Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a neurological condition caused by the compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This condition leads to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers.

Causes & Risk Factors

• Repetitive hand movements (typing, writing, using tools)

• Prolonged wrist flexion or strain

• Medical conditions like diabetes, hypothyroidism, or arthritis

• Pregnancy & hormonal changes (fluid retention can compress the nerve)

• Injury or trauma to the wrist

Symptoms

• Tingling & numbness in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers

• Weak grip strength, difficulty holding objects

• Pain radiating to the forearm or shoulder

• Burning sensation in the wrist

• Symptoms worsen at night or with prolonged use

Homeopathic Approach

Homeopathy can help reduce inflammation, relieve nerve compression, and improve circulation, leading to symptom relief.

Common Homeopathic Remedies

• Hypericum Perforatum – For sharp, shooting pains and nerve injuries.

• Causticum – Helps in muscle weakness and loss of grip strength.

• Ruta Graveolens – Used for wrist pain due to overuse or strain.

• Arnica Montana – For inflammation and pain after exertion.

• Calcarea Phosphorica – For numbness and weakness in hands.

Prevention & Care

• Ergonomic adjustments – Use wrist support and maintain a proper posture.

• Frequent stretching & breaks – Avoid repetitive strain.

• Wrist exercises – Strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.

• Cold or warm compress – Helps reduce pain and swelling.

• Healthy diet – Anti-inflammatory foods to support nerve health.
