Hand and Wrist Pain

Hand and wrist pain can exist without being labeled Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. It usually involves repetitive strain or overuse type injuries from sports activities, using hands to stop from falling, lifting heavy objects, increased computer usage, and other activities that utilize the hands such as knitting and performing massage therapy. Thumb and finger pain syndromes also exists and can be treated. Chiropractors are trained to evaluate, treat and manage such cases.

Exercises to Prevent or Reduce Hand and Wrist Pain

Many of those who spend most of their days in front of a computer often experience hand and wrist pain due to repetitive hand and wrist movements from typing and using the mouse. Those whose jobs include using computers such as secretaries, assistants, writers, transcribers, and encoders are ones that are affected the most. While some offices carry out proper ergonomic designs, it all still goes down to too much strain on the forearms and the wrists.
