Although a true case of carpal tunnel syndrome is attributed compression of the median nerve at the wrist, irritation anywhere along the length of this nerve can lead to symptoms that mimic this syndrome. The median nerve leaves the spinal cord at the lower part of the neck, where it starts out as a series of nerve roots. Vertebral subluxations can cause irritation and/or inflammation of the nerve roots, as they pass very close to the joints and discs of the neck.
