Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), commonly known as mouse hand, is a common issue of wrist nerve compression that affects hand sensation and strength. The main cause is the median nerve being compressed inside the wrist tunnel. This tunnel is made up of bones and ligaments, with a narrow space containing the nerve and tendons. The median nerve controls the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and part of the ring finger; when tunnel pressure rises, it squeezes the nerve. Increased pressure blocks...

The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the lower limb. During walking, running, and jumping activities, the contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle in the calf pulls the heel bone upward through the Achilles tendon, shifting the body's center of gravity upward or forward. As the tendon bears the full body weight during movement, it endures significant loads. Repeated excessive stress or overload on the tendon can lead to degeneration of collagen fibers, micro-tears, neovascularization,...

The piriformis muscle becomes excessively tight, spasmodic, or inflamed, compressing or irritating the sciatic nerve that passes beneath it, resulting in localized pain and radiating symptoms along the sciatic nerve distribution. Causes Prolonged sitting, crossing legs, or habitual one-sided weight-bearing Repetitive hip external rotation activities such as running or hiking Gluteal muscle imbalance (weak gluteus medius leading to overcompensation by the piriformis) Anterior pelvic tilt or...
