PLANTAR FASCIITIS

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
This syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist level. It often results from repetitive motions or underlying health issues such as diabetes or arthritis.

Being aware of early signs can facilitate prompt intervention and prevent long-term damage associated with untreated carpal tunnel syndrome.
