This article explains what is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, its causes, signs and Symptoms

and how homeopathic treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can give permanent relief.

Carpus is the Latin term for ‘wrist’.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a medical condition due to compression of the median nerve whilst it runs through a passage in the wrist called the carpal tunnel, a narrow path that’s made up of bone and ligament. It is a painful syndrome affecting millions of people prone to median nerve entrapment. When the nerve becomes entrapped, it can become very inflamed and produce symptoms like shooting pain, tingling numbness in the hands and various other sensations.

The Median nerve travels across the length of the entire arm and ends in the hand. The nerve controls the movements of your thumb and all the fingers except the last tiny pinky one. Hence, the pressure on the nerve causes numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand.

Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Repetitive wrist and hand movements such as typing on a computer or playing a piano. This especially holds for actions you do when your hands are lower than your wrists
• Medical conditions like Hypothyroidism, Obesity, Diabetes Mellitus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Myxoedema and Acromegaly
• Pregnancy- causing oedema

Signs and Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The main symptoms are burning pain, numbness and tingling sensations in the thumb, index finger, middle finger and the thumb side of the ring finger. Typically, pain is the most troublesome at night or first thing in the morning. Moreover, the pain might be radiating and may occasionally involve the whole arm.

Grip strength may weaken causing trouble in holding things and clumsiness in hands. And, after a long period, the muscles at the base of the thumb get affected and atrophied and hence, get wasted away causing weakness in the hands.

The onset of symptoms is typically gradual and more during the night. Initially, one might notice their fingers ‘fall asleep’ and become numb at night. Thus, you may wake up with tingling numbness in your hands that may run to the shoulders. During the day, the symptoms might aggravate while holding something with your wrist bent, or while driving or reading a book.

In most cases, both hands are affected.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is not the result of a problem with the carpal tunnel, instead, it's a symptom raised by a nerve that is entrapped in the wrist.
