Injections for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by the compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This compression leads to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and fingers. While conservative treatments like splinting or physical therapy may alleviate symptoms, some cases require more direct intervention.
Dr. Nitika Mahajan uses corticosteroid injections as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The procedure is performed in her clinic and involves injecting the corticosteroid directly into the carpal tunnel. This provides a temporary reduction in symptoms, often lasting several weeks or months. In some cases, injections may delay or even prevent the need for surgery.
Under Dr. Mahajan’s care, patients receive personalized treatment plans designed to relieve their symptoms and restore their hand health.
