Carpal Tunnel Symptoms… But It Might Not Be Your Wrist 👀
Numbness, tingling, weak grip, hand pain —
Most people are told it’s carpal tunnel.
👉 Here’s what many don’t know:
Those symptoms often don’t start in the wrist.
The nerves to your hand begin in the neck, travel through the arm, pass by a muscle near your elbow called the pronator teres, and then reach your hand. If that nerve gets irritated along the way, your hand feels it — even if your wrist looks “fine.”
Think kinked hose — the problem shows up at the end, but the issue is higher up.
That’s why braces and injections don’t always help.
Chiropractic looks at the whole nerve pathway, not just the wrist.
