Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel—a narrow passageway in the wrist. This compression can lead to numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the hand and fingers, especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers. CTS is often the result of repetitive motion, poor wrist ergonomics, or inflammation that causes the tunnel to narrow. But many people don’t realize that nerve interference can also originate in the neck or shoulder, which is why chiropractors take a full-body approach.
