What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist. It affects a significant number of people and is commonly associated with repetitive hand motions, wrist injuries, and medical conditions such as diabetes and thyroid dysfunction, arthritis, thyroid disorders
Treatment for CTS may include wrist splinting, medications, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the median nerve.
Symptoms of Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms usually start gradually and include:
Symptoms:
- Tingling or numbness
- Weakness
- Pain in hand and fingers, particularly the thumb, index, and middle fingers
These symptoms can worsen at night or during activities that require wrist flexion or extension, such as typing or holding a phone.
At NeuroWellness, we understand the impact that neurological conditions can have on your life. Our team of experts are dedicated to provide exceptional care and helping you regain control.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment
Treatment options for CTS range from non-invasive approaches such as splinting, activity modification, and physical therapy, to surgical options like carpal tunnel release surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent progression of symptoms and improve overall quality of life.
- Wearing a splint on the affected wrist can help keep the wrist in a neutral position and reduce pressure on the median nerve. A splint may be worn at night or during activities that aggravate symptoms.
- Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, may help relieve pain associated with CTS. In some cases, corticosteroid injections may be used to reduce inflammation and swelling in the wrist.
- Stretching and strengthening exercises can help improve wrist and hand function and reduce symptoms of CTS. A physical therapist may also recommend ultrasound or other modalities to reduce inflammation.
- Avoiding activities that aggravate symptoms, such as repetitive hand movements, may help prevent CTS from getting worse. Losing weight, quitting smoking, and managing underlying conditions, such as diabetes or thyroid disorders, may also help improve CTS symptoms.
- While brain tumors can be a serious and frightening diagnosis, prompt and appropriate treatment can improve the chances of a successful outcome.
