Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Phalen's Test 🖐️

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve in your wrist, leading to symptoms like tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hand.
Phalen's test is a quick diagnostic tool for this condition:
1. Press the backs of your hands together with your fingers pointing down.
2. Hold this position for about 60 seconds.
If you experience tingling or numbness in your fingers, it might indicate carpal tunnel syndrome.
Consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
