Wrist Pain & Carpal Tunnel Care in Kolkata

Overview

Wrist pain, hand tingling or difficulty gripping can have different causes. At our Kalighat and Maniktala clinics, an assessment helps decide whether physiotherapy is appropriate or medical or specialist evaluation is needed.

What we assess before treatment

1. Where symptoms occur, any injury, night symptoms and changes in sensation.
2. Work, gripping, keyboard use and tasks affected by symptoms.
3. Movement and hand function, with relevant nerve checks.
4. Signs that need further medical assessment, especially worsening weakness or numbness.

Your rehabilitation plan

Carpal tunnel syndrome involves pressure on the median nerve at the wrist. It is one possible explanation for hand symptoms, not a label for every painful wrist. Tendons, joints and injuries may require different care.

A suitable plan may include activity changes, advice about wrist support and tailored movement. Exercises are not a guaranteed cure for carpal tunnel syndrome. Persistent or worsening symptoms may require nerve testing or specialist treatment; these are arranged through an appropriate medical provider.

Reasons to arrange an assessment

• Wrist discomfort affecting work or household tasks.
• Hand tingling or night symptoms needing assessment.
• Difficulty with gripping or repetitive hand tasks.
• Rehabilitation after an assessed wrist injury, when cleared to start.

Between appointments

• Reduce or adapt tasks that repeatedly provoke symptoms.
• Follow the exercise or splint instructions given for your assessment.
• Report increasing numbness, loss of grip or weakness rather than waiting to finish a package.
