Carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a frequent and often neglected condition that causes irreversible damage if not treated promptly. It occurs in adulthood and more commonly in people over 50. It is estimated that nearly 1 in 20 adults in Canada suffers from carpal tunnel. It affects both men and women, but women are 4 times more likely than men to suffer from it.

 

It occurs when the median nerve that passes through the wrist is compressed in its channel, the carpal tunnel. Compression affects the sensory and motor function of the hand, which can cause numbness, pain, and the inability to perform certain movements. In the majority of cases, the disease is bilateral, meaning it affects both hands.
