Non-Surgical & No Injections Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief with SoftWave Therapy in Calgary at Natural Way Chiropractic

Published May 1st, 2025 by Natural Way Chiropractic

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common nerve entrapment conditions, affecting millions of people who rely on their hands for work, hobbies, or daily activities. It can make even simple tasks like typing, gripping a steering wheel, or holding a phone painful and frustrating.

At Natural Way Chiropractic, Dr. Kale Matovich and his team offer SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology—a non-surgical, drug-free approach that’s helping patients in Calgary find lasting relief and restore hand and wrist function naturally.


What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve—which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand—becomes compressed or irritated as it passes through the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in the wrist. This compression leads to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers.


Common Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Repetitive motions (typing, gripping, or assembly line work)

  • Prolonged wrist flexion or extension

  • Inflammation or swelling of the tendons or tissues in the wrist

  • Wrist trauma or fractures

  • Pregnancy-related fluid retention

  • Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or hypothyroidism


Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

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

  • Weak grip strength or frequent dropping of objects

  • Hand or wrist pain that worsens at night

  • Burning or “electric” sensations in the fingers

  • Difficulty with fine motor tasks (writing, buttoning, etc.)

Left untreated, CTS can lead to permanent nerve damage and muscle atrophy in the hand.


How SoftWave Therapy Helps Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves, delivered via a broad focused energy shockwave, to stimulate healing at the cellular level. Unlike cortisone injections, medications, or surgery, SoftWave is a non-invasive, regenerative approach that supports long-term recovery and nerve repair.


Scientific Mechanisms of SoftWave for CTS Relief:

1. Reduction of Inflammation

SoftWave regulates toll-like receptors and calms overactive inflammatory responses, relieving swelling around the median nerve within the carpal tunnel.

2. Improved Blood Flow and Circulation

SoftWave increases VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) and eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) to promote angiogenesis and improved oxygenation of the compressed nerve.

3. Activation of Resident Stem Cells

SoftWave stimulates local stem cells to migrate to the area of injury, where they promote nerve and tissue regeneration in the wrist and hand.

4. PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen)

Supports cell replication and DNA repair, essential for regenerating damaged nerve fibers and restoring sensation and function.

5. Removal of Senescent Cells

SoftWave clears out dysfunctional or inflamed cells that hinder healing, allowing new, healthy cells to thrive.
