The Condition

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Compression on the median nerve as it travels through the wrist through a narrow space known as the Carpal Tunnel. This is one of the most common entrapment sites of nerves in the body.

Compression of the nerve normally comes from inflammation of the tendons, which can thicken and compress the median nerve, leading to numbness, tingling or weakness in the hand.
