Carpal Tunnel Doctor

Has Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Limited Your Hands? Let's get you on the path to healing with a Carpal Tunnel doctor.

The carpal tunnel is a passageway that runs through the base of each of your wrists. It contains nine tendons and the median nerve. The median nerve delivers sensations to your thumb, index finger, long finger, and half of your ring finger. The median nerve also helps power many of your hand and finger muscles. When the carpal tunnel narrows, it places pressure on your median nerve. This pressure causing numbness or tingling in your thumb and fingers. It can also weaken your hand and make everyday tasks more difficult. Finding a Carpal Tunnel doctor is the fist step to treat this hand condition.

What Are the Causes and Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome may be caused by certain health conditions, such as diabetes, pregnancy, or excessive weight. In other cases, certain activities may cause carpal tunnel syndrome, particularly activities where hands are exposed to repetitive, intense vibration, such as using machinery. However, in many cases the condition occurs without any clear cause.

Symptoms vary, but typically include:

  • Numbness and tingling in the fingers, particularly the thumb, index finger, long finger, and half of the ring finger.
  • Numbness and tingling at night that causes you to awaken and feel as if you must “shake out your hands.”
  • Weakness and clumsiness caused by compromised sensation and muscle function.
  • Difficulty with daily tasks such as buttoning shirts and driving
  • Pain in the hand and forearm, although this may also be caused by other conditions.
