Our holistic approach helps manage pain, reduce symptoms, and restore mobility, allowing you to get back to your daily activities with ease.
Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, becomes compressed. This compression can lead to:
Tingling or Numbness
Often felt in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
Wrist Pain
Discomfort that may radiate from the wrist into the hand or forearm.
Weakness in the Hand
Difficulty gripping or holding objects due to nerve compression.
Our team in Wellington specialises in addressing the causes of carpal tunnel syndrome and providing relief from its symptoms.
Common Causes of Wrist Pain
Wrist pain may result from a variety of issues, including repetitive strain, injury, or underlying conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Key causes include:
Overuse and Repetitive Motion: Repetitive actions, such as typing or heavy lifting, can strain the wrist, leading to pain and discomfort.
Injury: Sprains, fractures, or other injuries to the wrist area can cause lasting pain if not properly managed.
Nerve Compression: Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome compress nerves in the wrist, causing tingling, numbness, and pain.
Understanding the cause of your wrist pain is essential for effective treatment. At City Osteopaths, our osteopaths provide individualised care to address your specific symptoms and restore function.
