What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. It’s one of the most common nerve compression disorders, especially among office workers, manual laborers, and those who perform repetitive wrist movements.
Symptoms of CTS:
Numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring finger
Weakness in the hand and difficulty gripping objects
Pain that can radiate from the wrist up to the arm
Symptoms often worsen at night or during activities that flex the wrist
Swelling, stiffness, or feeling like the fingers are “falling asleep”
Causes:
Repetitive hand movements (e.g., typing, manual labor)
Poor wrist posture or prolonged flexion
Inflammation or swelling due to conditions like arthritis or diabetes
Pregnancy-related swelling
