How You Get (and Eliminate) Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • 7 years ago
We've all heard of the condition known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (sometimes just Carpal Tunnel or even Carpals). It's very common, and it's blamed on a variety of factors going on inside your body. Most scientists and doctors agree that carpal tunnel isn’t just a kind of repetitive strain injury (RSI). Rather, repetitively straining your fingers and hand brings on carpal tunnel syndrome. But what exactly is going on depends on the person’s genetics, physiology, and emotional state (yes, certain emotions can make the condition worse!). The only thing doctors know for sure is that stressing your flexor tendons (like when you type) is the trigger for bringing on carpal tunnel syndrome when it otherwise wouldn’t show up.

Doctors describe that carpal tunnel syndrome behaves more like a disease or a genetic disorder than an acquired problem like trauma. It’s as if the condition is always lurking somewhere below a threshold, and not quite noticed. But when you do things like a lot of typing or heavy manual labor, it makes the “dormant” disease rear up and bite you.

The main thing doctors agree on is that if you already have symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, then you must treat it quickly or it will only worsen. Symptoms in your hand, thumb and fingers such as pain, numbness, tingling, burning, weakness or itching may be tolerable right now, but they will surely worsen without treatment. The first thing you must do is reduce any extra hand stresses like typing, mouse use, and overall forceful stressing of your flexor tendons. Simultaneously, and right away, you must use a traction wrist brace to relieve pressure on your median nerve during the day. Then at night, you must use a wrist splint to keep you hand immobilized.

This potent one-two punch is called “Enhanced Brace Therapy”. To start, use the Carpal-Rx Traction Wrist Brace. It's a specially designed traction wrist brace that eases the pressure inside your carpal tunnel. You wear the Carpal-Rx Traction Wrist Brace during the day, while you work. As you wear it, it widens your carpal tunnel and relieves the pressure on your median nerve. Then at night, you wear the Micro-Soft Carpal Tunnel Brace. It’s designed specifically for carpal tunnel syndrome (not arthritis, sprain, broken wrist, etc.). Together, night bracing and daily traction give you “Carpal-Rx Enhanced Brace Therapy” -- the best remedy available to get rid of carpal tunnel syndrome effectively and quickly.
