Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Understanding, Diagnosis & Treatment
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist’s carpal tunnel. This nerve controls sensation and movement in parts of the hand, and its compression can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the fingers and wrist.
At Dr. Anubhav Gupta’s practice, we believe in a comprehensive and patient-centric approach to treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Our focus is on accurate diagnosis, non-surgical management, and advanced surgical techniques when necessary.
We start with a thorough examination and medical history to evaluate symptoms and possible risk factors.
Nerve conduction studies and EMG tests help confirm the severity of the condition.
Early-stage CTS can often be managed with wrist splints, physiotherapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications.
For severe or persistent cases, we offer Minimally Invasive Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery to relieve pressure on the median nerve, ensuring quick recovery and minimal downtime.
Recovery from carpal tunnel syndrome treatment depends on your chosen procedure.
Post-treatment care includes:
Do light hand exercises daily
Avoid heavy or repetitive wrist movements
Maintain ergonomic hand posture
Attend follow-up appointments for progress checks
Most patients notice relief from pain and tingling within a few weeks, with full recovery in 1–3 months.
