Do you feel numbness, tingling, or burning in your hand or fingers, especially at night? Weakness, dropping objects, or pain that travels up the arm can also be signs of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Early evaluation is key. If symptoms are persistent, worsening, or interfering with daily activities, it’s time to see a hand specialist. Prompt care can help relieve pain, restore function, and prevent long term nerve damage.

Don’t ignore what your hands are telling you, expert care is closer than you think.
