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.
