Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment at YNB Health Care

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by the compression of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist. This nerve compression often leads to symptoms like tingling, numbness, weakness, and pain in the hands and fingers. If left untreated, CTS can severely affect daily activities and cause permanent nerve damage. YNB Health Care specializes in providing advanced, patient-centric treatments for CTS, including minimally invasive surgical solutions for lasting relief and recovery.

Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Diagnosis Process:

Before beginning treatment, our orthopedic specialists perform a thorough diagnosis using advanced techniques to determine the severity of CTS and identify any underlying causes. Common diagnostic procedures include:

• Physical Exam: Evaluating wrist movement, sensation, and muscle strength.
• Nerve Conduction Test (NCT): Measuring the speed of nerve signals to detect abnormalities.
• Electromyogram (EMG): Assessing electrical activity in muscles.
• Imaging: X-rays or MRIs to rule out other conditions like arthritis or wrist fractures.

Treatment Options:

Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment plans may include:

• Non-Surgical Methods: Mild cases are managed with wrist splints, lifestyle modifications, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy.
• Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery: For severe cases, YNB Health Care offers advanced endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery. This minimally invasive technique reduces recovery time and minimizes scarring. The procedure involves:
• A small incision in the wrist.
• Insertion of an endoscope (a thin tube with a camera) for visualization.
• Precision cutting of the transverse carpal ligament to relieve nerve pressure.

Post-Surgery Rehabilitation and Recovery

Rehabilitation Techniques:

Following surgery, rehabilitation is critical for restoring hand function and preventing scar tissue buildup. Our physiotherapists guide patients through personalized rehabilitation plans, which include:

• Gentle exercises like tendon gliding and wrist stretches.
• Use of splints to stabilize the wrist during recovery.
• Gradual reintroduction of daily activities.

Post-Operative Care:

• Keep the hand elevated to reduce swelling.
• Regularly clean and monitor the incision site to prevent infections.
• Follow a balanced diet to promote healing.

At YNB Health Care, our multidisciplinary team ensures patients receive holistic care, from diagnosis to post-treatment recovery.
