Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common nerve disorders, caused by pressure on the median nerve in your wrist. Symptoms often include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.
Ergonomic Adjustments
Your workspace setup plays a major role in managing CTS. Ensure your wrists are in a neutral position while typing, use ergonomic keyboards if necessary, and take frequent breaks to stretch your hands and arms.
Home Exercises
Simple nerve gliding exercises can help keep the median nerve moving freely. Gently bending your wrist back and forth, and stretching your fingers, can provide relief for mild symptoms.
When to See a Specialist
If you find yourself waking up at night due to hand numbness, or if you are dropping objects due to weakness, it's time to consult a hand surgeon. Early intervention can prevent permanent nerve damage.
