Wrist/ Hand
What is carpal tunnel syndrome and how can I avoid it?
The bones, ligaments and muscles of the wrist are located in such a way that a tunnel is created for the tendons of forearm muscles and nerves. It is when the median nerve becomes entrapped or compressed that signs and symptoms turn into Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). When structures such as tendons and nerves are compressed inflammation becomes apparent. This inflammation is the usual cause of developing CTS. The best way to avoid or manage CTS is to heat and stretch the involved muscles. A general wrist and hand strengthening program will also benefit to limit possible tendon injury.
