Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Are you experiencing pain, numbness, or tingling in your hand and wrist? You may be dealing with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a common condition that can significantly impact your daily life. At Lymph Balance, our dedicated hand therapist, Tamryn, is here to guide you through the diagnosis, management, and rehabilitation of CTS, providing personalised care to help you regain comfort and function.
Diagnosis: Understanding Your SymptomsCarpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in your wrist, becomes compressed. This compression can lead to a range of symptoms, including pain, tingling, and numbness in the hand and fingers. Tamryn, our experienced hand therapist, employs thorough diagnostic assessments to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms.
