Do you have Carpal Tunnel...the tingling...the numbness...and the inability to effectively use your hands?

Do you want to overcome it but don't actually know much about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? If so, then you've found the right book!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Is A Big Problem That Affects A Lot of People

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (or CTS) affects more people than you might think. Anyone who uses their hands and fingers a lot at work can get it.

CTS is caused by some kind of compression in the nerves in the wrist. Your nerves, veins, and ligaments all run through the carpal tunnel, and any pressure on the nerves can cause CTS.

Doctors don't really know exactly why it happens, but they have some ideas on who is affected.

The most commonly affected people are those that use their hands a lot, such as in cutting, typing, or anything that uses small hand held tools. Also, people who work in factories or mills can develop carpal tunnel syndrome as well.

The most common symptoms are tingling, numbness, and pain in the hands. You know you have CTS if it wakes you up at night.

Even though doctors don't know exactly what causes it yet, they do have some ideas on how to remedy it...But most people who have CTS don't even know that they have it, much less how to treat it.This means they could be trapped with a condition they don’t know that they can overcome.

The first step to helping yourself, or someone close to you, is to understand what you're dealing with. Then you can begin to understand the different treatment options.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and its treatments are not that complicated.

This book teaches you everything you need to know about CTS.

From the supplier: Office workers are increasingly susceptible to repetitive stress injuries (RSI) as offices become more automated, and risk managers should be aware of the trend and take steps to minimize claims and losses. Risk management strategies include retrofitting ergonomic workstations, enhancing employee assistance programs and assigning different tasks, thereby breaking up the workers' daily routines. A fraud management program is also beneficial. Specialized RSI programs include customizing software to encourage work breaks.

From the supplier: The due process rights of defendants can become obscured in mass tortclaims, and rules can be overlooked when courts are trying to process these claims. Counsel for plaintiffs required an efficient method to get massive claims related to asbestos exposure, breast implants, and the use of computer keyboards through the courts. By treating them as mass torts, the counsel encouraged industries to settle, as breast implant manufacturers did. However, these claims are individual cases, and defendants should assert their due process rights, as the computer industry did.

From the supplier: Product liability insurance companies are concerned that Federal Judge Jack B. Weinstein may have established a precedent that could increase insurance payouts, when he combined 44 repetitive stress injury lawsuits into one case. IBM, AT&T and Eastman Kodak are among the defendants being sued for injuries caused by continuous use of computers and other electronic equipment. Disability injuries, mostly for carpal tunnel syndrome, have been claimed by a gamut of professionals who maintain that repeated product use was responsible for their pain and disabilities.

Description:
Why are employed women at increased risk for upper limb musculoskeletal disorders and what can this tell us about the way work and family life shape health? Despite increases in women's labour force participation, gender differences in work-related health conditions have received little research attention. This appears be the first study to examine why employed women are much more likely than men to experience upper body musculoskeletal disorders. A mailed self-report survey gathered data from 737 Australian Public Service employees (73% women). The majority of respondents were clerical workers (73%). Eighty one per cent reported some upper body symptoms; of these, 20% reported severe and continuous upper body pain. Upper body musculoskeletal symptoms were more prevalent and more severe among women. The gender difference in symptom severity was explained by risk factors at work (repetitive work, poor ergonomic equipment), and at home (having less opportunity to relax and exercise outside of work). Parenthood exacerbated this gender difference, with mothers reporting the least time to relax or exercise. There was no suggestion that women were more vulnerable than men to pain, nor was there evidence of systematic confounding between perceptions of work conditions and reported health status. Changes in the nature of work mean that more and more employees, especially women, use computers for significant parts of their workday. The sex-segregation of women into sedentary, repetitive and routine work, and the persisting gender imbalance in domestic work are interlinking factors that explain gender differences in musculoskeletal disorders. ...
