Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
Carpal tunnel syndrome also called median nerve compression, is a condition in which the median nerve in the carpal tunnel of the wrist is constricted. This permanent nerve pinching can lead to painful inflammation, tingling and numbness of typically the index and middle finger at night and hand weakness. Possible causes include lifestyle issues such as repetitive hand movements, overload, tendonitis, rheumatic arthritis, diabetes, obesity and alcoholism. Therefore, an integrative holistic approach addressing the lifestyle causes, has proven successful.
