While there are instances where mild CTS may resolve on its own, it’s very unlikely without treatment. In the early stages of CTS, patients often find that their symptoms present very sporadically or only while performing certain tasks. However, as the condition continues to worsen, symptoms may persist and occur more frequently. Symptoms can often be managed and resolved by: - Splinting with wrist while sleeping - Exercising and stretching the hand and fingers to keep the nerve mobile - Lessening or stopping activities that aggravate your symptoms - Utilizing pain medications and/or steroid injections If CTS persists for more than two weeks despite using conservative healing methods (rest, icing, pain medication, physiotherapy), it’s recommended that you seek out a doctor or specialist who can work with you on a treatment plan.
