Hand Therapy
Posted by No Carpal Tunnel Blog
I have found that most of my healing and insight was gained while under care of hand therapists. Doctors just examined my hands and gave a diagnosis and a prescription for hand therapy.
California Pacific’s Hand Therapy in the San Francisco Area has helped me heal, and I can recommend them 100%. They will help you understand your condition and provide a path to healing. They helped with exercises, therapy, ergonomics, splints, and work tips.
Do not delay contacting a hand therapist, the sooner you do it, the faster you will heal.

The flexor pollicis longus and the flexor carpi radialis tendons lie outside, but adjacent to, the carpal tunnel and may play a role in median nerve compression if inflamed. Narrowing of the carpal tunnel by inflammation and/or edema of the contents creates compression on the median nerve. This results in symptoms of pain, parasthesia or numbness in the median distribution of the hand, which is often reported to be worse at night. The median nerve sensory distribution is normally described as the palmar surface of the hand, including the first, second, third, half of the fourth digit and the medial two-thirds of the palm. Dorsally, the second, third and half of the fourth digit contain median nerve distribution, but typically not the dorsum of the hand. There are variations of the median nerve cutaneous distribution, including larger surface areas or smaller surface areas than what is discussed as typical.
