If you have carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) then you most likely have symptoms of numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in your hands and wrists. The nerves to your hands can become compressed in your wrist, also known as the carpal tunnel. This condition involves misalignment, soft tissue, and inflammation problems. To get relief of your carpal tunnel you must get proper treatment that addresses all three problems simultaneously.
