Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Health Center

Though widely believed that carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition born from long hours spent working on a computer keyboard or similar repetitive tasks, it actually has numerous causes. Bound by bones and ligaments, the carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway located on the palm side of the wrist. This tunnel protects a main nerve to the hand and nine tendons which bend the fingers. Pressure placed on the nerve produces numbness, pain and eventually hand weakness which characterize carpal tunnel syndrome.
