What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by the compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This tunnel is a narrow passageway that houses tendons and the median nerve, which controls sensations in the thumb and fingers. When this nerve is compressed, it can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and wrist.
At The Spine Institute of New Jersey, our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Don’t let discomfort hold you back — schedule your consultation for effective relief.
Common Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include pain, tingling, and numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers, often extending to the wrist and forearm. Many individuals experience weakness in the hand grip, making it difficult to perform tasks like holding objects or typing. Symptoms may worsen at night or after prolonged activities involving wrist flexion, leading to discomfort and disrupted sleep. If left untreated, these symptoms can become chronic and affect daily functioning, emphasizing the need for timely intervention.
Risk Factors of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Several risk factors contribute to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. Repetitive hand movements, especially in jobs requiring prolonged wrist flexion, can increase strain on the median nerve. Other factors include wrist injuries, arthritis, or conditions like diabetes and hypothyroidism, which may lead to inflammation. Additionally, pregnancy can cause fluid retention, increasing pressure within the carpal tunnel. Genetics also play a role, as individuals with a family history of carpal tunnel syndrome are more likely to develop the condition.
Recovery Time from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Recovery time from carpal tunnel syndrome varies based on the severity of the condition and the treatment approach. Non-surgical options, such as wrist splinting and physical therapy, may take several weeks to months for significant relief.
At The Spine Institute of New Jersey, we focus on personalized treatment plans to expedite your recovery. Don’t let carpal tunnel syndrome hold you back — contact us to begin your healing journey.
Aftercare Tips
After treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, it’s essential to follow your physiotherapist’s guidelines. This may include wearing a wrist splint at night, practicing recommended exercises, and avoiding repetitive motions that exacerbate symptoms. Regularly applying ice can help reduce inflammation, while maintaining proper ergonomics at your workstation is crucial.
Effectiveness
Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome can be highly effective, particularly when tailored to the individual’s needs. Non-surgical options like splinting and physical therapy often alleviate symptoms and improve function.
Pain
Pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome treatment varies depending on the approach taken. Non-surgical treatments may involve mild discomfort during therapy or while wearing splints. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience significant pain during treatment.
