What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in your wrist, becomes compressed or irritated. This condition can lead to symptoms such as:
- Pain or discomfort in the wrist and hand
- Tingling or numbness, especially in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
- Weakness or difficulty gripping objects
- Symptoms that worsen at night or with repetitive hand movements
Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
CTS can result from repetitive motions, underlying health conditions, or poor ergonomics. Common causes include:
- Frequent typing or mouse use
- Repetitive hand movements in work or sports
- Inflammation from conditions like arthritis
- Hormonal changes during pregnancy
- Poor posture leading to nerve impingement
Dr. Wong takes a comprehensive approach to uncovering the root causes of your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, focusing on long-term relief rather than temporary fixes.
