Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by the compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This narrow passage can become inflamed or restricted due to repetitive movements, overuse, or underlying medical conditions. CTS can significantly impact daily activities, making early intervention and effective treatment essential.
At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we specialize in treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with a multidisciplinary approach that alleviates symptoms, addresses underlying causes, and prevents recurrence.
Common Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Repetitive hand or wrist movements (e.g., typing, manual labor)
- Poor ergonomics during work or recreational activities
- Wrist injuries or fractures
- Chronic conditions like arthritis or diabetes
- Hormonal changes, including those during pregnancy
