Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve within the wrist’s carpal tunnel. It leads to pain, tingling, and numbness in the hand and fingers, often worsening at night or with repetitive hand use. Early physiotherapy, ergonomic correction, and guided exercises can significantly reduce symptoms, restore hand strength, and prevent long-term nerve damage.
Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
- Repetitive wrist or hand movements
- Prolonged use of keyboards or vibrating tools
- Poor wrist posture or ergonomics
- Pregnancy-related swelling
- Diabetes or thyroid disorders
- Arthritis and joint inflammation
- Wrist fractures or injuries
- Fluid retention or systemic conditions
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
- Tingling or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
- Burning or shooting pain in the hand or wrist
- Hand weakness and difficulty gripping objects
- Pain that worsens at night or on waking
- Reduced fine motor control
- Sensation of swelling in the fingers (even if none visible)
- Difficulty performing daily tasks like buttoning or writing
