Carpal Tunnel & Numbness in Hands

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is one of the most common causes of numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hands. It occurs when the median nerve, which passes through a narrow passage in the wrist called the carpal tunnel, becomes compressed. This nerve controls movement and sensation in the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring finger — which is why patients often experience difficulty gripping objects or performing daily tasks.

At Dr. Rohit Kamboj’s clinic, we offer accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome and other conditions that cause hand numbness or nerve irritation.
