Carpal tunnel syndrome, also known as median nerve compression, is a condition which affects the hand. The median nerve is located on the palm side of your hand which is also known as the carpal tunnel. The median nerve is responsible for providing sensation to the thumb, the index finger, and parts of the ring finger. The nerve is responsible for the muscle going to the thumb. Carpal tunnel syndrome is usually accompanied by sensations of pain, tingling, burning or swelling in the palm of the hands and may extend to the first three fingers of the hand and the thumb.
If you have signs of carpal tunnel syndrome, better not avoid the condition and visit an expert orthopedic doctor for carpal tunnel treatment in Navi Mumbai.
Steps Involved In Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment
How does the Orthopedic doctor diagnose Carpal tunnel?
A doctor can diagnose a carpal tunnel syndrome by doing a physical examination and tests called nerve conduction studies. The physical examination may include a thorough evaluation of your hand, shoulder, wrist, neck or any other parts that can cause pressure in the nerve. The doctor may also check if there is any tenderness or swelling in the wrist. The doctor may further check the sensation of the fingers and the strength of the muscles in your hand.
How is Carpal Tunnel Release performed?
To relieve the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, the doctor conducts a surgery called Carpal Tunnel Release surgery. During a carpal tunnel release or surgery, the surgeon cuts through the ligament that is pressing down on the carpal tunnel. This makes more room for the median nerve and tendons passing through the tunnel, and usually improves pain and function.

The recovery for carpal tunnel release surgery depends on how long the patient had the condition and what kind of procedure they had. If the nerve had been compressed for a long time and the patient had open surgery, then it would take much longer to heal. It also depends on your dominant hand and what kind of work they do.
If the surgery is on the dominant hand and the patient has to perform repetitive motions such as typing and assembly-line work, then they can go back to work in 6-8 weeks; however, if it is on their non-dominant hand and they don’t need to perform repeated motions, they can go back to work in 7-10 days.
The surgeon can perform the surgery under general or local anesthesia depending on the patient’s condition and the surgeon’s preference. If the surgery is performed under local anesthesia, you may be awake, but you won’t feel any pain during the surgery.
Risk factors associated with carpal tunnel syndrome are:-
After carpal tunnel release surgery, if the patient does not follow proper rehabilitation and physiotherapy, then the recovery will take much longer. Physiotherapy helps avoid the build-up of scar tissue in the operated region and opens up the tunnel in the wrist to allow proper wrist function. It also helps regain a complete range of motion for the wrist. In addition to physiotherapy, patients should also wear assistive devices such as thumb splints to encourage recovery.
