Relief for Hand and Wrist Pain
If your hands feel numb, tingly, or weak — especially at night or while typing — you may have carpal tunnel syndrome. This common condition can make everyday tasks like gripping, typing, or opening a jar painful and frustrating. At Sterling Orthopedic Pain and Spine, we offer advanced, non-surgical treatments to relieve pressure on the nerve and help you get back to living with less pain.
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve in your wrist becomes squeezed or irritated. This nerve runs through a narrow passage in your wrist called the “carpal tunnel.”
When swelling or pressure builds in that space, it can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand and fingers. Without treatment, symptoms often get worse over time.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
You may have carpal tunnel syndrome if you notice:
-
Tingling or numbness in your thumb, index, or middle finger
-
Hand weakness, especially when gripping objects
-
Pain that worsens at night or after repetitive hand use
-
A “pins and needles” feeling in your hand or wrist

FAQs About Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Is treatment painful?
Most treatments involve only mild discomfort. Numbing medicine is often used to keep you comfortable.
How soon will I feel relief?
Some patients notice improvement within days, while others may need a series of treatments for full results.
Will I need surgery?
Not always. Many patients find lasting relief with non-surgical treatments. Surgery is considered only if other options don’t work.
Are there risks with injections?
Mild soreness or bruising is the most common side effect. Serious risks are very rare.
Can carpal tunnel go away on its own?
Mild cases may improve with rest, but ongoing symptoms usually need treatment to prevent worsening.
