Carpal Tunnel and Wrist Pain:  By now most of us are aware of the toll that prolonged typing, texting, improper use of gym weights and other repetitive hand motions take on our wrists.  When it has gone on long enough to misalign the small bones in the wrist, this can cause compression of the nerves that travel between the wrist bones, causing localized pain.  This is called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  Very often, an allied component of, and frequent co-causative agent in this type of wrist pain is pressure on the roots of the nerves in the neck - nerves that feed the muscles of the wrist, weakening the wrists’ strength.  When both the neck and wrist scenarios are present, it is referred to as a double crush syndrome.  If the nerves in the neck that are contributing to the wrist pain are not freed of pressure, there can never be complete healing of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  It is also imperative that once the pressure has been removed from the neck nerves that the neck be stabilized with corrective exercises to prevent recurrence.
