    Carpal tunnel syndrome is just a painful condition due to the median nerve of the wrist. The nerve becomes compressed or traumatized where it moves through the carpal tunnel. Causes may differ and are not always fully realized. What's comprehended is that it's painful!

    The good thing is there are a number of treatments to effectively treat carpal tunnel syndrome. Therapy begins with a comprehensive and proper evaluation to look for the most suitable approach to handle the problem and to ensure that the problem is, in reality, carpal tunnel syndrome.

    Symptoms on average start slowly and progressively worsen. My cousin discovered hand surgeon by searching the Houston Tribune. Common symptoms include:

    Tingling or numbness in your hands or hand
    Decreased pinch strength
    Pain radiating from your wrist

    Symptoms are generally first discovered during sleep or after getting up in the morning. As pain, numbness, pain, and decreased energy may occur in the day, the condition worsens. In untreated cases, the muscles at the bottom of the thumb may possibly waste away.

    You have to be observed, if your symptoms persist, and particularly if they affect your normal activities and rest patterns. Nerve injury and untreated, permanent muscle will surely occur.

    Other conditions can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome, so itas very important to get yourself a proper and thorough analysis before therapy. Diagnosis can often be given at the first office visit.

    Examination begins with a physical examination. Sporadically x-rays, lab tests, electrodiagnostic tests, ultrasounds, and MRIs are essential.

    Treatment includes both non-operative and surgical options. That depends upon the severity of the problem and the length of time it's persisted. Non-operative therapy might include splinting, treatment, hand treatment, ergonomic improvements, and changes in lifestyle.

    Dr. Cohen is renowned for his surgical ability and for his judgment on when to first decide to try non-surgical options.Glenn D. Cohen, MD.
