What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the supporting fibrous tissue in the wrist swells, applying stress and pressure to the median nerve. It can result in tingling, pain or lack of sensation in the hand and fingers on the affected side.

Carpal Tunnel is common in those who use repetitive wrist movements in their daily lives. Some vocations that lend themselves to the development of carpal tunnel are; massage therapy, hair styling, data entry (or any job where one spends a lot of time typing), etc.

There are some conditions that can encourage or aggravate carpal tunnel. Some of these conditions include pregnancy, hypothyroidism and arthritis.
