Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when a nerve that passes through the wrist, the median nerve, becomes compressed within a narrow canal, which affects the sensation and strength of the hand.
Common symptoms:
- Tingling or numbness in the fingers
- Discomfort that may increase at night
- A feeling of weakness when gripping objects
Common causes: Repetitive hand movements, certain health conditions, or factors specific to each person.
Which specialist treats it? Orthopedics and physical therapy usually assess and support these complaints. If you notice recurrent tingling or loss of strength in the hand, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional to identify its origin.
