Are you experiencing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand and wrist?  You might be suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome.  At Ortho Wellness in Tijuana, Mexico, we offer expert diagnosis and treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome to help you regain comfort and function in your hand.

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that affects the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into your hand. This nerve passes through a narrow passageway in your wrist called the carpal tunnel. When the tissues surrounding this tunnel swell, they can compress the median nerve, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist.
