If you’re unsure of whether you have carpal tunnel syndrome, you should visit a doctor as soon as possible. When you visit The Pain Relief Center, we’ll begin by asking about your symptoms and taking a detailed medical history.
Then, we’ll perform a physical exam of your hands, wrists, shoulders, and neck. This will help us rule out other hand and wrist conditions. We’ll also ask about your daily activities to determine if those are the cause of your hand pain.
Specific tests exist that help diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome. These tests focus on the median nerve, which is what causes patients to feel pain.
