Carpal tunnel syndrome is a musculoskeletal disorder producing a variety of debilitating side effects. The management of carpal tunnel syndrome typically includes splinting, corticosteroid injection and (if severe enough) surgical intervention. Differing techniques have been utilized in the physical therapy treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, and this case report highlights the use of dry cupping as a modality in the treatment of a patient diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome.
