Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. It's often due to repetitive hand motions or underlying conditions like arthritis. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent permanent nerve damage associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Treatment options range from wrist splints to surgery, depending on the severity of carpal tunnel symptoms.
