I watched a very good video about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and natural healing ten or so years ago.
The chiropractor who did the presentation indicated that bones move and can press on the nerves in the carpal tunnel. He also indicates that a doctor who does manipulation can help.
The thing to remember is that muscles move bones.
Got that? Bones move but muscles move bones!
If you do not have tight, out-of-balance muscles pulling on your bones, the bones will NOT move out of place unless you have an accident which causes them to shift.
That means if you release the tight muscles (and allow them to relax) with massage or other self-help techniques, your carpal tunnel pain can go away.
You can learn how to do your own muscle and trigger point releases for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other hand, wrist and arm pain. Claire Davies wrote a really easy to use, self help trigger point manual. You can find it at Amazon or your local library.
