Wrist Pain & Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in West Delhi

Overview

The wrist is a very complex joint, with multiple small bones, ligaments, tendons, and, of course, nerves that allow its smooth movement. Wrist pain may involve injury, repetitive strikes, arthritis, or nerve compressions. 

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a pressure phenomenon on the median nerve, which runs through a narrow path in the wrist called the "carpal tunnel." Due to this condition, individuals may feel pain/discomfort, numbness, and tingling in their thumb, index finger, middle finger, and part of the ring finger.

While CTS or carpal tunnel syndrome is commonly associated with people who perform such activities as typing, writing, or doing repetitive hand activities, actual wrist pain can have many other causes. 

Causes of Wrist Pain & Carpal Tunnel Syndrome 

General Causes of Wrist Pain: -

• Repetitive strain from typing, writing, or using a tool.
• Trauma such as a sprain, fracture, or ligament tear.
• Arthritis (osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis).
• Tendonitis or De Quervain's tenosynovitis.
• Ganglion cysts.
• Gout or infections that involve the wrist joint.

Causes for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:-

• Continually using the hand and wrist repetitively. For example, typing, sewing, and assembly-line work.
• Diabetes, disorders of the thyroid, or simply hormonal changes.
• Retained fluids with this condition due to pregnancy.
• As nearly anyone will tell you, an increase in body weight is a solid increase in the risk of nerve compressions.
• Past wrist fractures or injuries that will have resulted in narrowing the tunnel.

Symptoms of Wrist Pain & Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Pain, stiffness, or swelling around the wrist
• Tingling or “pins & needles” sensation in fingers.
• Numbness of the thumb and first two fingers.
• Night pains or pains after much repetition.
• Weak grip strength also leads to dropping things.
• Having a problem doing simple things like buttoning clothes or holding utensils.
• Muscle loss at the base of the thumb occurs in severe cases of CTS.

Diagnosis of Wrist Pain & Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

At Dr Ekta's Pain Management Clinic, we use advanced methods to identify the exact cause:-

• Medical history and examination: Checking pain patterns, grip strength, and finger sensation.
• Tinel's test & Phalen's maneuver: For detection of carpal tunnel compression.
• X-ray: Rule out fractures or arthritis.
• Ultrasound: For the evaluation of swelling of tendons and nerves.
• Nerve conduction studies (NCS) & electromyography (EMG): To confirm the severity of the median nerve compression.
• MRI/CT scans: Detailed structural assessment of the wrist. 

Why We Are Different

Treatment Options at Dr Ekta's Pain Management Clinic  

We prioritize non-surgical, minimally invasive therapies that relieve pain, restore function, and prevent future episodes.

Medication Therapy

• NSAIDs to reduce inflammation.
• Neuropathic medications (Gabapentin, Pregabalin) for pain associated with nerves.
• Corticosteroid medications (oral or injections) are reserved for selected cases.

Interventional Pain Treatments

• Corticosteroid Injections: Into the carpal tunnel for swelling reduction and a decrease in pressure on the nerve.
• Nerve Blocking: to stop the pain signal from wrist pain for a period.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Long-term pain relief by targeting nerve fibers.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: Growth factors that will help to heal tendon and nerve damage.
• Stem Cell Therapy/BMAC: To stimulate tissue regeneration in chronic cases.
• Hydro Dissection: Separated and thus liberated from surrounding entities, the compressed median nerve.

Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

• Stretching and strengthening the wrist and hand from a muscle perspective.
• Using wrist splints, especially during the night.
• Ergonomic typing, lifting, and other daily tasks.
• Ultrasound and electrotherapy for faster healing.

Lifestyle and Ergonomic Care

• Modify office setup to limit strain.
• Have breaks in between prolonged repetitive activities.
• Correct posture and alignment of the wrists when typing or using tools.
• Stress management is essential because tension increases nerve pain.

Self-Care & Prevention Tips

• Use the ergonomic keyboard, mouse, and wrist rest at your workstation.
• Constant breaks from the repetitive activity.
• Stretch the wrist before and after long hours of typing.
• Prolonged bending of the wrist during sleep—wear a splint if needed.
• Maintain a healthy weight and exercise often.
• Control other diseases such as diabetes.
