Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it travels through the wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome is usually caused by a combination of factors, and certain individuals are at a higher risk of developing the condition. Women and older people are more likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome, and other risk factors include heredity, repetitive hand use, hand and wrist position, pregnancy, and certain health conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and thyroid gland imbalance. Other wrist pain causes can be carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist arthritis, injury to the wrist, gout, or other reasons.

Heredity may be an important factor because some people may have a smaller carpal tunnel or anatomic differences that change the amount of space for the nerve, and these traits can run in families. Repetitive hand use, especially when involving the same hand and wrist motions or activities over a prolonged period, can aggravate the tendons in the wrist and cause swelling that puts pressure on the nerve.

Extreme flexion or extension of the hand and wrist for a prolonged period during activities can also increase pressure on the nerve, and hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause swelling that results in pressure on the nerve.
