Español Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common repetitive strain injuries linked to work. It develops when the median nerve, which runs through the wrist, becomes compressed due to repetitive hand and wrist motions. Jobs that require constant typing, assembly line tasks, or use of vibrating machinery are particularly associated with this condition.
Symptoms often begin as tingling, numbness, or burning sensations in the fingers, which may worsen at night or after long periods of activity. If untreated, carpal tunnel can progress to weakness, making it difficult to grip objects or perform simple tasks.
If you suspect your workplace activities are causing wrist or hand symptoms, it’s important to seek specialized care. At Badia Hand to Shoulder Center, experts provide both conservative and surgical solutions to relieve pressure on the nerve and restore comfort.
