Relief for carpal tunnel syndrome in North Scottsdale at Zamora acupuncture

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Carpal Tunnel occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it travels through the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel is about as wide as a thumb and lies at the wrist, extending into the palm. When the nerve is compressed, due to overuse in work, sports, or any other repetitive wrist activities, pain is felt accompanied by stiffness, tingling and numbness. Most find that symptoms worsen in the night while trying to sleep or during long hours of repetitive use.

How can acupuncture help? 
Acupuncture promotes blood flow and reduces pain, numbness, and tingling. Dr. Zamora has extensive experience treating Carpal Tunnel syndrome with acupuncture. Patients also find improved sleep with reduced pain and inflammation as an added benefit with treatments.

What is the experience like during an acupuncture treatment? 
During an initial session at Zamora Acupuncture, you will walk into the sparkling office of Dr. Kourtney Zamora, she will listen to your concerns and gain an understanding of your health history. She will then come up with a treatment plan tailored for you and proceed to treatment if it's a good fit. She carefully places the fine needles at strategic points along your body. Patients find it surprising how little you can feel the needle insertions. As the needles settle in, you can feel a wave of relaxation. It can feel as if each tiny prick is untying the knots of stress and pain that have formed over time. Upon leaving, most patients feel relaxed and ready for the rest of the day.
 
What are patients saying?
Patients are saying things like, “As I continued my treatments with Kourtney, the tightness in my arm began to dissipate, and the numbness and tingling from the carpal tunnel lessened and lessened.”
