Carpal tunnel isn’t just a pain in the wrist; it’s an all-day, life-encompassing pain that keeps you up at night and keeps you from completing even the most basic day-to-day tasks. Before you resign yourself to wearing a brace every day, even when you sleep, or more aggressive options like surgery; consider ESWT as a non-invasive, surgery free regenerative medicine treatment option. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy uses targeted pulses of energy to stimulate healing within the body. In the case of carpal tunnel, ESWT can help decompress the median nerve where it passes through the narrow passageways of the wrist. 
We know that it is impossible to live your life to its fullest when you suffer from numbness, pain, and tingling in your hands and fingers. And sometimes it is just impossible to avoid the causes of carpal tunnel like repetitive movements, swelling and fluid buildup, and certain medical conditions like diabetes.
We also know that treatment for carpal tunnel doesn’t have to be surgical, require steroid shots, or keep you in a brace for the rest of your life. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy targets the specific location with the device used on top of the skin during your in-office visits. The shockwaves help to reduce the pressure on the nerve that runs through your carpal tunnel. As the shockwaves act on the tendons in and around the carpal tunnel, they promote a more natural and relaxed state; thereby reducing or eliminating the pain you feel in your hand and fingers.
