CARPAL TUNNEL
Do You Suffer From Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a painful medical condition that affects many people. Basic life tasks and activities can become very difficult when suffering from this condition. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is often a work-related injury primarily found in adults that perform repetitive tasks with their hands. This includes people that work on computers for extended periods of time and assembly line workers in many different industries.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome 

Common symptoms of Carpal Tunnel include:
  • Pain and weakness in the hand and wrist area
  • Numbness or tingling radiating up to the forearm 
  • Swollen and puffy fingers and/or hand (although no swelling is visible)
  • Loss of sensation in hands 
  • Inability to distinguish between hot and cold

Tips for Preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
  • Remember to stretch before, during, and after work
  • Take regular, frequent breaks
  • Wear wrist splints
  • Be mindful of correct posture and wrist position
  • If you work in an assembly line, try to rotate different jobs with employees
