You use your arms and hands for almost everything! All movement in your arms, wrists and hands is controlled by the brain. The brain connects them with the rest of your body through billions of nerves that make up your nervous system.
The nerves that come out of the middle and upper back and supply information to the shoulders, arm, elbows, wrists, hands and fingers can become irritated. This happens when the spinal bones in the neck and upper back are misaligned and they damage the very nerves they are supposed to protect.
