The most famous of these is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. If this happens on a repeated or chronic basis, these inflamed tendons can place pressure on the nerves that travel next to them. The result is tingling and numbness in the affected body part. There are three types of CTDs. The third category of illnesses are vascular tissue compression disorders.
Vascular tissue refers to blood vessels.
If pressure is placed against the blood vessels, blood flow can be impaired, which can lead to numbness and pain in the affected body part. We often think of CTDs as only affecting the hands and wrists. Actually, CTDs can occur at almost any joint of the body where repetitive, forceful, or awkward motions occur. Bursitis typically occurs in the shoulder joints. Tension neck disorders occur in the neck region.
