Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Located at the base of the hand, the carpal tunnel is a narrow pathway of ligaments and bones. This area is home to the median nerve and tendons that bend the fingers. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can be the result of activities that require repetitive wrist motions, such as typing. The most common symptoms of this condition include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.

“DOC was great. I walked in and they had me taken care of and out of there fast. After care was the same. If you hurt yourself, it doesn’t get better than this!”
