Is there a trigger point to massage for carpal tunnel pain? What a great question and the answer is YES!
But not just one–there are lots of trigger points.
All kinds of possibilities exist for pressure on a nerve as it travels from your neck to your hand.
1. Here’s one cause of carpal tunnel pain: Nerves hate pressure no matter whether it is from a muscle or a bone. So what do your muscles do? They give you pain, numbness or tingling in your hand. That is how they are telling you to “get that pressure off me!”
2. Here’s another cause: There is also the possibility of trigger points causing
your pain. Trigger points are really irritable areas of muscle that “fire” or cause pain elsewhere.
In the case of carpal tunnel syndrome, you may have one or more trigger points. They can occur in muscles in your neck, your chest, your upper arm or lower arm. (I don’t think I have forgotten any there.)
So that’s a very good question but the answer is a bit complex. But if you understand how trigger points work and if you uncover the reason(s) for your pain, then you can get started with natural carpal tunnel pain relief.
