When a Wrist Brace Isn't Enough

Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the tissues in the narrow tunnel at the base of your palm swell and press on the median nerve. Repetitive hand use, pregnancy, diabetes, thyroid issues, and arthritis can all play a role.

Wrist splints help many people at first, and steroid injections can bring temporary relief. But for a lot of patients the numbness keeps coming back, and the next step offered is surgery.

Shockwave therapy fills that gap. It's a non-invasive treatment for mild to moderate carpal tunnel that targets the swelling and nerve irritation behind your symptoms, with no incision and no time off work.

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • Waking up at night with numb or tingling fingers
  • Shaking out your hand to get the feeling back
  • Numbness in your thumb, index, and middle fingers
  • Tingling while driving, typing, or holding your phone
  • Dropping things or fumbling with buttons and small objects

If a few of these sound like you, you may be a good candidate for shockwave therapy. Most people with carpal tunnel notice symptoms at night first.

How Shockwave Therapy Relieves Carpal Tunnel

Reduces Swelling

Shockwave therapy calms inflammation inside the carpal tunnel. Less swelling means less pressure on the median nerve.

Supports Nerve Recovery

Acoustic waves stimulate the body's nerve repair process, helping the irritated median nerve recover so numbness and tingling can fade.

Improves Circulation

Compression cuts off blood flow to the nerve. Shockwave therapy improves local circulation, delivering the oxygen and nutrients the nerve needs to heal.

Carpal Tunnel Treatment in Portland, Oregon

Multnomah Medical Clinic has provided shockwave therapy for nerve and soft tissue pain since 2019. From our clinic in Happy Valley, we see patients from Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Gresham, Clackamas, and across Oregon and Southwest Washington.

Every plan starts with an exam to confirm that carpal tunnel is what's causing your symptoms. If your carpal tunnel is severe, for example with constant numbness or weakness in the thumb muscles, we'll tell you honestly and help you find the right next step.

Numbness in your feet too, or in both hands? That can point to peripheral neuropathy rather than carpal tunnel. See how we treat nerve pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about shockwave therapy treatments at our clinic.

Can shockwave therapy help carpal tunnel syndrome?
Yes. Clinical trials show shockwave therapy can reduce numbness, tingling, and pain and improve hand function in mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. For severe cases with constant numbness or muscle weakness, surgery may still be the best option, and we'll tell you if that's the case.
How is this different from carpal tunnel surgery?
Surgery cuts a ligament in your wrist to make more room for the nerve. Shockwave therapy is non-invasive: it reduces swelling inside the tunnel and supports nerve recovery, with no incision, anesthesia, or recovery period.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients complete about 6 sessions. We'll build your plan at your consultation based on how severe your symptoms are and how long you've had them.
Is the treatment painful?
Carpal tunnel is treated at gentle settings. Most patients feel a light tapping, sometimes with brief tingling in the fingers. No anesthesia is needed.
Should I keep wearing my wrist splint?
Usually, yes. A night splint keeps your wrist in a neutral position while you sleep, and it works well alongside shockwave therapy.
How quickly will I see results?
Many patients sleep better and notice less nighttime numbness within a few weeks. Nerves heal gradually, so improvement typically continues for a few months after treatment.
Do I need a nerve conduction test first?
It's not always required, but it helps. If you've had one, bring the results. It shows how severe the compression is, which helps us decide if shockwave therapy is a good fit.
Is it covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. We're happy to help you check your benefits, and affordable payment plans are available.
Who should not have shockwave therapy?
It's not recommended during pregnancy, over areas with cancer or active infection, or for people on certain blood thinners. We'll review your health history at your consultation.
