Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Skokie, IL

What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed as it travels through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This compression can lead to numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the hand and fingers, often affecting daily activities such as typing, gripping, or lifting.

Carpal tunnel syndrome may develop gradually and is commonly associated with repetitive hand movements, poor posture, and nerve irritation originating from the neck or upper extremities.

Common Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Symptoms can vary in intensity and may include:

• Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers

• Hand or wrist pain

• Weakness or difficulty gripping objects

• Symptoms that worsen at night or with repetitive activity

• Sensation of swelling in the fingers, even when none is visible

Early evaluation may help prevent worsening symptoms.
