HOW CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME TREATED IN HOMEOPATHY
Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common hand conditions. It is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm side of the hand. When the median nerve is compressed, symptoms can include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the thumb and fingers. Wrist anatomy, health conditions, and possibly repetitive hand motions can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome usually has no known cause, but there are environmental and medical risk factors associated with the condition. Homeopathy is an alternative mode of treatment for CTS. It can be taken for a few months, relieving your symptoms and curing as such.CAUSES

FAQs
- Can the carpal tunnel go away by itself ?
It is possible to get carpel tunnel syndrome removed on its own, especially if you rest or avoid repetitive motions with your wrists for a while. But it's much more likely that carpal tunnel syndrome won't heal unless a healthcare provider diagnoses and treats it.
- How serious is carpal tunnel syndrome?
In most patients, carpal tunnel syndrome gets worse over time. If untreated for too long it can lead to permanent dysfunction of the hand.
- What exercises should you avoid with carpal tunnel?
How should you sleep if you have a carpal tunnel?
Support Your Wrist and Arms. One way to help reduce swelling at night is to sleep with your arms on a pillow so they are slightly raised. You can use a normal pillow or a body pillow to help keep your arms straight.
How can you get relief from carpel tunnel syndrome?
Wearing a splint on your hand and wrist at night.- Using ice packs as needed.
Taking medications as prescribed by your doctor.- Seeking medical care when you need it.
- Resting your hands periodically.
