Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm side of the hand. When the median nerve is compressed, symptoms can include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and arm. The anatomy of the wrist, health problems and possibly repetitive hand motions can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome. Proper treatment usually relieves the tingling and numbness and restores wrist and hand function. *Tingling or numbness *Weakness Prevention *Reduce your force and relax your grip. *Take a short, frequent break *Watch your form *Improve your posture *Change your computer mouse *Keep your hand warm . @dr_advaitkulkarni
