What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by pressure on the median nerve as it travels through the wrist. Symptoms often include tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to preventing long-term damage and improving hand function. At Akruti Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Centre, we offer tailored treatment plans to address your specific symptoms and lifestyle.
How is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Diagnosed?
Diagnosing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation and diagnostic tests:
1. Medical History: Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, medical history, and any activities that may contribute to your condition.
2. Physical Examination: A thorough examination of the hand, wrist, and fingers to assess strength, sensation, and the presence of any swelling or tenderness.
3. Nerve Conduction Studies: This test measures the electrical activity of the median nerve to determine if there is compression or damage.
4. Electromyography (EMG): This test assesses the electrical activity of muscles and can help identify nerve dysfunction.
5. Ultrasound or MRI: In some cases, imaging studies may be used to visualize the anatomy of the wrist and confirm a diagnosis.
Why Choose Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Opting for treatment can provide numerous benefits:
- Pain Relief: Alleviate discomfort and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily activities.
- Restored Functionality: Improve hand strength and dexterity, allowing for a return to normal tasks.
- Personalized Care: Customized treatment plans based on the severity of your condition and your lifestyle needs.
- Preventative Approach: Early intervention can prevent progression and minimize the risk of surgical intervention.
Treatment Options for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
At Akruti Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Centre, we provide a variety of treatment options tailored to your needs:
Non-Surgical Treatments:
- Wrist Splints: Wearing a splint at night can alleviate pressure on the median nerve.
- Physical Therapy: Exercises and modalities to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
- Corticosteroid Injections: Reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms effectively.
Surgical Options:
- Open Carpal Tunnel Release: A traditional surgical procedure that involves cutting the ligament to relieve pressure on the median nerve.
- Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release: A minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions and a camera for faster recovery and less scarring.
