Do you find your hand and wrist sore at the end of the working day?
Strange sensations in your fingers, weakness or numbness? Carpal tunnel syndrome is a very common condition that often affects manual workers and people with desk based occupations.
It is caused by repetitive movements and positions that result in a tightening of a sheath across the palm side of your wrist. This compresses a nerve and can result in pain and numbness to the fingers as well gripping weakness in some cases.
A period of physiotherapy will in most cases resolve the problem. However in the minority of cases surgical release may be required. Carpal Tunnel can become a long standing a debilitating condition if left untreated. Get it fixed, get it sorted!
