Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Nepal: Non-Surgical Relief for Wrist Pain with Manual Therapy (2026 In-Depth Guide)
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is rampant in Nepal among office workers, call center employees, and smartphone users in Kathmandu/Pokhara.

- Poor ergonomics
- Pregnancy, diabetes, or thyroid issues
