What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is common in individuals who perform repetitive wrist motions such as keyboarding, assembly or painting.
Repetitive strain causes swelling in a tunnel that is formed by the carpal bones of the wrist. This tunnel is a passage way for important structures, such as tendons and nerves, to enter the hand. This swelling pinches the structures. Pinching of one important structure, the median nerve, can cause numbness, tingling and weakness of the hand. Pregnancy may also cause swelling in this area leading to carpal tunnel.
Treatment for carpal tunnel includes reducing repetitive strain, ice, stretching and
strengthening. Your Physiotherapist may also use manual therapy and modalities to speed recovery or may suggest a brace.
