Introduction

Welcome to Redding Integrative Medicine, your trusted provider of alternative and natural medicine in Oakland, CA. We specialize in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome and peripheral nerve conditions. Our dedicated team of professionals is committed to utilizing advanced techniques and comprehensive care to help you find relief and restore optimal hand functionality.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that affects the hand and wrist, resulting in pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the narrow passageway called the carpal tunnel, becomes compressed or irritated. This compression can be caused by various factors, including repetitive hand movements, wrist injuries, obesity, and certain medical conditions.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis

At Redding Integrative Medicine, we prioritize a thorough evaluation to accurately diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome and peripheral nerve conditions. Our experienced healthcare professionals will assess your symptoms, medical history, and perform a physical examination. We may also recommend additional diagnostic tests such as nerve conduction studies and electromyography to assess nerve function and rule out other underlying conditions.

Personalized Treatment Approach

Once a diagnosis is confirmed, our team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. We focus on using alternative and natural medicine approaches, aimed at addressing the root cause of your condition and promoting long-term healing.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

In many cases, carpal tunnel syndrome can be effectively managed without surgery. Our comprehensive approach includes:

• Hand and Wrist Exercises: Our experts will guide you through specific hand and wrist exercises to improve flexibility, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the surrounding muscles.
• Physical Therapy: We offer targeted physical therapy sessions to improve range of motion, reduce pain, and enhance overall hand functionality.
• Acupuncture: Our trained acupuncturists can help alleviate pain and promote healing by stimulating specific acupuncture points related to the affected nerves.
• Herbal Medications: We may utilize herbal supplements and natural remedies known for their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
• Ergonomic Modifications: Our team can provide guidance on ergonomic adjustments to your workplace or daily routines to minimize strain on your hands and wrists.

Advanced Surgical Interventions

In cases where non-surgical treatments do not provide sufficient relief, our highly skilled surgeons specialize in advanced carpal tunnel release procedures. The goal of surgery is to alleviate pressure on the median nerve by splitting the carpal ligament, enlarging the carpal tunnel, and providing the nerve with more space to function properly. Our surgeons utilize minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, ensuring faster recovery times and minimal scarring.

Postoperative Care and Rehabilitation

Following carpal tunnel surgery, our dedicated team will provide comprehensive postoperative care to support your recovery process. This may include:

• Pain Management: We will ensure you receive appropriate pain medications to keep you comfortable during the healing process.
• Physical Therapy: Our rehabilitation specialists will guide you through exercises and therapies to promote healing, restore range of motion, and regain strength.
• Follow-up Appointments: We will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and make necessary modifications to your treatment plan.
