Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment at Bangalore Hand Centre
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common hand condition causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger. At Bangalore Hand Centre, we offer comprehensive carpal tunnel syndrome treatment options to alleviate your symptoms and restore hand function.
Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
CTS arises from compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in your wrist. This nerve supplies sensation and function to most of your thumb and fingers. Repetitive motions, forceful gripping, and certain medical conditions can contribute to CTS development.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Pain, numbness, or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger, often worsening at night or with prolonged activity
- Weakness or clumsiness in the hand, making it difficult to grasp or hold objects
- Aching or burning sensation in the palm
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment Options at Bangalore Hand Centre
Our hand surgeons will conduct a thorough evaluation to diagnose CTS and recommend the most suitable treatment approach based on your specific condition. Treatment options may include.
- Non-surgical Management: For mild to moderate CTS, we often recommend non-surgical measures like splinting, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medication, and steroid injections to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
- Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery: In severe cases where non-surgical methods prove ineffective, carpal tunnel release surgery may be recommended. This minimally invasive procedure aims to create more space in the carpal tunnel by dividing the ligament compressing the median nerve.
Benefits of Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery at Bangalore Hand Centre
Our experienced hand surgeons perform carpal tunnel release surgery using advanced techniques, ensuring:
- Minimal Scarring: We prioritize minimally invasive approaches to minimize scarring and promote faster healing.
- Reduced Recovery Time: Our surgeons are skilled in performing this procedure efficiently, leading to a shorter recovery period.
- Improved Hand Function: The goal of surgery is to alleviate pain and numbness, allowing you to regain full use of your hand.
