Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition caused by the compression of the median nerve. The median nerve controls hand movement and sensation as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. A compressed median nerve can lead to various symptoms affecting the hand and wrist.
Common symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. It can also cause pain that radiates from the wrist up the arm, particularly at night or during activities that involve repetitive hand movements.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is often caused by repetitive hand and wrist movements that lead to irritation and inflammation of the tendons in the carpal tunnel. Other contributing factors may include wrist injury, certain medical conditions such as diabetes or arthritis, and anatomical factors that narrow the carpal tunnel.
Atlas Physiotherapy offers hands-on therapies that can complement the recovery process for diagnosed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Hands-on therapy, such as physiotherapy, can alleviate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by reducing inflammation, improving wrist flexibility, and strengthening supporting muscles to alleviate pressure on the median nerve.
