What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve — a major nerve that runs through the wrist — becomes compressed or irritated. This pressure causes symptoms like:

  • Numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
  • Weak grip or dropping objects
  • Pain in the wrist that radiates up the forearm
  • Discomfort that worsens at night or with repetitive hand use

It’s one of the most common nerve compression conditions — and also one of the most treatable.

What Causes It?

Several factors can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome, including:

  • Repetitive hand use (typing, assembly work, etc.)
  • Wrist injuries
  • Inflammatory conditions (like arthritis)
  • Pregnancy or fluid retention
  • Genetics (some people simply have narrower tunnels)

Whatever the cause, pressure on the nerve is what creates the problem — and relieving that pressure is the key to relief.

How It’s Treated

Dr. Vercio takes a thoughtful, step-by-step approach to treating carpal tunnel syndrome. Many patients experience relief without surgery.

Non-Surgical Options:

  • Wrist splints (especially at night)
  • Activity modification to reduce strain
  • Anti-inflammatory medications
  • Physical therapy and nerve gliding exercises

If symptoms persist or worsen, carpal tunnel release surgery may be recommended — a short outpatient procedure that relieves the pressure on the nerve and restores hand function. 

What Is Carpal Tunnel Surgery Like?

Carpal tunnel release is a minimally invasive procedure that takes less than 30 minutes. Dr. Vercio makes a small incision to gently release the ligament causing pressure on the nerve.

  • Can be performed under local anesthetic or sedation/general anesthesia
  • No hospital stay required
  • Most patients return to light activities within days
  • Full recovery typically within several weeks

The goal is simple: long-term relief, restored function, and a return to the activities you love — without pain.
