==================================
“Carpal tunnel” (or more accurately - “carpal tunnel syndrome”) is characterized by numbness, tingling, and/or burning in the palm, thumb and fingers. This is most-often due to compression of the median nerve at the wrist as it passes under the transverse ligament.
In this video, you’ll learn what Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is, why you get it, and 8 of the most effective exercises you can do at home to eliminate numbness and tingling in your hand and palm.
WHAT IS CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME?
Your wrist is made up of 8 bones. Think of this as the “floor” of the tunnel. Those bones are held together by a ligament from the inside to the outside. Think of this as the “roof” of the tunnel.
Through that tunnel travel 9 different tendons that control finger movement and one nerve (median nerve) that controls sensation and some muscles in your hand.
When that nerve gets irritated or inflamed or some external force puts pressure on it, the result can be tingling, numbness, or even burning in your palm, fingers, and thumb, and even muscle atrophy/wasting if it goes on long enough.
WHAT CAUSES CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Anything that causes increased pressure on the median nerve at the wrist can cause carpal tunnel symptoms in the hand.
The most-common causes of carpal tunnel syndrome include repetitive motions at the hand/wrist (typing/desk jobs), compression to this area, and conditions that result in increased fluid retention in the body/wrist (hypothyroidism, obesity, diabetes, etc). Carpal tunnel syndrome is common during pregnancy - especially in the latter weeks which are usually accompanied by fluid retention/swelling.
BEST HOME EXERCISES FOR CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
The best home exercises for carpal tunnel syndrome are stretches for the hand and wrist (to create more motion/space at the carpal tunnel), tendon glides (to increase mobility of the tendons that pass through the carpal tunnel), and nerve glides (to “free” the nerve from whatever occlusion is causing the symptoms).

[@imsup6969]

i have been going to gym for the past 3 years i have not come up with this pain in 2 years of lifting but now since its been 3 years i have been having multiple problems like nerve pinch and i just started randomly having this before and on my rest day and yesterday knowing that i have an issue i did biceps and back i didnt have problems instantly but when i was sleeping in the middle of the night i woke up where my right shoulder was going a bit numb and rotated it and it went away after that and slept, then since morning i have been having several pinches on my right arm more pain on the biceps, i know there is no problem on the bicep muscle but its the nerve and it feels as so that my biceps is going to pop out and now i feel pinches on my shoulder and right neck area as well if there are any solutions or exercises please let me know

May I ask, what are the signs of damage tendons? Thank you

Luck you bruh my doctor didn't diagnose it coz l told l got to know about it from internet

[@docbooth8834]

When I was 15 years old my arm/wrist was broken at high school football practice. The local doctor and my coach set my arm without x-rays to guide them. Consequently I have a 15° offset both up and in on my wrist. It has been a blessing and a curse. The offset allowed me to remove the oil filter on my "92 Civic without lifting the car and removing it from below. Yet occasionally when sleeping my wrist would hurt from not being able to lay flat. Though I am over 65 years old, I am extremely active. 2 weeks ago I started noticing continual numbing and pain. Figuring it was one of the pains from the break I have lived with, I blew it off. Today the numbness interfered with helping my wife can green beans. I found your site and followed you doing the exercises through the video. Before your video finished I was enjoying 75% less pain. In past I have used 2.5" to 3" stainless steel ball bearings rotating 3 at one time in my hand forward and backward. This always took care of the problem if I felt twinges. They are currently in storage and unavailable. With your exercises I don't worry about dropping a steel ball and breaking my foot, toes or the floor. Thank you!

If I didn't try it I would not have believed it. I have been suffering with this for 7 or 8 years. And had given up playing guitar for almost 2 years. As you noted, I will exercise cautiously meaning too breaking myself into it slowly. I wanted to tell you I did all your exercises as described stopping the video between each stretch and resting approximately 10 seconds between reps. and completed the exercises. I also have a wrist brace and use it. I "Subscribed", "Clicked the Bell" and chose "All" to get your Videos. Thank you, for freeing me from this pain. I will continue to use these exercises 2 or 3 times a Week and when it flairs up again.

Subscribed your channel and will continue to tune in...Recently diagnosed moderately severe CTS and my doctor recommended surgery but opted to try non surgical treatment first and if there is no improvements then last option would be surgery. He started giving me steroid injection to my middle finger and another one after a week to my index finger, he referred me to PT and will reassess my CTS after 12 sessions of PT or 3 times a week for 4 weeks. I hope and pray together with your exercises my CTS will completely healed.

Great news!

[@alexanderlvt]

The origin of the carpal tunnel syndrome is not in the wrist but in the spine. More specific in the area between the 6th cervical and the 1st thoracic vertebrae and is caused by spinal misalignment which causes an irritation on the nerves that lead to this problem. Also T3, 4 and 6 need to be worked on as their misalignment affects the position of the ribs connecting to these vertebraes which in turn will change the position of the shoulder blade that lies on top of them and thus changes the tension in the arm muscles that attach to the shoulder blade. The carpal tunnel syndrome itself is not the origin, it is the symptom and as such working on the wrist will not solve it. A qualified osteopath should be able to fix this in (average) 3 sessions.

[@alexanderlvt]

@@swait239 sorry, no it will not work. The problem sits between the shoulder blades and also in the lower neck. Go and see your local osteopath. I am an osteopath and have been dealing with these symptoms for nearly 30 years. But you may find some relief in treating your own wrist by massaging it. Anything that you believe that it will help you, will help you.

[@saki3450]

I agree that it comes from around the area you described. I have horrible pain that wakes me up at night and if i hold my arm in certain position, like L shape close to the body, pain immediately disappears. It's only comfortable for me if i sleep on a side of that arm. If i turn any other way my thumb and entire hand instantly burns in pain

[@alexanderlvt]

@@swait239 indeed. Seach for an image of your ribcage for better understanding. The ribs connect to the vertebreas in the back and in the front to the chestbone. It forms sort of a circle. If one or more of the vertebreas between the shoulderblades gets blocked (and this happens a lot, mainly in T2,T3, T4 and T6, it will change the position of the ribs. The rib on one side is being pushed forwards and the opposite side is being pushed backwards. The shoulder blade lies on top of the ribs. So if the ribs change position, this will affect the position of the shoulder blade and thus change the tension in the muscles connecting to it. This will also cause that the coraciod processus, which is part of the shoulderblade, also moves backward. Since the shorter head of the biceps connects there, this in turn will the upper arm (humerus) inward and change its position relative to the acromial joint (collarbone-shoulderblade. This is quite a complicated thing. If you have no anatomical knowledge, I recommend to search some videos on YTube. Also the nerves in the lower part of the neck can be involved.

[@alexanderlvt]

@@saki3450 go see your local osteopath. This will not just heal by itself. It can sometimes be a bit persistent and. May take a couple of treatments.

[@kajalthakur322]

And what if the numbness is in wrist along with slight throbbing pain on the right side of the head?

[@dennisoborski7260]

I have EDS and reoccurring wrist pain. Due to hyper mobility I found it extremely helpful to activate the stretch more making a jazz-finger like motion in the final position. The pain numbed in seconds and all the bones and joints seemed to readjust easily wiggling the fingers slightly that way.

Thank you so much. I've been suffering lately and felt stuck but I have tried these and I am feeling a bit of relief

[@toneandtighten]

Happy to help!

[@navidafkari6632]

After doing only the last ones my burning sensation in my palms and pain are gone. So happy and pleased. Love you. Thanks so much. I had operations on both hands but the pain has come back and it’s killing again and I know it’s from my neck cause this time the little finger goes numb. I appreciate it. God bless you with the best in life. X
