Carpal Tunnel Treatment in Greenville, SC
Carpal Tunnel Treatment at IHP Greenville — expert acupuncture for chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. Dr. Hendry, DAOM. Call (864) 365-6156.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) — compression of the median nerve at the wrist producing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers — is one of the most common upper extremity nerve entrapments. At Integrative Health Partners, acupuncture and dry needling offer a conservative, evidence-based alternative or adjunct to wrist splinting, corticosteroid injection, and surgery.
How Carpal Tunnel Treatment Works
CTS treatment uses acupuncture at local wrist points (PC7, HT7, LU8) combined with forearm flexor dry needling (pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis) and proximal nerve release techniques at the cervical spine and thoracic outlet if double-crush syndrome is suspected. Electroacupuncture at 2 Hz supports nerve regeneration and remyelination.

Thyroid status, pregnancy, and diabetes — common CTS risk factors — are relevant to Dr. Hendry's assessment.
