What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Nearly a tenth of the American population suffers form mild to severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). What causes carpal tunnel syndrome, and how can sufferers find relief from symptoms, which include numbness in the fingers, burning pain in the forearms, shoulders, and neck, and sleeplessness due to hand pain or numbness?
First of all, keep in mind that the vast majority of CTS sufferers endure a wide variety of repetitive strain injury symptoms. Repetitive activities apparently can accumulate so that subtle, seemly insignificant, physical tasks can lead to inflammation, joint and tendon problems, bunched fascia, nerve impingement and even nerve abrasion in chronic cases, as well as muscular degeneration and atrophy.
 That said, CTS may be caused by other conditions, including tumors, both benign and malign, changes in the body's hormonal balance associated with pregnancy, menopause, or the taking of birth control pills or other medication that induce changes in hormone levels. Also metabolic conditions like autoimmune disorders such as hypothyroidism and arthritis can contribute to CTS. Other metabolic conditions that can contribute to CTS include, diabetes, gout, obesity, and a condition called double crush syndrome. Repetitive stress activities that lead to CTS include gardening, long-distance driving such as truck drivers on big rigs, musical instrument practice, video game playing, cell phone text messaging, keyboarding, and mousing. Computer professionals, in particular, are at risk for developing CTS. Proper workstation ergonomics can alleviate some of the contributing factors to CTS but are unlikely to resolve the entire problem.
