Have you ever wondered about what causes Carpal Tunnel pain? Looking at my illustration clearly shows that a lot of structures pass through a very tight space in your wrist.
The drawing depicits some of the carpal bones and the ligament that creates the carpal tunnel. There are ten structures that pass through the tunnel, of which the most superficial of these structures is the Median Nerve. Given its location, the Median Nerve is frequently compressed and becomes inflammed.
If you are experiencing what you suspect is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, get your wrist evaluated by a medical professional. They can recommend and proscribe a variety of treatment programs.
