The pain and burning was horrible, it prevented me from even picking up a pencil or holding a glass. As a massage therapist it was devastating, my hands are my livelihood! I tried everything and finally had to close down my therapy practice because the pain was so severe. I knew I wasn\u2019t going to go for surgery, but carpal tunnel syndrome was a hurdle that was pushing me out of work and I didn\u2019t know where to turn.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I started to think of the logic of the body.\u00a0 While everyone was looking at my wrist and forearm, the median nerve that causes the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome doesn\u2019t start in my arm, but where does it start?\u00a0 Research showed that the nerve actually starts in your NECK!\u00a0 Who would have thought this would be what causes carpal tunnel!<\/p>\n<p>I found the solution to my problem, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcssl.com\/app\/?af=1618070\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>I\u2019ve been bringing it to people worldwide<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0ever since.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center; color: #339966;\">How Muscles in Your Neck Can Be What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/muscles-cause-carpal-tunnel-syndrome\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/muscles-cause-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-233x300.jpg\" alt=\"muscles cause carpal tunnel syndrome\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/muscles-cause-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/muscles-cause-carpal-tunnel-syndrome.jpg 281w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/a>A bundle of nerves called the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.getbodysmart.com\/ap\/nervoussystem\/nerves\/arm_legnerves\/tutorial.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Brachial Plexus<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0(see three lines in neck of drawing) comes out of your cervical vertebrae and at the top of your shoulder the fibers divide into three nerves:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\u00a0The Median Nerve \u2013 which goes to your thumb and first two fingers<\/li>\n<li>The Ulnar Nerve \u2013 which goes to your ring and pinky fingers<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0The Radial Nerve \u2013 which goes to your wrist<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Your Scalenes muscle is in front of, and in back of the brachial plexus.<\/p>\n<p>When the scalenes are in spasm, they put pressure on the bundle of nerves and it can cause tingling and numbness to be felt all the way to your fingers.
