So when this nerve gets compressed, the median nerve is compromised and this is known as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome ranges from mild to severe cases. So it doesn’t always require treatment as mild cases can clear up on its own. However, if there is no improvement within a couple of weeks, it’s better to seek help from your GP:
Carpal tunnel can also be successfully treated through a surgical procedure called ‘carpal tunnel release’. Book your appointment to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster or Worksop. You can also follow us on social media.
