and improve nerve signals to the hand.

Trigger point injections

These relax tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, or arms that might add pressure on your wrist nerves.

EMG testing

This test checks how well the nerves and muscles in your hand and arm are working. It helps us find out where the problem is.

Rehabilitation services

Special stretches and exercises help build strength and improve motion in your wrist and hand—often helping avoid surgery.

Important Notes:

• The first and most important step is getting the right diagnosis. We always start with a full check to see what’s causing your symptoms and find the best treatment for you.
• If the nerve is badly hurt or the pain won’t go away, surgery may be needed to take pressure off the nerve.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Causes

• Doing the same hand movements over and over
• Long hours of typing or tool use
• Wrist injuries or swelling
• Conditions like arthritis or diabetes
• Swelling during pregnancy
• Genetics or naturally narrow carpal tunnels
