Understanding the Root Cause
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), carpal tunnel syndrome is commonly attributed to Qi and Blood stagnation in wrist channels, often due to Dampness, Phlegm, or Cold obstructing the median nerve pathway. Repetitive strain or trauma weakens Spleen and Kidney function, leading to poor circulation and nerve compression that causes characteristic symptoms. Related conditions such as Arthritis & Joint Pain, Sports Injuries, and Stress & Anxiety may also contribute to tension, inflammation, and discomfort, which is why TCM treatment focuses on restoring circulation, reducing nerve irritation, and supporting overall wellbeing.
