Avoiding Carpal Tunnel To Keep Working?
Avoiding carpal tunnel syndrome is something that can be done, but it takes careful planning. Throughout the day, people who perform repetitive motions will have to be conscious of the fact that they have to do certain exercises and take frequent breaks if they are to avoid injury to the carpal tunnel area. Otherwise, they may be subject to a workplace injury that will keep them from doing their jobs. The first thing that people can do to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome is to perform a few exercises before beginning their duties. For the hands, this could be as simple as shaking them before starting work. It will be necessary to take frequent breaks throughout the day; the exercises will need to be repeated before resuming work each time a break ends. If people sit long hours throughout the day, they will need to be aware of their posture. Good posture is important to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome. Workers do not want to be hunched over their computers or other machines while they are working, because they need their hands to be in a straight line. If the hands are higher or lower than a thirty degree angle, then the carpal tunnel area has the potential to become squeezed. This is how injuries begin. To avoid this, the hands should be in as straight a line as possible such as when typing at a keyboard. Sitting for long hours is not recommended if someone wants to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome, but with good posture, it can be prevented. People need to make sure that their feet are planted firmly on the ground with their knees bent at a forty-five degree angle with their backs straight. This will keep the body from scrunching into a position that will squeeze the carpal tunnel area in the hands. Also because sitting for long hours is not good for the body, people will need to take a break every hour, as was mentioned above. During these breaks, people will need to stand up and perform, not just exercises for the hands that are executing repetitive motions, but for the entire body. Stretching exercises will help people avoid carpal tunnel syndrome when they take frequent breaks.

Does workman's comp cover carpal tunnel when you didn't have it before you switched to a job at work that involves a lot of computer work?
Well it MAY..the real question is can you Medically prove that one you didn't have carpal tunnel syndrome before the job switch and more importantly can you prove that the job switched caused the CTS and not just aggravated it or that hobbies or non-work related activities didn't cause your carpal tunnel symptoms? Every state is different, so you need to go to your states website (ie state.gov) It has pretty much been determined that computer work does not routinely CAUSE carpal tunnel. Harvard did a landmark study that you can find. Many lawyers still claim it does....but the cases have gone down quite a bit from the 90's when everybody was jumping on the ol keyboard bandwagon.
Can acupuncture Cure carpal tunnel syndrome?
This is impossible to answer.Classical or traditional Cchinese acupuncture treats the dynamic body as a whole and not a symtom (CTS).But expereince tells us that: Yes, it might well cure your problem. But nothing can be said as to the length of treatment. If it is accompanied by Tui Na (chinese physiotherpay) then acupuncture would stand a very good chance of curing CTS but it will probably not work on its own ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most reputable medical experts would say no...acupuncture and massage therapy and yoga etc..have been studied over the years and none of them have proven to "cure" carpal tunnel syndrome. Can they relieve carpal tunnel symptoms? absolutley!..how much depends on the cause of your CTS and how severe of a case you have, your age, how long have you had it before treatment etc...
