Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, causing pain, numbness and weakness in the hand. At AVK, we treat it through Marma therapy and herbal bandaging that reduce compression, nourish the nerve and restore hand function.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a vata disorder where vata obstructs the nerve channel at the wrist. Treatment focuses on Mani Bandha marma stimulation, sustained herbal bandaging at the wrist and nerve-nourishing internal formulations.
Every treatment plan is individualised after a thorough consultation. Below is the typical protocol.
Gentle stimulation of the Mani Bandha and Kurcha marma points to release nerve compression and reactivate hand circulation.
Medicated oils (such as Ksheerabala) applied to the wrist and forearm, held in place with therapeutic bandages — nourishing the nerve and reducing inflammation.
Nerve-strengthening internal preparations and vata-pacifying herbs to prevent recurrence.
Ergonomic correction, wrist-friendly movement routines and a vata-pacifying diet.
A 45-minute consultation is the first step towards relief.
