Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm to the hand, becomes compressed. This can cause pain, tingling, and numbness in the affected hand. While there are several treatment options available, laser therapy has been shown to be more effective than surgery and other methods in treating carpal tunnel syndrome.
One of the main advantages of laser therapy is that it is non-invasive. This means that there is no need for anesthesia or incisions, which reduces the risk of complications. Additionally, laser therapy targets the tissue with high-intensity light, which helps to reduce inflammation and promote healing. In contrast, surgery involves making an incision in the wrist and cutting through tissue, which can damage healthy tissue and lead to complications.
Moreover, laser therapy is typically more affordable than surgery. It is also a shorter procedure, with most treatments lasting only 10-15 minutes. Surgery, on the other hand, can take several hours and require a significant amount of recovery time. For these reasons, laser therapy is an ideal treatment option for those with carpal tunnel syndrome.
