Need a Hand with Your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve in your wrist is irritated, compressed, or inflamed.   This will cause nerve symptoms including numbness, tingling,  muscle weakness, and sharp pain into the thumb, index finger, and middle finger.

The carpal tunnel is a passage way for the median nerve to enter the hand.  This passage way is susceptible to injury with repetitive wrist movements and trauma.

Along with the median nerve, many wrist flexor tendons move through the carpal tunnel and can affect it's function.

It is important to have carpal tunnel syndrome examined properly.  There are many different causes for carpal tunnel that respond to conservative care well.  Many time surgery can be avoided.

Carpal Tunnel syndrome and median nerve irritation is becoming more common with an increase use of computers, and wrist gripping daily activities.
