Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Physiotherapy

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is one discomfort you shouldn’t disregard, especially if you live in a bustling city like Toronto where the demands of a busy lifestyle can exacerbate this aggravating condition. The syndrome is due to pressure on the median nerve— responsible for sensations to the palm side of your thumb and fingers—causing numbness, tingling, and at times, intense pain. The incidence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is notably significant in urban settings like Toronto, where occupational factors and physically demanding chores trigger and intensify this predicament.

We utilize a broad spectrum of services and treatment approaches, such as patient education, therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and electrotherapy to alleviate your symptoms and restore your hand and wrist function. Our physiotherapy can undoubtedly help you regain control, escape the restricting pain, and enjoy a lifestyle no longer hindered by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Symptoms

Common Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) tends to show itself subtly. You may first notice it as numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. This discomfort may extend upwards towards the arm and is often worse at night. As time progresses, symptoms may evolve into constant discomfort.

Symptom Variability

Not everyone experiences CTS in the same way. The intensity and frequency of symptoms can vary considerably. You might feel a burning sensation or sharp shooting pains in the hand, or you might find your grip weakening resulting in frequently dropped objects.

Warning Signs for Professional Help

Don’t ignore these symptoms while hoping they will disappear. If left untreated, CTS can lead to permanent nerve damage and muscle deterioration. It’s especially critical to seek help if you’re losing sleep due to pain or if you’re having trouble with everyday tasks.

If you recognize any of these symptoms, it’s time to discuss them with a professional. Our team is equipped with knowledge and experience to effectively detect, diagnose, and treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. We’re here to help you restore your hand functionality and return to your daily activities pain-free.

Causes

Understanding the causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is vital as it aids in effective treatment and prevention. CTS, a common condition that affects hand function, can result from a variety of factors and can significantly impair the quality of life.

Common Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Repetitive hand motions: Frequent and repetitive hand activities can lead to excessive pressure on the median nerve, causing CTS.
  • Health conditions: Issues such as diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, and rheumatoid arthritis can lead to CTS.

Common Factors of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Lifestyle Factors: Obesity, smoking, and high salt intake might increase one’s risk of developing CTS.
  • Occupational Factors: Jobs that involve repetitive hand movements or the use of vibrating tools can increase the risk.

Treatments for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

At the forefront of innovative treatments for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at the Push Pounds Sports Medicine Centre, we utilize a range of modalities that not only manage your symptoms but also target the root cause of the condition.

Viscosupplementation & Hyaluronic Acid Injection have proven remarkable in providing immediate relief from pain and discomfort. It accomplishes this by bringing back the normal cushioning of your carpal tunnel.

Lastly, recent advances in Regenerative Medicine have brought forth non-surgical treatment options. These include DUROLANE, SYNVISC, and NSTRIDE INJECTIONS, working to enhance your body’s healing capabilities.

Orthopaedic Surgery and Interventional Radiology offer another line of defense. It’s not always the first option, but provides significant relief for severe cases and restores normal function.

For long-term management, a multi-pronged approach with Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, RMT Massage, Massage Therapy, and Acupuncture is effective. A tailored program focusing on strengthening and joint mobility ensures continued freedom from pain and stiffness.

Thus, we tackle Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with a comprehensive and individually tailored approach, keeping your goals and lifestyle at the forefront.

I had an injury in my disc that was life altering. I had pain 24/7 and I could no longer live my normal life. I couldn’t sit at work, no more sports, gym, exercise and I gained a lot of weight. I went to many physio sessions, chiro’s, RMT, cold bats, etc at other clinics, but I was still in pain. I decided that I needed a real plan to get control over my life. I asked around and I was referred to Studio Pushpounds. My friends indicated NBA players, EPL, NHL players fly and/or come here for treatment when they are in Toronto. If the best of the world trusts this clinic, then it would surely be good enough for me. My doctor was Dr. Darrin Germann. Dr. German is my hero. He spent time to properly diagnose my issue and create a gameplan that was altered after every session based on progression. Every time I entered his room, he was reviewing our notes, and like a mad genius planning out that day’s sessions. He knows each case personally, and I could tell he was invested in my health. And in turn, I put in my 100% efforts to what he wanted me to do not just in the clinic, but outside of it. I’m now back in the gym, swimming, and pain free. If you are dedicated to fixing your problems, I highly recommend you see Dr. Germann. Dr. Germanns character is class, and he is very professional. The man is a stud and a great inspiration and a role model you need when going through injuries. He does what he preaches, and it shows in his own physique and lifestyle in terms of diet and workouts. He is going to do big things in his field and if you are lucky enough to see him for your treatment, he is the miracle you have been looking for. Thank you, Doc., You already know how much my life quality has changed.

The Push Pounds Sports Medicine Team is incredible! We researched four different clinics before choosing Push Pounds and deciding on Josh Irwanto as the main physiotherapist for our teen’s ACL recovery. The attention and level of care from the start of our recovery program was remarkable. Josh and Peter (second physiotherapist team member) took the time to explain the recovery plan while demonstrating compassion and understanding along the complete process. Our child felt motivated, supported and driven to work hard. Our family has immense gratitude towards the Push Pounds team and their knowledge + professionalism towards their patients recovery goals. Our teen is back playing on the field healthier and stronger than ever. A million thanks to Josh and his entire team!

If you’re recovering from an injury of ANY kind, look no further, Push Pounds/Studio Athletica is the ONLY place to go. After a nasty proximal humerus fracture, I was at a loss when it came time to start rehab. After endless searching and coming across Studio Athletica online, I found Physiotherapist Josh and decided to start my healing journey. Josh (alongside every single one of the support staff) has been an integral part of my healing not only physically, but mentally as well. You don’t really know the effects of a bad injury has on your entire wellbeing until it happens to you. And at 35 and never having broken a bone, I thought I was in the clear. ;) Josh’s dedication to my progress each week was what kept my spirits up. He knew when to push me and when not to and provided endless encouragement along the way. Physiotherapy included a combination of treatments on the table as well as mobility and strengthening in the gym. After months of this combo and being diligent about my at-home exercises, I’m confident in saying that I have my arm/shoulder back and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I must add.. during the time I was rehabilitating my shoulder, I had some foot injuries along the way. After an assessment from Josh during an appointment, he said that Chiropractor Dr. Germann was the person I should see. Everything that I said about Josh above can be echoed about Dr. G. Another gem of a human and incredibly knowledgeable about the craft of healing. Safe to say a have two working feet and back to walking many, many km’s a day. Long story short, if you want a dedicated team, top of the line treatment options, and a gym with all the equipment you could ever need, Push Pounds/ Studio Athletica is the place for you.

Late last year I developed achilles pain that was impacting my ability to play high-level sports so I was referred to Dr. Darrin Germann at Push Pounds/Studio Athletica. I saw Dr. Darrin weekly and the sessions were split between gym exercises (the facility is brand-new and has a fully equipped gym with turf) and treatments which allowed for a more holistic approach to my recovery. Dr. Darrin always had a game-plan ready for the day based on how I was feeling that week and adjusted as needed. He got me back on my feet playing on the national team for Ultimate frisbee within 4 months! The entire team is welcoming, friendly and well-organized. I can’t recommend it enough!
