Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Nerve Compression in the Wrist

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common nerve disorder caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This condition leads to numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the hand and fingers, particularly affecting the thumb, index, and middle fingers. CTS is often associated with repetitive hand movements, prolonged computer use, wrist injuries, and underlying medical conditions like diabetes or arthritis. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent nerve damage and reduced hand function. At Kasare Hospital, our specialized orthopedic team provides advanced diagnosis and treatment options to relieve pain, restore hand mobility, and prevent long-term complications.

Comprehensive Treatment Approaches for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome varies depending on the severity of symptoms. In mild to moderate cases, non-surgical treatments such as wrist splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy can help reduce pressure on the median nerve. Lifestyle modifications, including ergonomic adjustments and activity modifications, can also prevent symptom progression. For more severe cases or persistent symptoms, corticosteroid injections may be used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. If conservative treatments are ineffective, minimally invasive carpal tunnel release surgery is performed to relieve pressure on the nerve by cutting the transverse carpal ligament. At Kasare Hospital, our expert orthopedic surgeons utilize the latest techniques to ensure precision, minimal downtime, and faster recovery.

Rehabilitation and Long-Term Hand Health

Post-treatment rehabilitation plays a crucial role in restoring hand strength, flexibility, and function. Our dedicated physiotherapy team at Kasare Hospital provides customized exercise programs to improve wrist mobility, prevent stiffness, and strengthen surrounding muscles. Patients are also advised on preventive measures, including proper wrist positioning, regular stretching, and ergonomic workplace adjustments to reduce strain on the median nerve. With early diagnosis and expert intervention, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be effectively managed, allowing patients to resume daily activities without discomfort. If you are experiencing persistent hand numbness, tingling, or weakness, consult our orthopedic specialists at Kasare Hospital for a comprehensive evaluation and tailored treatment plan.
