Irritation to the median and/or ulnar nerves results in pain, tingling, loss of grip strength and difficulty with hand function. Carpal tunnel is perhaps the most common diagnosis associated with wrist pain, and is the result of irritation to the median nerve that is located on the inner aspect of your arm and houses other tendons and muscle. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome and you do not want to risk the side effects associated with steroid injections or surgery, the team at Modern Movement Medicine in Wilsonville can help! We offer non-invasive alternative treatments to steroid injections and surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome
