Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Edmonton
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve—which runs from the forearm to the hand—becomes compressed at the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway made of bones and ligaments that houses the median nerve and flexor tendons. When the tendons become irritated or swollen, they can press on the nerve.
The median nerve is responsible for sensation in the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring fingers. Compression of this nerve can lead to:
-
Numbness or tingling in the hand and fingers
-
Wrist pain or discomfort
-
Weakness in the hand or thumb
-
Pain radiating to the forearm or upper arm
