Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

We see and hear mention on TV during college and NBA/WNBA games about the often mediocre performance from the Free Throw line. Nightly we see high-paid NBA players who often can’t make more than 50-60% of their “free” shots. Teams sometimes shoot only 50% from the Line for a whole game, 15 for 30 recently for Cleveland, for example. Solutions are rarely stated, usually just the announcers’ surprise at the poor level of shooting.

Put the ache on ice. Fill a plastic bag with ice, wrap it in a thin towel, and vigorously rub it over the top of your wrist. The ice helps reduce fluid retention around the ligament that covers the carpal tunnel, which reduces the pressure on the median nerve.

These cysts almost always come from joints and may start in any joint in the hand or wrist. Another one of the most common places for a cyst is the dorsum of the finger between the skin creases of the end knuckle (DIP joint) and the start of the fingernail.

The first thing to do is reduce the amount of stress you put on your wrist. You should change your daily routines and work habits to avoid worsening the current condition. Also, you can use Orthopedic Splint s which you’ve probably seen. These limit the motion you put your wrist through and stop further aggravation. It is a good idea to use a Orthopedic Splint Material at night so you can get a good night’s rest. This helps prevents unwanted motion and allows you to heal and recuperate.

Of course, you can always start your search online. Trusted names like Miken, Easton, Rawlings, Wilson, DeMarini and more can be found via the internet.

Sit up or stand up. I know that you’ve been told to either sit up or stand up your entire life, but that doesn’t change when you’re playing guitar either. This is just another one of those quick lessons that slouching while you work the frets will encourage you to practice bad habits like stare at your fingers or screw up your hand placement.

Diabetes can change the hands normal feel or sensation of touch. This decrease in sensation is due to the damages to the nerves or decrease in blood circulation.

Lastly, if you are already experiencing pain and would like professional care a good choice is chiropractic. A good chiropractor can help relieve your pain quickly with a proper diagnosis targeting the exact problem areas. This can be done using massage therapy, motion and function restoration techniques, gentle alignments and nutrition therapy. Also, look for a chiropractor who specializes in the relief and treatment of Carpal Tunnel. They can get you feeling better fast.
