Condition

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm through a narrow passageway in the wrist called the carpal tunnel, becomes compressed or squeezed. This nerve controls sensation and movement in the thumb and first three fingers. The condition is often associated with repetitive hand and wrist motions, such as typing, assembly line work, or prolonged use of vibrating tools. Other contributing factors include wrist anatomy, underlying health conditions like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis, and pregnancy. At Spinal Interventions, we offer diagnostic evaluation and targeted treatments to relieve pressure on the median nerve, reduce inflammation, and restore hand function using minimally invasive techniques.
