You're Giving Yourself Carpal Tunnel

Because you are using an electronic device to read this blog suggests that you may be at risk for developing carpal tunnel.  Numbness in the fingers and hand, along with hand and wrist pain are the main symptoms. This extremely annoying condition worsens at night. It commonly occurs during pregnancy or with weight gain.

This hand and wrist disorder is one orthopedic condition where the incidence is sky rocketing, mainly due to the increased use of computers, hand held electronics, poor posture, and bad nutrition.  At Blanda Orthopedics & Physical Therapy, we treat carpal tunnel with an emphasis on non-surgical management and prevention.
