Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed, leading to discomfort and difficulty in hand movement. Common causes include repetitive motions, prolonged computer use, and conditions like arthritis or diabetes.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
- Tingling or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
- Weak grip strength
- Pain or discomfort, especially at night
- Difficulty with fine motor tasks
When to Consider Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery?
If treatments like wrist splints or physical therapy fail to provide relief, Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery may be recommended. This procedure releases pressure on the median nerve by cutting the ligament that causes compression.
What to Expect from Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery
A small incision is made to release the ligament pressing on the median nerve. The surgery, typically performed under local anesthesia, offers quick relief with minimal scarring and downtime.
Key Benefits:
- Relief from pain and numbness
- Improved hand strength and functionality
- Faster recovery with lasting results
