In severe cases, motor function can also be disrupted. There are many factors that can contribute to the development of CTS: inflammation, compression, bony abnormality, mechanical injury, or certain lifestyle choices. Abnormalities have been proven to be tangibly visible with ultrasound in prior research projects in the form of decreased cross sectional area of the carpal tunnel, flattening of the median nerve, retinacular bowing and increased median nerve intensity. Although CTS has proven to be multifactorial, the standard of care for patients with CTS has historically been wrist immobilization and/or surgical release by endoscopic or open approach. This is despite evidence that osteopathic manipulation techniques have
