Carpal Tunnel Syndrome treatment becomes important when numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand starts interfering with daily work. Dr Nikita Shetty evaluates patients who often describe a “pins and needles” sensation in the thumb and fingers, especially at night. Over time, grip strength may reduce, and small objects may slip unexpectedly. It’s not just discomfort, it’s nerve compression that needs attention.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed within the wrist. Repetitive strain, prolonged typing, diabetes, thyroid conditions, or pregnancy can increase risk.
Common Symptoms
- Tingling or numbness in thumb, index, and middle fingers
- Night pain disturbing sleep
- Weak grip strength
- Dropping objects frequently
Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Wrist splinting, especially at night
- Anti-inflammatory medication
- Nerve conduction studies for confirmation
- Steroid injections in selected cases
- Carpal tunnel release surgery when conservative care fails
Dr Nikita Shetty focuses on early diagnosis to prevent permanent nerve damage. If symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are affecting daily life in Sion, booking a consultation can help you explore effective treatment options.
