The fourth side consists of a broad and strong ligament that extends from each end of the horseshoe to form the roof of the tunnel. The contents of the tunnel include the median nerve along with nine tendons.

What is causing my symptoms?

Due to stress, including repetitive motions, the eight carpal bones can lose their healthy alignment. When this happens, it causes pressure or pinching of the median nerve, trapping it between the bone and the thick ligament that forms the roof. This causes symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and burning in the fingers of the hand. It can also cause a decrease in strength and loss of grip strength in the hand.
