Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief with SoftWave Therapy in Chandler, AZ

Published July 17th, 2025 by Bridge Wellness Center

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common nerve compression conditions in the upper extremities. It can cause persistent pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hands and wrists—impacting everything from work performance to simple daily activities.

At Bridge Wellness Center in Chandler, AZ, Dr. Matt McCutcheon and his team are helping patients find long-term, non-surgical relief from carpal tunnel symptoms using SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology—a breakthrough in regenerative medicine that stimulates natural healing at the cellular level.


What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into your hand, becomes compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in your wrist. This narrow passageway contains tendons and the median nerve, and any swelling or structural changes can put pressure on the nerve.


Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Common causes and contributing factors include:

  • Repetitive hand and wrist motions (typing, assembly line work, tool use)

  • Inflammation from tendinitis or arthritis

  • Wrist injuries or fractures

  • Pregnancy-related swelling

  • Diabetes or thyroid conditions

  • Genetics—some people naturally have a smaller carpal tunnel space


Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Patients often experience:

  • Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger

  • Weakness or difficulty gripping objects

  • Hand pain that worsens at night or with activity

  • Burning or “electric shock” sensations

  • Reduced fine motor skills


How SoftWave Therapy Helps Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive therapy that uses electrohydraulic, broad-focused acoustic waves to penetrate deep into wrist and hand tissues.

This stimulates a powerful cascade of biological repair processes to address the root causes of carpal tunnel symptoms—reducing inflammation, restoring nerve function, and repairing damaged tissues.


The Science Behind SoftWave for Carpal Tunnel Relief

SoftWave Therapy promotes healing through:

  • VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) – Encourages new blood vessel formation to improve circulation in the wrist and hand.

  • eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) – Enhances oxygen delivery to damaged tissues for faster recovery.

  • Neoangiogenesis – Creates new microcapillaries to nourish and heal compressed nerves.

  • Stem Cell Activation and Migration – Mobilizes the body’s own repair cells to regenerate connective tissue and reduce scar tissue formation.

  • PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen) – Supports DNA repair and tissue regeneration.

  • Toll-like Receptor Modulation – Reduces chronic pain signaling from irritated nerves.

  • Inflammation Modulation – Calms harmful inflammation without the side effects of medication.


Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Carpal Tunnel Patients

Patients at Bridge Wellness Center often experience:

  • Reduced pain, tingling, and numbness

  • Improved grip strength and hand function

  • Restored mobility and range of motion

  • Avoidance of steroid injections or surgery

  • Long-term relief with minimal downtime

Many notice improvement after the first session, with continued progress for weeks and months due to ongoing stem cell activity stimulated by SoftWave.


A Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Solution

SoftWave Therapy offers a safe alternative to carpal tunnel surgery, which can involve long recovery times and mixed outcomes. With no incisions, no injections, and no medications, SoftWave provides a gentle yet highly effective way to heal.
