Overview
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, causing numbness, tingling and weakness in the hand. It is one of the most common nerve disorders, especially in office workers, drivers and pregnant women.
Early diagnosis matters — left untreated, persistent compression can cause permanent muscle wasting in the hand. Our in-clinic injection therapy provides excellent symptom relief in mild to moderate cases.
