What
is carpal tunnel syndrome?
Carpal
tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a hand and arm related condition causing
insensitivity, tingling sensations, and other symptoms within the
hand and arm. The main cause of CTS is the result of a pinched nerve
in the wrist.
Multiple
factors can play a role in CTS, one being certain patterns of hand
use, health problems, and the anatomy of the wrist.
The
carpal tunnel is held together by bones and ligaments with a slim
passageway located on the palm side of the wrist. Thus, allowing the
main nerve and tendons to the hand to be protected.
However,
when the nerve becomes compressed, numbness, tingling, and weakness
of the hand occur, resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome. As people
develop CTS, the correct Doctor prescribed treatment plan can usually
relieve some of the tingling and numbness. In some instances, surgery
is needed to relieve the agonizing pain.
