Carpal Tunnel Syndrome treatment is often needed when tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hand starts becoming frequent. Dr Nikita Shetty evaluates these symptoms carefully because nerve compression at the wrist can gradually worsen if ignored. Many people first notice discomfort at night or while using a phone, typing, or driving for long periods.
The condition develops when pressure builds around the median nerve inside the carpal tunnel of the wrist. Early treatment usually helps prevent long-term nerve irritation.
