Understanding Your Condition

CARPAL TUNNEL
EXPLAINED

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve — which runs from your forearm into your palm — becomes compressed at the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway of bones and ligaments. When swelling or thickening occurs, it reduces space for the nerve, causing numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the hand. At Physio Expert Dubai, we use conservative treatments including nerve gliding exercises, manual therapy, splinting, and ergonomic modifications to relieve pressure and avoid surgery.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Yes. Many cases of carpal tunnel syndrome — especially mild to moderate — respond very well to conservative physiotherapy treatment. Through nerve gliding exercises, manual therapy, splinting, and activity modification, we can often relieve symptoms and avoid the need for surgical release.

Mild cases may improve within 4–6 weeks of consistent treatment. Moderate cases may require 8–12 weeks. Severe or long-standing compression may take longer. Early treatment leads to faster and more complete recovery.

Typically, splinting is most important at night when we tend to flex our wrists during sleep. Daytime splinting may be recommended during aggravating activities. Your physiotherapist will advise on the optimal splinting schedule for your condition.

Yes. Nerve compression in the cervical spine can mimic carpal tunnel symptoms exactly. This is why a thorough assessment is crucial — treating the wrist when the problem is in the neck won’t help. We always examine the entire nerve pathway from neck to hand.

Avoid prolonged repetitive wrist movements, vibrating tools, and positions that hold the wrist in extreme flexion or extension for long periods. We’ll provide specific activity modifications tailored to your work and lifestyle.
