Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Are you experiencing frustrating numbness, tingling, or pain in your thumb, index, middle, and half of your ring finger? Does this discomfort often worsen at night, waking you up, or make simple tasks like gripping objects, typing, or driving difficult? These are common signs of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a condition that affects many people and can severely impact your hand function and quality of life.

At AdvanCell in Dhaka, we understand the daily challenges posed by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Our expert team of physiotherapists specializes in comprehensive, non-surgical Carpal Tunnel Syndrome treatment, focusing on relieving nerve compression, reducing your symptoms, and restoring the comfort and full function of your hand and wrist.

Who Suffers from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Do You Need Help?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a very common condition that can affect a wide range of individuals, often linked to repetitive hand and wrist activities or underlying health conditions. You might be suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome if you are:

• Office Workers: Spending long hours typing, using a mouse, or performing repetitive data entry.

• Manual Laborers: Involved in assembly line work, carpentry, plumbing, or using vibrating tools.

• Craftspeople/Artists: Engaging in repetitive hand motions like knitting, sewing, or painting.

• Musicians: Particularly those playing instruments that require repetitive hand and finger movements.

• New Mothers/Pregnant Women: Hormonal changes can cause fluid retention that leads to nerve compression.

• Individuals with Certain Medical Conditions: Such as diabetes, thyroid issues, rheumatoid arthritis, or obesity.

• Anyone Experiencing Numbness/Tingling: Especially at night or with sustained hand positions.

If you have persistent numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in your thumb, index, middle, or ring finger, or if your symptoms worsen at night, professional help is crucial. Early intervention can often provide significant relief and prevent the need for surgery.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Causes and Symptoms

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve, one of the main nerves to the hand, becomes compressed or squeezed as it passes through a narrow passageway in your wrist called the carpal tunnel. This tunnel is formed by the wrist bones and a strong ligament.

Pressure on the median nerve can lead to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, most commonly affecting the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and the thumb-side half of the ring finger. The little finger is typically unaffected.

Common symptoms include:

• Numbness and Tingling: Often described as "pins and needles" or a "falling asleep" sensation, frequently worse at night or in the morning.

• Pain: Aching, burning, or throbbing pain in the wrist, hand, or even radiating up the forearm.

• Weakness: Difficulty gripping objects, dropping things, or reduced dexterity.

• Difficulty with Fine Motor Tasks: Trouble with buttons, writing, or picking up small items.

• Sensation of Swelling: Even if no visible swelling is present.

How We Help: Specialized Therapies for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Our expert physiotherapists utilize a range of proven techniques and modalities specifically chosen for their effectiveness in managing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:

• Manual Therapy: Gentle hands-on techniques to mobilize the bones of the wrist, release tight muscles and fascia in the forearm and hand, and improve circulation to reduce pressure within the carpal tunnel.

• Nerve Gliding Exercises (Nerve Mobilization): Specific exercises designed to gently move the median nerve and tendons within the carpal tunnel, helping to reduce adhesions and improve nerve mobility. These are crucial for nerve decompression.

• Laser Therapy (Low-Level Laser Therapy/Photobiomodulation): Applied directly over the carpal tunnel, laser therapy can significantly reduce inflammation, promote nerve regeneration, and accelerate tissue healing, leading to pain and numbness relief.

• Ultrasound Therapy: Therapeutic ultrasound can be used to reduce inflammation and promote healing in the tissues around the carpal tunnel.

• TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): A gentle electrical therapy used to provide effective pain relief and reduce tingling sensations by modulating nerve signals.

• Therapeutic Exercises: Customized programs focusing on:

• Gentle Stretching: To improve flexibility of wrist and forearm muscles.

• Gradual Strengthening: For weakened hand and forearm muscles to improve grip and dexterity.

• Dexterity Exercises: To restore fine motor skills.

• Wrist Splinting: Recommendation and fitting of a wrist splint, often worn at night, to keep the wrist in a neutral position and reduce pressure on the median nerve during sleep.

• Ergonomic Assessment & Advice: Guidance on modifying your workspace, computer setup, tools, or daily habits to reduce strain on your wrist and prevent future recurrence.
