1. A Brief Brush with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Lifestyle changes, work environment, seating habits and posture
have led health problems, one of them is carpal tunnel syndrome
(CTS), a condition characterized by tingling, numbness and
parenthesis in the affected thumb, index and middle finger some
individuals experience referred pain into the forearm, upper arm,
shoulder and neck. CTS are considered a nerve impingement
disorder, whereby the median nerve is compressed within the
narrow passageway of the carpal tunnel, located on the palm side
of wrist.
There could be several factors contributing to the carpal tunnel
syndrome – the anatomy of the wrist, some health problems and
possibly repetitive motion or static overuse of the hands and
wrists.
Timely diagnosis and proper treatment can ensure carpal tunnel relief and help alleviate symptoms
like tingling and numbness while restoring the normal function of hand and wrist.
Signs and symptoms:
 Sharp pain or ache on the front side of hands and wrists
 Pins and needles syndrome (parenthesis)i.e. tingling or numbness in thumb, index, middle
finger, and often in the one-half of the ring finger
 Feeling the need to stretch hands all the time
 Gradual loss of coordination and control
Steps to get temporary relief:
 Taking short breaks from repetitive activities involving the use of hands
 Losing weight (those who are overweight)
 Rotating wrists, stretching palms and fingers
 Taking over-the-counter pain-relievers
 Wearing snug wrist splint (available over the counter) at night
 Avoiding sleeping on hands
 Consulting a healthcare provider
While the steps listed above may provide temporary relief from pain and discomfort, it is crucial to
consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis of the condition, investigate the non-invasive and invasive
methods of treating the condition, and then seek a reliable solution for permanent relief.
Many individuals that were suffering with carpal tunnel syndrome have achieved complete relief
using the FLEXTEND®-RESTORE™ Reversible Training System and its specific carpal tunnel relief
exercise program. A custom or snug fit (not tight) would ensure quick recovery. Following a clinician’s
advice and using FLEXTEND®-RESTORE™ as required can work faster to restore the normal functioning
of hands and arms.
