CARPAL TUNNEL

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME AND HOMEOPATHY 

Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common hand conditions. The carpal tunnel, is a narrow passageway on the palm side of your wrist that also houses the tendons that bend the fingers. It's surrounded by bones and ligaments. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when a major nerve in the hand — the median nerve — becomes compressed. Symptoms can include numbness, tingling and weakness in the thumb and fingers.

Wrist anatomy, health conditions and possibly repetitive hand motions can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome.
