How to Identify Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and the AMIT Solution
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a progressively painful condition that affects the hand and arm, caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist. The median nerve runs from the forearm, through a passageway in the wrist (the carpal tunnel), to the hand. Compression of this nerve can cause a range of painful symptoms.

Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is often caused by factors that crowd, irritate, or compress the median nerve, such as:
- Repetitive Stress: Frequent wrist movements, especially in activities like typing or using tools, can strain the tendons and compress the nerve.
- Trauma or Injury: A fall or direct injury to the wrist can damage the bones or tendons, leading to nerve compression.
- Underlying Health Conditions: Conditions like arthritis or diabetes can contribute to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Common symptoms include:
- Tingling or Numbness: This may occur in the fingers, hand, or even radiate up the arm.
- Pain: Pain can radiate from the wrist to the arm, shoulder, or into the palm and fingers.
- Weakness: You may feel a sense of weakness or difficulty gripping objects, leading to frequent dropping of items.
AMIT Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
What Happens During Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome can result from falling on the hands, jamming the wrist bones, repetitive stress, or direct trauma. Compression of the median nerve is often caused by the tightening of the retinaculum supporting the wrist or inhibition of the pronator quadratus muscle. Additionally, symptoms may stem from irritation of nerve roots in the cervical spine.
How Does AMIT Help?
Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (AMIT) addresses the root causes of carpal tunnel syndrome by realigning the carpal bones and reactivating the pronator quadratus muscle. Manipulating the cervical spine or carpal bones can significantly reduce symptoms without the need for surgery, as AMIT helps restore normal nerve function and relieve compression.
Steps to Take If You Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Rest and Ice: Rest the affected hand and apply ice to reduce inflammation and pain.
- Consult a Certified AMIT Physician: At AMIT, we specialize in treating carpal tunnel syndrome by correcting muscle imbalances and realigning the wrist bones. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
- Rehabilitation: After AMIT treatment, our team will guide you through exercises to strengthen the wrist and prevent recurrence of symptoms.
Why Choose AMIT for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
- Non-Invasive Treatment: AMIT offers a non-surgical solution by addressing muscle inhibition and nerve compression.
- Restores Nerve Function: By realigning the bones and reactivating muscles, AMIT helps alleviate pain and restore normal hand and wrist function.
- Prevents Future Injuries: Correcting the underlying causes of nerve compression reduces the likelihood of future problems.
