Taking Care of Your Wrist the Smart Way

Perhaps, some of us thinks that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a new condition brought about by modern technology. Actually, this disorder dates back sometime in the 2oth century. It is a condition wherein a nerve in our hands, called the median nerve, is being compressed thus causing pressure to it that leads to pain and numbness. People who frequently uses the computer, plays the piano and the like are more prone to this condition.

This might be challenging to treat, although early treatment during it's mild stage is necessary to prevent long term complications. Pain medications are one method of relieving the pain that associated with this condition, but prolong use of pain medications could bring some adverse effects in our body, some may even get drug intolerance. Invasive way to treat this is through surgery. And I think most of us chooses this as our last resort.

Besides, there is another way of treating this by wearing splints or braces in our wrists overnight for support and to alleviate pain, or better yet use Smart Glove from IMAK for carpal tunnel relief. Smart Glove is the modernized way of preventing CTS and it's more economical and convenient to use. It was designed to correct wrist position and to improve blood circulation.

So prevent CTS, start it by taking care of your wrists.
