Description

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome develops when the median nerve becomes compressed at the wrist joint. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage made of bones and ligaments. Inside this tunnel pass the median nerve and several tendons responsible for finger movement. When the tissues around these tendons become swollen or inflamed, the space inside the tunnel reduces. This creates pressure on the nerve, causing symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand. In India, many patients initially ignore these symptoms. However, if left untreated, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can lead to permanent nerve damage and loss of grip strength. At Jain's Physiotherapy in Sector 144 Noida, physiotherapy treatment focuses on relieving nerve compression and improving wrist mobility without surgery in many cases. Common Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome The symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome usually develop gradually. They may start with mild discomfort and worsen over time. Common symptoms include: • Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and part of the ring finger • Pain in the wrist that may travel to the forearm or shoulder • Weakness in the hand while gripping objects • Difficulty holding small items like pens or mobile phones • Burning sensation in the fingers • Hand stiffness especially in the morning • Increased symptoms at night during sleep • Frequent dropping of objects due to reduced grip strength Many elderly patients in India experience these symptoms but assume they are due to aging. Proper diagnosis and physiotherapy treatment can significantly reduce the symptoms. Patients experiencing these symptoms can visit Jain's Physiotherapy, CM-60A Sector 144 NOIDA, or call 07524854400 for assessment. Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Several factors can contribute to the development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. In many cases, a combination of causes leads to nerve compression. Common causes include: Repetitive Hand Movements Frequent use of keyboards, mobile phones, tools, or machines can strain the wrist tendons and increase pressure inside the carpal tunnel. Age Related Degeneration Older adults are more likely to develop tendon swelling and joint degeneration that can compress the median nerve. Diabetes Patients with diabetes often develop nerve-related problems, including Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis can cause inflammation and swelling inside the wrist joint. Wrist Injury Fractures, sprains, or trauma around the wrist can narrow the carpal tunnel. Fluid Retention Hormonal changes and certain medical conditions can cause swelling in tissues around the wrist. At Jain's Physiotherapy in Noida, a detailed assessment is done to identify the exact cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome before starting treatment.
