Carpal Tunnel & Laser Therapy

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This compression leads to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. CTS is often linked to repetitive hand movements, prolonged wrist flexion, arthritis, or underlying medical conditions such as diabetes. Traditional treatments like splinting, corticosteroid injections, and surgery may offer relief but often fail to promote true healing at a cellular level.

At Healios Laser Therapy, we provide a non-invasive, drug-free solution using a Class IV cold laser device, clinically proven to reduce inflammation, accelerate nerve healing, and restore wrist function naturally.

Our advanced cold laser technology utilizes optimal wavelength infrared light and deep tissue penetration to target the compressed median nerve, improve circulation, and enhance cellular regeneration—without the need for medications or invasive procedures.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway in the wrist surrounded by bones and ligaments. When swelling or inflammation reduces space within the tunnel, it compresses the median nerve, leading to persistent discomfort and reduced hand function. Common causes of CTS include:

  • Repetitive Hand Motions – Frequent activities such as typing, sewing, or assembly line work that strain the wrist.

  • Wrist Injuries or Fractures – Trauma that alters the carpal tunnel structure and increases nerve pressure.

  • Arthritis & Joint Inflammation – Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis that cause swelling and tissue thickening.

  • Fluid Retention & Pregnancy – Hormonal changes that lead to swelling and increased pressure in the wrist.

  • Diabetes & Nerve Damage – Metabolic conditions that make nerves more susceptible to compression.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers

  • Pain or burning sensation in the wrist and palm

  • Weakness and difficulty gripping objects

  • Increased discomfort at night or after prolonged hand use

  • Feeling of hand clumsiness or dropping items frequently

Cold laser therapy helps relieve these symptoms by reducing inflammation, stimulating nerve repair, and restoring mobility to the affected hand and wrist.

How Our Laser Therapy Device Works

Our FDA-cleared Class IV cold laser device delivers high-powered, continuous wave infrared light that penetrates deep into the wrist and carpal tunnel without causing heat damage. This patented wavelength system optimizes tissue penetration and cellular stimulation, directly targeting the compressed median nerve, inflamed tendons, and irritated soft tissues to promote healing and long-term pain relief.

The laser’s infrared light stimulates mitochondrial activity, increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—the energy source for cells—thereby enhancing nerve function, reducing inflammation, and accelerating tissue repair.

Cold laser therapy helps relieve these symptoms by reducing inflammation, stimulating nerve repair, and restoring mobility to the affected hand and wrist.

Key Benefits of Laser Therapy for Carpal Tunnel

  • Deep Tissue Penetration to Target the Median Nerve
    The laser penetrates the carpal tunnel area, reaching the inflamed tendons and the compressed median nerve. This ensures the treatment targets the root cause of carpal tunnel syndrome—nerve compression—providing fast and effective relief.

  • Reduces Inflammation and Relieves Median Nerve Compression
    Chronic inflammation in the carpal tunnel can aggravate nerve compression and worsen symptoms. The cold laser reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines, easing pressure on the median nerve and restoring normal nerve function (Shooshtari et al., 2018).

  • Non-Invasive Pain Relief for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
    Unlike surgery or corticosteroid injections, laser therapy is a non-invasive and painless treatment that provides immediate relief without downtime, risks, or side effects.

  • Promotes Nerve Regeneration and Strength Restoration
    The cold laser accelerates nerve regeneration, helping restore sensation, strength, and functionality in the hand. This is especially important for patients with chronic or long-standing carpal tunnel syndrome.

  • Improves Blood Flow and Oxygenation in the Wrist
    By enhancing circulation, the laser increases the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the median nerve and surrounding tissues while flushing out metabolic waste, reducing stiffness and promoting faster recovery (Markovic et al., 2013).

Clinical Evidence for Carpal Tunnel

Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of cold laser therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome:

  • A randomized controlled trial found that patients with carpal tunnel syndrome who received low-level laser therapy (LLLT) experienced significant pain relief and improved hand function compared to those receiving placebo treatments. (researchgate.net)

  • Another study concluded that cold laser therapy enhances blood circulation in the wrist, promoting nerve regeneration and reducing swelling. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

  • Research on nerve compression injuries showed that laser therapy accelerates tissue healing, aiding in faster recovery from repetitive strain injuries. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

These findings confirm that cold laser therapy not only relieves pain but also enhances long-term wrist function and recovery.

Why Our Laser Therapy Device is Unique

Unlike traditional low-level lasers, which provide surface-level stimulation, our Class IV device penetrates deep into tissues to deliver comprehensive relief. Its super-pulsed technology ensures powerful results without discomfort or skin damage. Sessions are fast and efficient, typically lasting only a few minutes, with many patients experiencing noticeable improvement after the first session.

In addition to treating carpal tunnel syndrome, this versatile device is effective for a wide range of conditions, including repetitive strain injuries, tendinitis, and nerve compression syndromes.
