“Carpal Tunnel Pain Relief Now!” Is this really possible? Can it be true? Well, maybe.
There are many, many different factors, or causes, in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It is NOT something that happens just at your wrist. The causes can be in your whole body or in your neck or in your arm.
Surgical treatment is generally performed at the wrist, but that doesn’t mean that is where the problem originates. That’s just where the symptoms–pain, numbness or tingling–seem to come from.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is actually caused by vitamin B6 deficiency, posture, work habits, diabetes, as well as other things.
Last week a lovely clerk was helping me. While she processed my paperwork, I had the opportunity to watch and observe her. She was quite short, she had short upper arms, and she was very much overweight.
She used a keyboard with a soft wrist support in front of it. Because of her weight, she couldn’t hold her elbows next to her waist, as I advise. She rested her wrists on the support, rather than holding her straight wrists over the rest support (it’s supposed to be used when resting, between actually typing.)
Because of her weight, she couldn’t place the keyboard closer to her body, as I recommend. Because of her height and size and the shortness of her upper arms, she had to stretch to reach her keyboard. Stretching aggravates muscles in the arm, back and chest that cause carpal tunnel symptoms.
Since there are so many different reasons for carpal tunnel syndrome, and since everyone is built differently, there is NO one-size-fits-all cure. Each of us must be our own best doctor and physical therapist and figure out WHY we are having carpal tunnel symptoms.
If you are overweight, learning what to eat to normalize your weight will have a lot of benefits for your whole body. It will also allow you to work in positions that won’t aggravate your muscles, because you will be able to work in more neutral positions. You’ll feel so much better.
If your back is weak, and aches and easily gets strained, getting a strong back will give you lots of benefits all over. Check out the articles at Simple Strengthening to learn how easily you can get a stronger back side. You can actually get stronger in bed!
So, you might have relatively quick relief because your situation is simple to correct. But, if your carpal tunnel symptoms have multiple causes, it will take longer for you to get rid of them. Can you do it? I have faith in you. And, you deserve to feel better.
