Many people work at jobs, play sports, or do exercises that repeatedly use the same motions of the wrist that can eventually contribute to wrist problems. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist that can cause numbness, tingling, and loss of function in the hand. Getting its name from the narrow passageway located on the palm side of the wrist, carpal tunnel syndrome affects millions of people in the United States each year. From those who type a lot on a keyboard, play the piano, or play a sport that uses repeated movements of the wrist (e.g. tennis), compression of the nerve in the hand eventually find that their hand(s) is weak and the feeling of numbness will not go away. At Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians, we serve patients who suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome so that they can find long-term relief.
It is unfortunate, but many people ignore the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and put off seeking treatment. Because the forearms and wrists are such complex working systems in the body, allowing symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to go without treatment only makes healing more difficult.
