Is there other options other than surgery for carpal tunnel?

Yes, there are several non-surgical options for carpal tunnel syndrome, including wrist splinting, especially at night, which helps alleviate pressure on the median nerve. Physical therapy and exercises can also improve symptoms by strengthening wrist and hand muscles. Additionally, corticosteroid injections may reduce inflammation and swelling in the affected area. Lifestyle modifications, such as ergonomic adjustments and reducing repetitive hand movements, can further help manage symptoms.
