Prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Follow These Tips Now!

Whether you are an office worker or a homemaker – Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affects your hands in such a way that it severely reduces your ability to perform your duties. The pain, numbness and stiffness associated with this condition can make your hands practically unusable. 

In order to reduce the risk of getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, just follow these 5 simple tips.

Preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

1. Reduce your grip: Most people use more force than necessary while working. If your work involves a computer, then try to hit the keys softly. For prolonged handwriting, use a big pen with a soft grip and smooth ink. This way you won't have to hold the pen tightly or press hard on to the paper.

2. Take regular breaks: Give your hands and wrists a break by gently stretching and bending them periodically. For every hour of work, take a 5 minute break. Alternate finger-intensive tasks when possible. If you use equipment that vibrates or that requires you to exert a great amount of force, taking breaks becomes all-the-more necessary. 

3. Watch your form: Avoid bending your wrist too much either up or down. Keep it in a relaxed middle position. If you use a keyboard at work, keep it level with the elbow or slightly lower. 

4. Maintain posture: Incorrect posture can cause your shoulders to stretch forward. When your shoulders are in this improper position, the neck and shoulder muscles are constrained, and thus press on nerves in your neck. This can affect your wrists, fingers and hands.

5. Keep your hands warm: You're more likely to develop wrist pain, numbness and stiffness if you live and work in a cold environment. To avoid the weather from ruining your wrist, wear gloves to keep your fingers and wrists nice and warm.
