Hello! I'm Dr. Lee Se-rin, doctor of Tongin Korean Medicine Clinic.
Today, I'd like to discuss 손목터널증후군(Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, CTS)!
If you feel a tingling sensation in your fingers one day, you might want to suspect Carpal Tunnel Syndrome! 😢
If you resonate with many of the symptoms mentioned, consider the possibility of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. 😢
Why does Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occur?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is when the median nerve, which runs from the wrist to the fingers, becomes compressed by surrounding muscles and ligaments.
The transverse carpal ligament acts like a fence around this nerve. People using their wrists frequently are likelier to develop a thickened transverse carpal ligament.
When this thickened ligament presses on the median nerve, it can cause various unusual sensations in the fingers, such as tingling or prickling. It's similar to how our legs can feel numb when we sit in one position for too long, compressing the nerves.
