What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common nerve condition that affects the hand and wrist. It occurs when the median nerve—which runs from the forearm into the palm—is compressed at the wrist within a narrow passageway called the carpal tunnel.
This compression causes numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and fingers. CTS is especially common among office workers, manual laborers, musicians, and people who use repetitive hand motions.
