How to get instant relief from carpal tunnel syndrome, and how surgery offers a long-term solution

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition. It’s due to compression of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist’s carpal tunnel. This can result in pain, tingling, numbness and weakness in the hand and fingers. CTS often affects people who perform repetitive hand or wrist movements, such as typing, manual labour or playing musical instruments. If left untreated, symptoms can worsen, potentially leading to permanent nerve damage.
