“How long is physical therapy after carpal tunnel surgery?”

Typically, after carpal tunnel surgery, patients start physical therapy (PT) to help regain strength, flexibility, and overall function in the affected hand and wrist. The duration of PT varies from person to person, as each individual responds differently to the therapy. On average, patients attend PT sessions three times a week for at least eight weeks. However, it is important to note that your specific recovery timeline may differ based on your unique circumstances and progress during therapy.

Before proceeding with surgery, you may want to consider advanced regenerative medicine treatments, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection etc. PRP therapy has shown promising results in some cases, helping patients alleviate carpal tunnel symptoms without the need for surgery. We have successfully treated several cases with this non-invasive approach, and it may be a viable alternative for you to explore.

The amount of time needed for therapy after carpal tunnel surgery varies from person to person. Usually any post op surgery expect up to 6 months of therapy afterwards. It could be more or less.
