Carpal tunnel syndrome can be painful as the nerves are hypersensitive. Acuhealth specialises in using acupuncture to ease this pain.

The main symptoms of Carpal tunnel syndrome are numbness and a tingling sensation in the thumb, index finger, and the radial half of the ring finger.

Over the years, Acuhealth have found that acupuncture is particularly useful for reducing inflammation, reducing pain and repairing any microscopic damage in the area. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine may also be recommended to complement the treatment, depending on the severity of the injury.
