At Dr. Waseem Physio Clinic, we provide expert care for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a common condition affecting the hand and wrist. CTS occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, is compressed. This can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand, making everyday tasks challenging.
Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome can develop due to:
- Repetitive Hand Movements: Activities like typing, sewing, or using tools.
- Medical Conditions: Diabetes, arthritis, or thyroid imbalances.
- Injury: Wrist fractures or trauma that narrows the carpal tunnel.
- Fluid Retention: Common during pregnancy or menopause.
At our clinic, we conduct a thorough assessment to determine the specific causes contributing to your CTS.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Common symptoms include:
- Tingling or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
- Weakness in the hand, causing difficulty in gripping objects.
- Pain that may extend up the arm.
- Worsening symptoms at night or during certain activities.
Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Our diagnostic process includes:
- Physical Examination: Assessing hand strength, sensation, and wrist flexibility.
- Nerve Conduction Studies: Measuring the electrical impulses in the median nerve.
- Ultrasound Imaging: Identifying inflammation or structural changes in the wrist.
