Nerve entrapment syndromes occur when a nerve gets compressed or pinched by surrounding tissues such as ligaments, tendons, or muscles. This can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, burning sensation, or weakness in the hand, wrist, forearm, or elbow. At Dr. Dharmesh JB’s Clinic in Bangalore, we provide specialized evaluation and treatment for nerve compression conditions to relieve symptoms and restore function.
Dr. Dharmesh JB combines accurate diagnosis with advanced non-surgical care and, when needed, microsurgical nerve decompression to reduce pressure on the nerve and prevent long-term damage.
Nerve entrapment happens when a nerve is compressed along its course, reducing normal nerve signals to the muscles and skin. Symptoms may start intermittently and worsen over time—especially with repeated hand use. Early treatment is important to prevent permanent numbness, muscle weakness, or loss of grip.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist. It can lead to numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers, hand pain (often at night), and reduced grip strength. When symptoms are severe or persistent, nerve decompression surgery may be advised. This procedure releases the tight ligament over the carpal tunnel, reducing pressure on the nerve and helping relieve symptoms while protecting nerve function.
In addition to carpal tunnel syndrome, several other nerves can be compressed in the upper limb—such as the ulnar nerve at the elbow (cubital tunnel), the radial nerve in the forearm (radial tunnel), or localized compressions near the wrist and hand. Treatment depends on severity and may include splinting, activity modification, medication, physiotherapy, injections, or surgical decompression in cases where nerve function is at risk.
Recovery depends on the nerve involved, severity of compression, and the treatment chosen. After decompression surgery, many patients notice improvement in pain and tingling early, while strength and sensation may improve gradually. We provide guidance on splinting, physiotherapy, nerve gliding exercises, and ergonomic changes to support full recovery.
