What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is currently the most common nerve entrapment, affecting 3-5% of the general population. Females are affected roughly two or three times more often than males. Carpal tunnel syndrome most often is found in adults age 45-60.
The good news is that with the right chiropractic care, you can see major improvements and get free from the pain.
