Carpal Tunnel

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed. This nerve originates in the spine and runs down the arm and through the wrist, ending in the hand. Typically, compression along the path of this nerve can happen at several places. But in all cases, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is due to compression of the nerve. Carpal Tunnel causes several uncomfortable symptoms, most notably pain or numbness in the hands and arms. This condition can make everyday life more difficult, to the point where you may develop an inability to do basic daily tasks. A proper diagnosis and treatment is of the utmost importance. The providers at Palmetto Family Medical Group assess each patient’s condition in a thorough initial evaluation and use multiple techniques for Carpal Tunnel treatment in the Williamston area.
