Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Essex
Numbness, tingling or weakness in your hand?
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed as it passes through the wrist. This can cause numbness, tingling, pain and weakness in the thumb, index and middle fingers, often worsening at night.
At The Arthritis Clinic Ltd, we provide specialist assessment to accurately diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome and rule out other causes of hand and wrist pain. Treatment is tailored to your symptoms and may include physiotherapy, splinting advice, activity modification, ultrasound assessment and ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections where appropriate.
Common symptoms include:
- Tingling or numbness in the thumb and fingers
- Night-time hand pain
- Weak grip strength
- Dropping objects
- Wrist discomfort
Early assessment can help prevent symptoms from progressing and improve hand function.
