Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common peripheral nerve entrapment condition in adults — affecting an estimated 3–6% of the general population according to research published in Muscle and Nerve (2002). The numbness, tingling and pain in the hand that characterises the condition is caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist — and it has a significant impact on sleep, work capacity and daily function.

While carpal tunnel syndrome is frequently managed with wrist splinting or referred for surgical decompression, strong evidence supports physiotherapy as an effective non-surgical treatment — particularly for mild to moderate presentations. At Interlink Physiotherapy we help patients across Hamilton and Ancaster address carpal tunnel syndrome with an evidence-based approach that avoids unnecessary surgery in many cases.
