What's Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition where the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into your hand, becomes compressed as it passes through a tight space in your wrist known as the carpal tunnel. Over time, this pressure causes symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning sensations, weakness, and pain in the hand or fingers. Many people also struggle with nighttime pain, difficulty gripping everyday objects, or dropping things unexpectedly.

Unlike ordinary sore wrists, CTS stems from nerve compression—not just muscle or joint strain. That’s why symptoms often feel deeper, sharper, or more persistent, especially for those whose lifestyles involve repetitive hand use like typing, caregiving, or cooking.

Why Traditional Treatments Don’t Always Work

Managing CTS typically starts with rest, wrist braces, ergonomic changes, and gentle physical therapy. While these are helpful, they often only provide short-lived relief. Here’s why:

  • Braces restrict motion but don’t address the underlying nerve irritation.
  • Resting or taking a break may reduce symptoms temporarily—but as soon as regular activity resumes, the pain often returns.
  • Over-the-counter painkillers or anti-inflammatories can dull the ache but don’t promote actual healing, and long-term use can come with side effects.
  • Physical therapy and stretching help improve mobility, but they don’t always reach the inflammation deep inside nerve tissues.

In more challenging cases, medical or even surgical options are suggested. But surgery isn’t always desirable or accessible—and for many, the thought of invasive treatment brings anxiety, recovery time, and no guaranteed long-term comfort.

A Science-Backed Approach for Deeper Relief

Because many of these traditional solutions fall short, more people are turning toward innovative, non-invasive methods that work at a cellular level. Rather than just masking pain, these approaches aim to help your body heal by targeting factors like inflammation, blood flow, and nerve repair.

One such method involves red and near-infrared light therapy—a technique used in clinical and therapeutic settings that stimulates the body’s own repair mechanisms. Over time, this kind of therapy has shown promise for improving nerve health, reducing swelling, and restoring better function.

Why Infrawrap™ Might Be the Right Choice

That’s where Infrawrap™ comes in. Designed especially for people living with CTS, it combines the power of red and near-infrared light with a comfortable, wrist-wrapping design. It’s not just another brace—it’s a therapeutic tool that supports your body’s natural repair processes.

With Infrawrap™, you don’t need to choose between restrictive braces or invasive procedures. Instead, you can opt for a scientifically grounded solution that fits into your day—whether you’re typing, cooking, or relaxing in the evening.
