Expert Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Vadodara
Stop the numbness, tingling, and pain in your hands. Comprehensive non-surgical care for median nerve compression and wrist discomfort.
Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed as it travels through the wrist at the carpal tunnel
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into your palm, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist.
- Median Nerve Compression - The median nerve controls sensation to the palm side of thumb and fingers (except little finger)
- Anatomical Factors - Smaller carpal tunnel anatomy, wrist fractures, or arthritis that reduce space for the nerve
- Repetitive Hand Use - Prolonged repetitive wrist motions from typing, assembly work, or using vibrating tools
- Health Conditions - Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disorders, and fluid retention during pregnancy
- Workplace Factors - Poor ergonomics, prolonged computer use, and awkward wrist positions
- Nerve-Damaging Conditions - Alcoholism, vitamin B6 deficiency, and other conditions that damage nerves
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent permanent nerve damage and maintain hand function.
Recognizing Carpal Tunnel Symptoms
Carpal tunnel syndrome typically develops gradually with distinctive symptoms
Numbness & Tingling
Pins and needles sensation in thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers, often worse at night or upon waking.
Electric Shock Sensations
Shooting pains that radiate from wrist up the arm or down into the fingers, often triggered by specific movements.
Weakness & Clumsiness
Difficulty gripping objects, frequent dropping of items, and reduced hand strength, especially in the thumb.
Nighttime Symptoms
Pain and numbness that wakes you from sleep, often relieved by shaking or moving the hands.
Our Carpal Tunnel Treatment Approach
Comprehensive care to relieve nerve compression and restore normal hand function
Comprehensive Nerve Assessment
Neurological Examination
Detailed testing of sensation, muscle strength, and reflexes in hands and fingers to assess median nerve function.
Special Diagnostic Tests
Tinel's sign, Phalen's maneuver, and carpal compression tests to reproduce symptoms and confirm diagnosis.
Ergonomic Evaluation
Assessment of workplace setup, typing posture, and repetitive movements that contribute to nerve compression.
Our Carpal Tunnel Relief Methods
Nerve Gliding Exercises
Specific movements to improve median nerve mobility through the carpal tunnel and reduce adhesions.
Wrist Joint Mobilization
Gentle techniques to restore proper carpal bone alignment and create more space for the median nerve.
Forearm Muscle Release
Myofascial release of forearm flexor muscles to reduce tension on tendons that pass through the carpal tunnel.
Upper Extremity Adjustments
Corrections to elbow, wrist, and cervical spine to address contributing factors from the entire kinetic chain.
Ergonomic Modification
Customized recommendations for workplace setup, proper typing technique, and nighttime splinting.
Strengthening & Stretching
Targeted exercises to improve wrist stability, forearm strength, and maintain proper muscle balance.
Patient Success Story
Real results from our carpal tunnel treatment
"As a software developer, I spent 10-12 hours daily at my computer and developed severe carpal tunnel syndrome. The constant numbness in my fingers made typing unbearable, and I was waking up multiple times each night with painful tingling in my hands. I was considering surgery when I found Spine-X. Dr. Zinzala took a comprehensive approach, not just treating my wrists but addressing my entire upper body mechanics. The combination of nerve gliding exercises, wrist mobilizations, and ergonomic adjustments has been life-changing. Within 4 weeks, my nighttime symptoms were gone, and I could type without pain. The education on proper posture and workstation setup has prevented my symptoms from returning, allowing me to continue my career without limitations."

Preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Proactive strategies to protect your wrists and maintain nerve health
Proper Typing Technique
Keep wrists straight, elbows at 90 degrees, and use light touch when typing. Take frequent breaks to stretch.
Neutral Wrist Position
Maintain straight wrist alignment during activities. Avoid bending wrists up, down, or to the sides for prolonged periods.
Frequent Rest Breaks
Take 2-3 minute breaks every 20-30 minutes during repetitive tasks. Perform wrist stretches during breaks.
Keep Hands Warm
Cold temperatures can worsen symptoms. Wear fingerless gloves in cold environments to maintain circulation.
Maintain Good Posture
Proper shoulder and neck alignment reduces nerve tension that can contribute to carpal tunnel symptoms.
Nighttime Wrist Support
Use wrist splints at night to maintain neutral position and prevent bending that compresses the nerve during sleep.
