Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment | Deca Health and Wellness

What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a painful condition caused by pressure on the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in your wrist. When this nerve becomes compressed, it can lead to a range of symptoms including:

  • Tingling or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers

  • Hand weakness or difficulty gripping

  • Pain that may extend up the arm

CTS often develops gradually and can interfere with everyday tasks like typing, gripping objects, or even sleeping comfortably.

What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome can result from a variety of factors that increase pressure on the median nerve, including:

  • Repetitive hand movements (especially from typing, assembly work, or tool use)

  • Wrist injuries or fractures

  • Inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis

  • Pregnancy or hormonal changes

  • Underlying health issues, like diabetes or thyroid disorders

It's important to identify the root cause of your symptoms to ensure proper treatment.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment Options

  • Wrist splinting – especially at night to reduce pressure on the nerve

  • Activity modifications – adjusting wrist posture and reducing repetitive movements

  • Anti-inflammatory care – reducing swelling that compresses the nerve

Our licensed professionals guide you through targeted exercises and stretches to relieve pressure, strengthen your wrist, and restore flexibility.

Advanced Non-Surgical Treatments

We use state-of-the-art techniques like laser therapy, shockwave therapy, or regenerative medicine to promote healing without invasive procedures.
