Carpal Tunnel

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Relief & Recovery at Palm Beach Neurosurgery.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel—a narrow passageway in the wrist. This nerve controls sensation and movement in parts of the hand, and when compressed, it can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness.

Who It Affects:

CTS often affects individuals who perform repetitive hand or wrist motions, such as typing, assembly line work, or frequent use of vibrating tools. It’s more common in women, people over 40, and those with conditions like diabetes, arthritis, or thyroid disorders.

Common Symptoms Include:

• Tingling or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
• Hand weakness or difficulty gripping objects
• Pain that radiates up the arm
• Symptoms that worsen at night or during activities like driving or holding a phone.

• Treatment Options at Palm Beach Neurosurgery:

  Our specialists offer both non-surgical and surgical solutions tailored to your needs:

  • Wrist splinting to relieve pressure during sleep
  • Anti-inflammatory medications or corticosteroid injections
  • Physical therapy to improve flexibility and reduce strain
  • Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure that relieves pressure on the median nerve by cutting the ligament that forms the roof of the carpal tunnel.

Fast Facts About CTS:

• CTS affects over 8 million people in the U.S. annually
• Early treatment can prevent permanent nerve damage
• Surgery has a high success rate and short recovery time.
