Carpal Tunnel Syndrome treatment becomes important when numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand starts interfering with routine work. Dr Nikita Shetty evaluates patients who often notice symptoms worsening at night or after prolonged use of the hand. What feels like mild tingling in the beginning can gradually affect grip and coordination if ignored.
This condition occurs when the median nerve gets compressed at the wrist, often due to repetitive use, underlying medical conditions, or fluid retention.
Common Causes
- Repetitive hand movements
- Diabetes or thyroid conditions
- Wrist swelling or inflammation
- Prolonged typing or tool usage
Symptoms to Watch
- Tingling in thumb, index, and middle fingers
- Numbness or burning sensation
- Weak grip strength
- Difficulty holding objects
Treatment Options
- Wrist splints, especially at night

- Steroid injections when required
- Surgical release in persistent cases
Dr Nikita Shetty focuses on early intervention to prevent long-term nerve damage. If carpal tunnel symptoms are affecting your daily routine in Sion, booking an appointment can help you explore timely treatment.
