Carpal tunnel
.......arises from compression of the median nerve by surrounding tendons and ligaments in the wrist. This results in a range of symptoms including pins and needles or burning pain in the fingers, weakness in grasping and holding things in the hand and coldness of the fingers.
Acupuncture is used locally to invigorate blood flow, relax and loosen the surrounding muscles and tendons and relieve pain.
It is advised that during treatment the affected wrist and hand is rested as much as possible to promote recovery and avoid further damage. Acupuncture is ideal for those who wish to manage their pain naturally.
