Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common hand conditions. It is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm side of the hand. In most patients, carpal tunnel syndrome gets worse over time. If untreated for too long, it can lead to permanent dysfunction of the hand, including loss of sensation in the fingers and weakness. For this reason, it is important to diagnose and treat carpal tunnel syndrome promptly.Syptoms of carpel tunnel - Numbness, tingling, burning, and pain — primarily in the thumb and index, middle, and ring fingers. This often wakes people up at night. Occasional shock-like sensations that radiate to the thumb and index, middle, and ring fingers Pain or tingling that may travel up the forearm toward the shoulder Weakness and clumsiness in the hand — this may make it difficult to perform fine movements such as buttoning your clothes Dropping things — due to weakness, numbness, or a loss of proprioception (awareness of where your hand is in space). CAUSES -any form of arthritis in the wrist, especially if there’s swelling of the wrist joint or the tendons that run through the carpal tunnel hormonal changes, for instance during pregnancy, which can sometimes affect connective tissues and put pressure on the nerve the thyroid gland not producing enough hormones, sometimes called hypothyroidism or an underactive thyroid glando, ur genes obesity work that places heavy demand on your wrist using vibrating tools. TREATMENT-Here at Physionautics we exercises to mobilize the median nerve, strengthen surrounding muscles, and improve wrist and hand range of motion. Splinting, activity modification, and ergonomic assessments are also common components of a physiotherapy plan with advanced electrotherapy equipments here at Physionautics like laser and TECAR T to reduce pain and inflammation.
