Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment at Dr. Hamza Physio
Overview
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the hand and wrist, causing pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. It occurs due to compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Repetitive hand movements, prolonged computer use, or underlying health conditions can contribute to its development.
At Dr. Hamza Physio, located in the AIH Building, G-8 Markaz, Islamabad, we specialize in diagnosing and treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome through advanced physiotherapy techniques aimed at relieving symptoms and restoring hand function.
