Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Nerve Compression and Physio Support

Written By Andrew Adel Ishak

What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
It’s a nerve compression condition where the median nerve is squeezed as it travels through the wrist’s carpal tunnel.

Causes:

  • Repetitive hand or wrist use

  • Pregnancy or fluid retention

  • Diabetes, thyroid issues, or wrist anatomy

Symptoms:

  • Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers

  • Wrist pain, especially at night

  • Weak grip or hand fatigue

Physiotherapy Treatment: ✅ Nerve gliding exercises
✅ Wrist splinting (especially overnight)
✅ Manual therapy for wrist and forearm
✅ Postural and ergonomic advice

Long-Term Recovery:
Our treatment aims to reduce nerve compression while promoting functional hand use. Long-term relief involves ergonomic changes and strengthening for sustained improvement.
