Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This compression can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers, particularly the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Carpal tunnel syndrome is often associated with repetitive hand movements, certain medical conditions, and anatomical factors. At Khadke Hospital, our dedicated orthopedic and neurological specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, aiming to alleviate symptoms and restore hand function.

The diagnostic process for carpal tunnel syndrome at Khadke Hospital begins with a detailed assessment of the patient’s medical history and symptoms. A physical examination may be conducted to evaluate hand strength, sensation, and any specific signs of nerve compression. Diagnostic tests, such as nerve conduction studies or electromyography (EMG), may also be utilized to confirm the diagnosis and assess the severity of the condition. Based on the findings, our healthcare team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs and lifestyle.

Initial treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome typically involves conservative measures, including wrist splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, and modifications to daily activities to reduce strain on the wrist. Physical therapy may also be recommended to improve flexibility and strengthen the muscles of the hand and wrist. In cases where conservative treatments are ineffective or the symptoms are severe, surgical intervention may be necessary. Carpal tunnel release surgery is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at relieving pressure on the median nerve by cutting the ligament that forms the roof of the carpal tunnel. At Khadke Hospital, our surgeons are experienced in performing this procedure with a focus on patient safety and optimal recovery outcomes. Through a combination of advanced care, compassionate support, and personalized treatment plans, Khadke Hospital strives to help patients with carpal tunnel syndrome regain their hand function and improve their quality of life.
