Carpal tunnel syndrome is commonly caused by performing a repetitive action throughout the day. This is a very common problem that affects people young and old alike. The carpal tunnel is the area of the wrist that connects the forearm to the central part of the palm. In this tunnel there are bones and connective tissues; several tendons also pass through it. This tunnel is a rather narrow canal of the body and if one of the tendons becomes swollen, nerves will become compressed. This pressure causes pain and other symptoms. When a patient suffers with carpal tunnel syndrome, they frequently experience numbness, as well as pain, in their first four fingers.
People with carpal tunnel syndrome can have trouble writing, due to weakness in the hand and fingers. Other tasks that call for similar small motor functions may become difficult. Many patients even develop problems sleeping since the pain often worsens at night.
Our carpal tunnel treatments usually include wrist splints and injections into the site; the injections reduce inflammation which in turn reduce compression and therefore ease pain.
If carpal tunnel syndrome is left untreated permanent nerve damage can occur. For this reason, we encourage you to have your hand and wrist pain assessed sooner rather than later.
