Wrists/Hands

Often times numbness or tingling can be felt into the hand and fingers. Simply because  one has tingling in their fingers does not mean they have ‘carpal-tunnel syndrome’ (a condition involving structures located at the front of the wrist resulting in numbness/tingling into the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger). Nerves can become entrapped within muscles and fascia as they course down from the neck, through the arm and into the hand and fingers resulting in tingling into the fingers. Therefore, it is important to examine the neck, shoulder, arm and wrist before arriving at a diagnosis.
