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.
