A MESSAGE TO OUR PATIENTS REGARDING COVID-19
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that causes hand pain, wrist pain and forearm pain. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the connecting nerves from the hands to the forearms become compressed. This nerve is called the median nerve. Carpal Tunnel is a part of the hand where the ligaments and bones meet in the wrist.
When there is compression, irritation or swelling of the nerve, which passes through the carpal tunnel, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may be present.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is commonly seen in patients who overuse their hands and wrists, especially in repetitive motions. Some things that can cause a flare up include typing on a keyboard, playing piano and writing. Other times, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may be due to an injury such as a wrist sprain.
While anyone can be affected by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, it is more common in middle aged women and patients with Arthritis.
