About Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The median nerve travels from the spinal cord through the arm to serve the wrist and hand. The final nerve tunnel it travels through, is the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This space, created by ligaments and bone, can become narrowed by swelling or inflammation, putting pressure on the median nerve. When the median nerve becomes irritated in the wrist, it is called carpal tunnel syndrome.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the wrist or hands. The median nerve connects to the thumb, pointer, middle and part of the ring finger. The most common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is repetitive motions requiring the wrist to bend forward, like typing! Other repetitive wrist movements and certain health conditions, like diabetes and osteoarthritis, can contribute to causing carpal tunnel nerve compression.

Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Relieving pressure on the median nerve may relieve symptoms. Physical therapy and exercises offer help for minor conditions. Other treatment options can include injections to relieve inflammation in the wrist.
