A common hand and wrist ailment known as carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel, a small opening in the wrist. The hand and fingers experience discomfort, tingling, numbness, and weakness as a result of this compression. Pregnancy, underlying medical issues and repeated hand movements are common causes of it. Wrist splints, physical therapy, medication, or in extreme situations, surgery to relieve nerve pressure, are possible forms of treatment. For the purpose of avoiding permanent nerve injury, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
The thumb, index, and middle fingers are numb and tingly.
Ache and pain in the wrist and hand that could travel up the arm.
Weakness and trouble holding things, particularly tiny ones.
Hand instability and a tendency for dropping objects.
The symptoms frequently get worse at night or when you move your hands a lot.
Hand and finger pain that, if addressed, may result in reduced dexterity and functional restrictions
Repetitive hand and wrist movements: Using hand tools, working on assembly lines, or engaging in other frequent, repetitive tasks can all lead to the development of the condition.
Anatomy: Some people may be more prone to compression of the median nerve due to anatomic changes or a narrower carpal tunnel.
Medical conditions: Rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid issues, and diabetes can all raise the chance of developing carpal tunnel syndrome
Obesity: Carrying a large amount of weight around can make carpal tunnel syndrome more likely.
Trauma or injury: The median nerve may expand and become compressed as a result of wrist trauma, such as fractures or sprains.
Genetics: Certain people may be genetically predisposed to carpal tunnel syndrome.
Wrist Splinting: Keeping the wrist in a neutral position and lowering pressure on the median nerve can be achieved at night by wearing a wrist splint.
Medication: Corticosteroid injections or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) therapy may offer momentary pain and inflammation alleviation.
Modifications to Lifestyle and Work: Ergonomics can be adjusted, repetitive hand motions can be decreased, and breaks can be taken to help with symptoms.
Physical therapy: Certain stretches and exercises can help increase the flexibility and strength of the hands and wrists.
Alternative Therapies: Some people may find healing from methods like yoga or acupuncture.
Surgery (Carpal Tunnel Release): To relieve pressure on the median nerve, a surgical operation may be suggested in extreme cases or when other treatments prove ineffective.
Ergonomic Workspace: Make sure your desk or workstation is set up correctly for ergonomics. Make sure your keyboard, mouse, chair, and monitor are positioned to reduce hand and wrist strain.
Regular rests: If your job requires you to make repeated hand movements, take regular rests. To lessen tension, stretch and flex your wrists when taking rests.
Wrist Position: When completing tasks requiring the use of your hands, keep your wrists neutral, neither bent upward nor downward
Wrist Splints: If you are at risk or have a wrist splint, think about wearing one at night or during activities that could cause symptoms
Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Since obesity increases the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome, maintain a healthy weight. To improve circulation and general health, engage in regular exercise.
Prevent Excessive Force: When holding objects or using tools, apply the least amount of force required. Ergonomic grip tools or gloves with padding can be useful.
Handle Medical illnesses: Work with your healthcare practitioner to properly treat any underlying medical illnesses you may have, such as diabetes, thyroid issues, or arthritis.
Wrist Exercises: To increase strength and flexibility, do hand and wrist exercises.
