OKG-23 CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME AID

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is pressure on a medial nerve in the wrist. It causes tingling, numbness and pain in your hand and fingers.
A person suffering from carpal tunnel has weakened muscle strength and problems with grip. There are many reasons that increase the risk of carpal tunnel: rheumatic diseases, genetics, sex (women). However, one of the most common causes is office computer work when your wrist is maintained in excessive dorsal flexion. This is the case when working on the computer, using a mouse or touch pad, when the median nerve becomes overly compressed. In most cases, carpal tunnel syndrome gets worse over time. If untreated for too long, it can lead to permanent dysfunction of the hand, including loss of sensation in the fingers and weakness. For this reason, it is important to diagnose and treat carpal tunnel syndrome promptly. For this purpose, our innovative OKG-23 carpal tunnel syndrome aid is ideal.
