Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) develops when the median nerve becomes compressed as it passes through the narrow carpal tunnel in the wrist. This pressure can cause numbness, tingling, burning sensations, weakness, or pain in the hand and fingers, especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers. It commonly affects people who spend long hours typing, working on assembly lines, using hand tools, driving, performing healthcare procedures, or doing repetitive tasks. Over time, untreated inflammation can worsen symptoms and interfere with sleep, work performance, and everyday activities.
Cold therapy helps reduce swelling and calms irritated tissues, which can relieve pressure and temporarily numb pain signals. Applying targeted cold therapy during flare-ups, after repetitive activity, or at the end of a long workday can help manage symptoms and support recovery.
