How we approach this at University Physical Medicine
Full upper-extremity neurological exam — many 'carpal tunnel' patterns actually start at the neck.
Soft-tissue work along the median nerve path (forearm, elbow, shoulder, neck).
Wrist mobilization and ergonomic coaching for the actual aggravators.
Coordination with a hand specialist when the EMG/NCV findings warrant it.
Individual results may vary. Our providers will recommend a plan based on your evaluation.
Questions patients ask about this
Will I need surgery?
Most mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel cases respond to conservative care. Severe cases with significant motor loss often do better with surgical release. The exam tells us where you fall.
