Numbness in Hand at Night
Do you perform repetitive activities during the day such as cutting hair, keyboarding, or mousing? Are you experiencing numbness or tingling in your hands and wrists at night? If so, you are likely suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, also known as a common Repetitive Stress Injury or Repetitive Strain Injury by some health care professionals. Intense hand and finger numbness at night is a classic symptom of Carpal Tunnel.
Sleep loss is a common result of intense hand numbness due to CTS. Any condition that results in routine sleep loss is serious and can lead to chronic heart and circulatory disorders such as heart arrhythmia, high blood pressure, stroke, onset of diabetes, day-time drowsiness, pyschological disorders, mood swings, irritability, dispression and migraines. This is why it is important to deal with any condition that results in routine sleep loss with a strong sense of urgency.
What causes numbness and tingling in the hands of CTS sufferers? Overworked muscles, tendons, fascia tissue that swell even slightly in the crowded neural pathway of the Carpal Tunnel pinch or compress the median nerve for CTS patients. This subtle swelling may be inperceptible to the naked eye, but can have a powerful effect when focused in such a tight space. Often people will say their hands feel swollen, but do not look like there is any swelling going on.
Irritated, compressed and inhibited nerves send out signals to your brain in the form of tingling and annoying numbness, discomfort and soreness. CTS patients who try to mask these bodily warning signs by taking painkillers may exacerbate, prolong and complicate their problems and extend the recovery time needed. When sleep loss hangs in the balance, the implications are worrisome.
 Carpal tunnel syndrome is often the end product of months ore even years of musculoskeletal system injury. Thus it's not surprising that if rest is the treatment of choice for the disorder, it can take quite a while to see the desired results. For most active people putting their life on hold and resting for months and months of downtime is simply not an option. Fortunately, the medical professionals at First Hand Medical have worked with a leading musculoskeletal specialist to develop a device that's been clinically shown to rapidly alleviate many of the worst symptoms associated with CTS in just a week or two and achieve remission over the Six Week Protocol. The fact that many chronic CTS sufferers get relief from numbness in just a few days while applying Carpal Solution therapy is nothing short of amazing.
This soothing wrist brace is easily worn by patients at night. It functions by massaging the hand at three strategic points, thus encouraging free movement and muscle redevelopment, blood flow, and rehabilitation of the injured connective tissue. Even though people start to feel relief of thier worst symptoms in the first two weeks, it is important to follow the full six week protocol for maximum benefit and to prevent the nagging symptoms of CTS from returning.
Stay informed, talk to your physician, and approach CTS proactively, persistently, and holistically to avoid progression to more debilitating stages of the disorder.
