This time, we will tell you everything you need to know about carpal tunnel.
Let’s start by understanding, what is carpal tunnel?
The carpal tunnel is a canal located between the wrist bones and the carpal ligament. Through it pass the flexor nerves of the fingers and the median nerve, which can lead to an injury. Here are some early symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome: Pain in the forearm and wrist, along with sensations of cramps, numbness, and tingling in the fingers. Muscle atrophy, particularly in the pad beneath the thumb. Difficulty handling objects, with things falling from the hands.
Now, let’s discuss what causes carpal tunnel syndrome?
Many tendons and nerves pass through the carpal tunnel, and the median nerve, in particular, has very limited space in the central area. If, for any reason, this space becomes even smaller, the internal pressure increases, compressing the median nerve. While the causes can vary, there are three primary conditions associated with it, such as: Rheumatic diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis; for mothers, breastfeeding or pregnancy; jobs that involve repetitive hand and wrist movements.
Finally, what should be done?
Preventing carpal tunnel syndrome is difficult. It can only be avoided in cases where it's caused by repetitive movements, and efforts should be made to avoid them. Here are 3 alternatives: Take frequent breaks from activities to rest, stretch, change positions, or alternate with other tasks. Evaluate body mechanics to ensure they are proper—this is key in preventing carpal tunnel syndrome. Use high-quality wrist supports, if necessary, to properly immobilize and protect the carpal tunnel area.

First, we must decide which hand we are going to use, as this determines the position of the bars. Insert the hand into the fabric support that holds the wrist support, place the corrugated bar inside the pocket in the palm area, and insert the smooth bar inside the pocket on the upper part of the hand. Tighten and close the wrist support.
