What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Hi! I’m Monica and today we are going to be talking to you about carpal tunnel syndrome. You guys have probably all heard of carpal tunnel syndrome, but might not know exactly what it is or what the symptoms are. Carpal tunnel usually happens with repetitive movements. I will go in to some of the other causes of carpal tunnel in a minute. What happens is, right here you have a nerve that basically runs from your shoulder all the way on down. It gets stuck in here sometimes in the carpal tunnel. What happens is, the nerve ends up getting pressed on, usually from extra fluid being there just because the tissues are irritated. The nerve gets pressed on right here, and then you have numbness, tingling, sometimes you can start having problems with sensation, problems with your hand feeling really cold and definitely pain too. That is usually the biggest complaint of carpal tunnel. I am going to show you some exercises and other things you can avoid, things you can to do to help with carpal tunnel problems.
