Carpal Tunnel Causes
According to OSHA research, carpal tunnel syndrome costs workers and organizations billions of dollars per year, millions of work hours lost, and untold psychological and physical agony. What causes carpal tunnel syndrome, and what can sufferers do to ameliorate the symptoms and underlying root causes? Truth be told, a number of activities and some metabolic conditions are often found to contribute to CTS. The confusion over what is causing the symptoms can exacerbate the problem and slow the diagnosis.
Competitive Olympic rowers, for instance, can get chronic carpal tunnel syndrome from the action of feathering their oars thousands of times during practice. People who work with heavy machinery or who have to do lots of repetitive lifting or assembly line work can also experience carpal tunnel problems. But by far, the most common cause is intense computer keyboarding. Poorly trained typists sitting in ill-positioned desktop setups often rapidly develop a collection of symptoms that many physicians classify as either carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive stress injury.  Unlike other disorders, like joint or bone problems, which can be "fixed" with lasting surgical solutions or over-the-counter medications, carpal tunnel syndrome is stubbornly resistant to invasive measures. Indeed, carpal tunnel surgery, a last resort for many agonized sufferers, has only demonstrated a 40 percent success rate, and many people who recover end up re-injuring themselves by re-engaging in the activity which brought on the syndrome in the first place and become candidates for repeat CTS surgery.
All is not lost, however. Dr. Clyde Morgan, in conjunction with First Hand Medical, has developed a remarkably efficacious, and proven method to restore hand function and eliminate the pain, numbness and sleep interruption associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. .
