What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?  

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that is brought on by the increase of pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. It is also due to a pinched nerve in the wrist which becomes compressed do to overuse causing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The pressure on the nerve can interfere with its normal function and result in numbness, pain, or weakness in the hand and fingers. 

Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

There are several different ways a person may obtain Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:

• Over Use: Prolonged use of the wrist or hand with repetitive movements or static position can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. 
• Genetics: It is possible that carpal tunnel syndrome can run in your family and be passed down from generation to generation.
• Wrist Injuries: If you have suffered from a fracture, sprain, or any trauma to the wrist it could cause the nerve to become compressed. 
• Abnormal Growth: Development of a tumor or cyst. 
• Pregnancy: Hormonal changes can lead to fluid retention, however, the symptoms usually go away after delivery. 

Carpal Tunnel Treatment

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may be treated without surgery if taken care of in time.

Some common carpal tunnel treatments include:

1. Bracing or splinting the wrist to keep it in a straight position
2. Wearing a brace during activities or at night
3. Icing the wrist to reduce swelling
4. Chiropractic 
5. Physical therapy
6. Stretching and strengthening exercises
7. Medication for temporary relief 

If symptoms are severe or do not go away after a few months then surgery may be needed in order to release the pressure on the median nerve. Once surgery is complete, it could take several months to fully heal and feel relief from the numbness and tingling in the wrist.
