Carpal tunnel syndrome must not be neglected and it should be treated in as early stage as possible. Underlying causes like diabetes or arthritis should be treated first.

Initial treatment involves resting the wrist and hand for couple of weeks and avoiding movements that may increase symptoms. If inflammation is persistent, use of cool packs may help reduce swelling.

​At the workplace, care must be taken to avoid stiffness in muscles. Perform stretching exercises, taking periodic rest breaks and using correct posture and wrist positioning may prove to be extremely helpful.

Working tools and tasks can be redesigned to maintain a natural position of worker’s wrist during work. Jobs can be shuffled among workers to avoid repetitive wrist movements.

If you work on a computer, having an adjustable keyboard table and chair with a wrist rest is recommended by doctors.

These are just some of the key prevention and treatment ideas for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. There are many other small and big lifestyle changes that one can easily make to greatly help with addressing the complications related to CTS- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome does not arise only due to a defect in the nerve. This disease flourishes because of a combination of constant increased pressure on the median nerve and tendons in the carpal tunnel.

​This happens due to repetitive tasks done by wrist like driving for a long distance or sitting at the wrong posture while using your computer. Other major could be injury to the wrist such as sprain or fracture. 

Clinical data proves that forceful and repetitive movements of the wrist during work or leisure movements can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. 

Women are more likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome mainly because the carpal tunnel is smaller in women than in men. Diabetic patients or other metabolic disorder patients are prone to carpal tunnel syndrome as these ailments directly affect the body's nerves making them more disposed to compression.

People working with hand tools and those using a computer keyboard on a regular basis  and longer interval of times are at highest risk.

One fine day when you are working on your computer ignoring the numbness or tingling you've had from quite a long time in your wrist. All of a sudden, a sharp pain rises through the wrist and up your hand. Is it just a muscle cramp? There are chances that you may have carpal tunnel syndrome, a painful state developed due to compression of a major nerve in your wrist.

​
What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

This disease occurs when the median nerve (a major nerve which runs through the forearm branching into the palm of the hand) gets squeezed or pressed at the wrist. This nerve is responsible for controlling sensations to the palm and generating impulses to other small muscles running in the hand enabling thumb and fingers to move. This may result in pain or numbness in the wrist and eventually in the entire hand. 

What are the major signs of carpal tunnel syndrome?

Signs indicating frequent burning, itching or numbness in the palm are usually the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Some patients reported that their fingers feel swollen and useless with little or no apparent swelling.

A suffering person sometimes wakes up feeling the need to shake out the wrist while sleeping at night.

​As symptoms increase, people feel tingling during the day as well. In chronic cases, the muscles of the thumb may stop working permanently. Some patients reported the loss of ability to distinguish between hot and cold touch.

Carpel tunnel is a gap in the wrist which is made by wrist bones, as the surroundings and floor of that tunnel are made with these bones.

​There are tendons in the carpal tunnels and they go up to fingers and thumb. There is a median nerve which gets squeezed when the tendons swell overloading the tunnel. This nerve is extremely sensitive to pressure, hence your daily physical activities especially the use of computers can damage the nerve causing inflammation.
