According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, carpal tunnel syndrome affects approximately 10 percent of the population and is more common in women than men. It is caused by pressure on a nerve that runs through the carpal tunnel, and can be a disabling disorder of the hand, wrist, or arm.
During his presentation, Dr. Carrigan will discuss what carpal tunnel syndrome is, its causes, symptoms, and various treatment and prevention options. Dr. Carrigan will also explain why the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome is not confined to people in a single industry or job.
