Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Did you notice that your fingers become numb at night? Or Did you wake up with numbness and tingling in your hands that may run all the way to your shoulder? If the symptoms continue, it may be Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and if it is not treated in the early stage, you may lose the hand grip totally, because your hand muscles will get shrunk and the worst part is, it induces deep muscle pain and eventually you may have to undergo surgery.

What are the Causes?

CTS is painful and disruptive to your daily life. Repetitive motions of the wrist that you do over and over, especially when your wrist is above your fingers, you will become vulnerable to CTS. Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hypothyroidism, Obesity and Diabetes have more chance of getting CTS.

Hand Grip Strengthener For CTS Cure

Early diagnosis plays a key role because it can be treated easily and prevent permanent nerve damage.

Hand Grip Strengthening exercises are most effective when combined with other treatments, such as change of work routine and simple medications, for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. You need to have a break from your daily routine of work, that involves a repetitive movement of hands.

Because mild wrist exercising with a grip strengthener will help the median nerve movement around the carpal tunnel. This exercise may be particularly effective if your CTS is caused by inflammatory conditions, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis to relieve pressure from the nerve. With our portable, easy to carry strengthener kit that fits in your handbag, work bag or even pocket, you can do quick wrist exercises while you’re standing in line at the grocery store, driving or sitting at your desk at work.

Wrist exercises increase flexibility and help lower the risk of injury. Stretches using mild hand stretcher are recommended as a preventive measure or to ease the slight pain. You can minimize or even avoid pain by doing these simple workouts.

In addition to the workouts, applying cold packs, taking frequent breaks, splinting your wrist at night can give you relief from the symptoms and muscle pain and will ease the hand and wrist movements.

For Nerve Relaxation After Surgery

If an early prediction is not done, then exercise with a hand grip strengthener after surgery for carpal tunnel to prevent nerve scarring. The range-of-motion produced during the exercises like nerve-gliding exercises might help heal significant trauma to the wrist. 

Before attempting any exercise, consult your doctor to take which kind of exercise that suits you best for the improvement in hand grip strength. No need to wait until you get affected from CTS, if your work involves hours of repeated movement of the wrists and fingers, get our Hand Grip Strengthener kit and work out on the daily basis. After all, we know that "Prevention is better than cure".
