Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome caused by muscles in your neck? You bet it could be! So I figured it was probably time to talk about scalene muscles again.
Those are the nasty little muscles in your neck that can cause symptoms all over your upper body. They can cause all sorts of pain. They cause knots in your back between your spine and shoulder blades. They can make your chest and shoulder hurt. The scalenes will make the back and front of your upper arm hurt.
And of course, best (or worst) of all…they will cause carpal tunnel symptoms!
Well, they aren’t nasty muscles actually. They are
good, useful muscles. It’s only when they get unhappy that the scalenes cause symptoms like pain or tingling.
If your physical therapy or massage therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome isn’t working, please go to

Scroll through the play list and look for shows that say “neck muscles” or “all in your head.” Those shows will talk about your scalene muscles. Some of the links may not be good anymore but the info is golden.
The good news is: Your scalene muscles can be treated. Numbness, pain, weakness and tingling can go away when your scalenes are released, or relaxed. This is a manual process–it is done by hand.
I love scalenes but only when they are being nice! You can help these muscles in your neck so they will stop causing carpal tunnel symptoms.
Thanks for your comment. The only problem is…Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is NOT usually caused by the area around the carpal tunnel. Neither is it caused by a deficiency of medication.
Even though researchers and doctors in conventional medicine look for a treatment, they are not usually looking for the cause. Without paying attention to the cause–but only looking at the symptoms–they cannot get rid of CTS naturally.
Natural treatment for CTS doesn’t have much profit in it and that’s what drug companies and doctors like: a treatment that generates profit.
It is true that movement can aggravate or eliminate carpal tunnel type symptoms in the hands.
It is true that swelling inside the carpal tunnel can cause symptoms. Swelling is not a cause, however. Swelling is a sign that something else is causing the swelling.
Since there are many causes of CTS getting rid of the cause gets rid of the symptoms. You just have to figure out the cause of your symptoms and then take action to get rid of it. We are after natural relief here.
Thanks again for your comment.
