The carpal tunnel is a very specific tunnel in the palm of the hand that is surrounded by bones and ligaments. If and when the median nerve of the hand experiences excessive pressure, it can result in carpal tunnel syndrome. The symptoms of this condition include tingling, numbness, and even muscle weakness in the affected hand and arm. Carpal tunnel is a very common condition, but fortunately, it can be treated at home with circulation or carpal tunnel support gloves. Nonetheless, you should still talk to your doctor about different treatment options.
