To treat carpal tunnel you can massage localized acupoints such as Yangchi and Yanggu, and Ahshi points (points where soreness, numbness and pain are felt significantly).
Carpal tunnel mainly refers to long-term use or injury to the wrist triggering inflammation, which leads to wrist pain, numbness in the fingers and other discomforts, which can be improved through acupressure.
Yangchi is located in the posterior region of the wrist, on the dorsal distal transverse stripe of the wrist, in the depression of the ulnar edge of the extensor tendon of the finger. It can soothe the tendons and clear the channels. It can be used for wrist pain, shoulder and arm pain.
Yanggu is located in the posterior wrist area, in the depression between the ulnar tuberosity and the triangular bone. It can relax the tendons and collaterals and relieve pain. It can be used for lateral arm pain and wrist pain.
Yangxi is located in the wrist area, the dorsal distal transverse radius of the wrist, the distal end of the radial tuberosity, it can soothe the tendons and activate the collaterals, and can be used for treating wrist pain.
It is recommended that patients massage the acupoints under the guidance of a doctor, so as not to aggravate the condition by secondary damage caused by pressure.
