The Source Of Carpal Tunnel
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel can be caused by potential nerve entrapment sites. This includes the wrist and elbow and need to be examined by a qualified healthcare practitioner.
The most commonly overlooked source of Carpal Tunnel symptoms come from nerve roots in the neck. In fact, a study in in the Journal Lancet showed that up to 75% of carpal tunnel patients had a nerve problem in their neck. As, such, it’s for this reason I strongly suggest that anyone displaying these symptoms should have their spine and nervous system assessed by a chiropractor.
I have helped countless patients who were diagnosed with, or demonstrating symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Those who sought help are now living pain free. Unfortunately, too many people are quickly told by their medical doctor that they need medication or even surgery. With many Carpal Tunnel Syndrome cases reportedly being mis-diagnosed, in most cases these procedures offer little help. Furthermore, they have the potential to make matters worse!
What Does Food Have To Do With It?
There is a strong possibility that there is a nutritional component to a patients Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This potential evidence should not be ignored. In fact, the symptoms could be due to nutritional deficiencies or heavy metal toxicity.
For example, a number of studies have linked people deficient in vitamin B6, to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. So if you are deficient, this is something that definitely needs to be addressed.
To reverse this condition, patients normally take 1-3 Vitamin B6 200 mg 1-3 times day, for a couple months. Also, consider getting tested for zinc deficiency, as this can prevent the conversion of B6 into its active form.

If all of this fails, its time to consider having your levels tested for heavy metal toxins. This can be resolved with a heavy metal detox program. A naturopath or certified practitioner of functional medicine can help you with this.
