Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by pressure on the median nerve as it travels through the wrist’s carpal tunnel. It often results from repetitive hand movements or wrist strain and can cause pain, tingling, and numbness in the hand and fingers. Early treatment can prevent long-term damage and loss of hand function.
