Carpal Tunnel Symptoms

You may suspect that you have carpal tunnel symptoms when it hurts to grab onto something. Your wrist feels weak and tender. You may also feel numbness and pain that runs up your arm.

Most people recover from CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) after several weeks of resting the affected hand and wrist. However, for those of you with chronic or recurring CTS, unresolved conflicts continue to exist. This page is meant for you.

Repetitive actions, such as typing, working a cash register, or playing musical instruments, often receive the blame. However, it is my experience that every case has an underlying conflict.

The conflicts behind CTS:

• You feel that your skills have been devalued.
• You may have a conflict about having to reject someone while not wanting to reject them, which results in feelings of depreciation.
• You may have a conflict of having to work at something you do not want to do and feeling depreciated by your job.
• You may have the inability to forgive or let go of past grief or misdeeds, and due to this feel devalued.

Case: William, age thirty-five, has trouble welding. It becomes so painful that he can no longer work. We worked together and found that his foreman was making fun of his work, calling it Kindergarten quality. Once William chose to face his feelings, he was instantly healed. He quit his job and is now happily self-employed. Typical cases: Steve, 48, worked as a bagger in a grain mill. He developed CTS and couldn't do his job anymore. Steve was very competitive and there was a bagger that could bag faster than Steve. By treating his self-devaluation conflict, the CTS instantly vanished and never returned. Acupuncture can be effective in relieving CTS in as little as two days. Do this by massaging the heart/lung points on the affected hand. Home
