How Do I Check if I Have Carpal Tunnel?

To check if you have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, we’ll start with a physical examination to assess your symptoms, such as numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand. We may perform specific tests like Tinel’s sign, where we gently tap on the median nerve at your wrist to see if it triggers symptoms. Diagnostic tests like nerve conduction studies and ultrasounds of the wrist help confirm the diagnosis by measuring how well the median nerve is functioning.
