7 Ways To Fight Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Doesn’t matter whether you are an office worker, a carpenter or a pianist: you are at risk!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a menace in the modern age. With more and more work being done using computers, there is now extra stress on the carpal tunnel in your hands. This constant stress puts pressure on the median nerve, leading to numbness, weakness and pain. This problem can strike anyone who works with his fingers.

What is Carpal tunnel syndrome?

Nerves and tendons in your hand passes through a small structure called the Carpal Tunnel in order to reach the fingers. Due to repetitive movement of the wrist and finger, this tunnel can become cramped, thus putting pressure on the nerves. This leads to numbness, weakness and pain in the hand.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Wrist pain
• Numbness in the fingers, especially in the thumb, index, middle finger and half of the ring finger.
• Weakness in the hand
• Pain in the forearm
• Pain “travelling” up the arm to the shoulders

7 tips to manage Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

1. Complete rest: Avoid using the affected hand for at least a couple of weeks. This will reduce the stress on the median nerve and give the carpal tunnel time to heal.

2. Wear a wrist splint: Some patients are given wrist splints to wear. This keeps the wrist in a neutral position throughout the day, and helps to speed up the healing process.

3. Do Carpal tunnel exercise: Researchers have developed several exercise aimed at the carpal tunnel. Such exercises help to strengthen and limber up the wrist muscles.

4. Try massage: Massage can help to reduce the feeling of pain and can help increase strength in the hands. Remember to inform the masseur  

5. Do Yoga: Numerous studies have found that regular Yoga practice helps to reduce the intensity of pain and numbness while simultaneously strengthening the wrists and the fingers.

6. Eat proper food: Foods like bell peppers, spinach, walnuts and pineapple help to reduce the symptoms and also speed up recovery.

7. Avoid acidic food: Citrus fruits (like oranges or grapefruit) should be avoided as the natural acids may increase inflammation of the carpal tunnel.
