Carpal Tunnel Pain: Why Your Hands Tingle and Go Numb

When Tingling or Numbness Won’t Go Away

If your hands tingle, burn, or go numb especially at night or when holding your phone, you might have carpal tunnel syndrome.
This happens when the median nerve (which runs through your wrist) becomes compressed by swelling or inflammation in a narrow space called the carpal tunnel.

It’s one of the most common causes of hand pain and weakness in adults, and if left untreated, it can lead to permanent nerve damage.

The good news? There are safe, natural ways to calm the nerve and restore normal hand function, no surgery required.

What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome develops when pressure builds on the median nerve.
That pressure often comes from:

• Repetitive wrist or hand movements (typing, gripping, lifting)
• Inflammation from arthritis or swelling in the wrist
• Poor posture that affects wrist and forearm alignment
• Hormonal changes or fluid retention
• Injury or scar tissue buildup

Over time, these factors reduce space in the carpal tunnel, squeezing the nerve and triggering tingling or numbness.

Common Symptoms You May Notice

• Tingling, numbness, or “pins and needles” in the thumb, index, or middle finger
• Pain that wakes you up at night
• Weak grip strength and dropping objects easily
• Burning or cramping in the hand or wrist
• Numbness that travels up the forearm

Symptoms often start mild and become more constant over time, especially when ignored.

Why Surgery Isn’t Always the Best Answer

While surgery can relieve pressure on the nerve, it comes with recovery time, scarring, and possible recurrence.
Most patients can find lasting relief without it by targeting inflammation, restoring blood flow, and addressing the root cause of compression naturally.
