Over 8 million people are affected by carpal tunnel syndrome every year.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is characterized by pain, numbness, tingling, itching
and burning in the wrist, top of the hand, fingers and thumb.  The condition
is caused by over use of the wrist.

The carpal tunnel is made up of the carpal ligament - a tough, elastic band of tissue
that connects 9 wrist bones in the front of the wrist.  The flexor tendons run inside
the carpal tunnel. 

When you over use your wrist doing things like sports, computer tasks (clicking 
the mouse and typing), weight lifting and manual labor, the flexor tendons that
live inside the carpal tunnel swell and become irritated as they compress the
median nerve. 

As you move your fingers, the swollen tendons rub against each other, causing
pain, tingling and numbness.  Sometimes, a shooting pain can be felt,
particularly in people who have a tendency to retain fluid (for example, pregnant women). This happens because your median nerve is being aggravated by the tendons. 
It becomes a little bit too crowded inside your carpal tunnel and the median nerve
is telling you about it.   

With continued overuse of your wrist, the condition can worsen with increasing pain
over time.  In some cases, carpal tunnel syndrome can be so severe that it
actually limits use of the wrist and hand.  Many carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers
report that the pain and discomfort worsens at night, especially while reading or driving.  Some experience loss of the muscle tissue of the thumb.

So you think you may have carpal tunnel syndrome?

Typical methods of carpal tunnel treatment include...

• splint or wrist brace
• anti-inflammatory drugs
• steroid injections
• acupuncture
• surgery to cut the carpal tunnel band

Each of these "traditional" treatments presents its own set of risks and drawbacks - 
Such as the splint or brace, which is only a temporary band-aid that can only 
addresses the symptoms but not the cause.

Drugs can have side-effects and may cause dependence.  Steroids pose health risks.  Acupuncture is expensive.  And of course, no one wants their wrist sliced open.
Plus, in 50% of the cases surgery doesn't even prove successful!
