The median nerve and nine different tendons that control your fingers travel through this tunnel. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve and tendons become compressed or squeezed at the tunnel. CTS is usually caused by a combination of factors. Age, heredity, hormonal changes, Diabetes, thyroid conditions, trauma, and hand use can all contribute to the development of CTS.
