Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment

Carpal tunnel syndrome causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand due to compression of the median nerve at the wrist. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers effective carpal tunnel syndrome treatment in Indore, from splinting to minimally invasive surgical release.

About Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which passes through a narrow tunnel of ligament and bone at the wrist, becomes compressed. This can result from repetitive hand movements, wrist positioning during work or sleep, or underlying conditions like diabetes and thyroid disorders. Symptoms often start gradually and worsen at night, and if left untreated, can lead to permanent nerve damage and muscle wasting in the hand.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment

• Numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
• Symptoms that worsen at night or with wrist bending
• Weakness in grip strength
• A tendency to drop objects
• Pain that may radiate up the forearm

• Repetitive hand and wrist movements
• Prolonged or awkward wrist positioning

Diagnosis
