Home Remedy #1: How To Beat Hand & Wrist Pain At It's Own Game


Carpal tunnel syndrome (hand and wrist pain) is a repetitive stress
injury. It usually slowly develops over time. 
The repetitive contraction and relaxation of the arm muscles . . . and . . .
continuous hand and finger movements can irritate the nerves,tendons,
 and the muscle in the arms,wrists, and hands. Computer work, 
writing, typing, using the mouse,and other activities can aggravate 
the hand, wrist, and forearm.

The "carpal tunnel" is a small canal inside of your wrist. 
The top part is formed by the wrist bones, and the bottom is 
formed by a ligament. Think of it this way: The wrist bones are near the
top of your hand. 
If you turn your hand over, imagine a piece of nylon tape running 
across your wrist.

Your nerves, arteries, veins, and tendons run through this
"tunnel". You may have carpal tunnel
syndrome if you experience and of the following symptoms:
# Tingling hands or fingers
# Weakness in your hands
# Numbness and/or Swelling
# Neck Tension can accompany
# Pain at night
# Hand Clumsiness

The best home remedy I've found for carpal syndrome is the take a ¼
inch thick rubber band and stretch it over the tips of your fingers. 
Then open your hand against the resistance of the rubber band 20 times. 

Repeat this procedure (with both hands) twice daily.
Most of my patients do this while they drive home after work. 
We rarely extend our fingers . .. especially against resistance.
So, this home remedy will help. Combined with chiropractic care,
you can expect to get some relief of hand and wrist pain within about 4 weeks 
and also if you do this exercise (faithfully) twice daily.

 

yours in health,
