Do you have Carpal Tunnel...the tingling...the numbness...and the inability to effectively use your hands?

Do you want to overcome it but don't actually know much about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? If so, then you've found the right book!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Is A Big Problem That Affects A Lot of People

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (or CTS) affects more people than you might think. Anyone who uses their hands and fingers a lot at work can get it.

CTS is caused by some kind of compression in the nerves in the wrist. Your nerves, veins, and ligaments all run through the carpal tunnel, and any pressure on the nerves can cause CTS.

Doctors don't really know exactly why it happens, but they have some ideas on who is affected.

The most commonly affected people are those that use their hands a lot, such as in cutting, typing, or anything that uses small hand held tools. Also, people who work in factories or mills can develop carpal tunnel syndrome as well.

The most common symptoms are tingling, numbness, and pain in the hands. You know you have CTS if it wakes you up at night.

Even though doctors don't know exactly what causes it yet, they do have some ideas on how to remedy it...But most people who have CTS don't even know that they have it, much less how to treat it.This means they could be trapped with a condition they don’t know that they can overcome.
