Carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated with injections, medication and the use of a splint. You should consult a rheumatologist to confirm the diagnosis and to determine the appropriate treatment.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated by wrist splinting. Steroid injection and surgical release are other options.

Carpal tunnel is a problem that is treatable. Splints can be helpful. Aspirin-like medicines can decrease swelling. Cortisone injections can be effective. Surgery, carpal tunnel release, can be a last resort.
