Bone infections , also known as osteomyelitis, are serious medical problems that require the skillful treatment planning of an orthopedist.
Carpal tunnel syndrome can occur from poor wrist position or overuse. This video offers tips on how to avoid this condition.
If you often use a computer for work or personal use, consider the position of your wrists as you type. Flexed wrists can put pressure on the median nerve, which can then produce pain, a frequent side effect of carpal tunnel syndrome. Keeping your wrists and forearms parallel with your desk can ease this problem. Giving your wrists a break from your typing duties can also lessen the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. So every 15 minutes, stop and stretch your wrists to reduce muscle tension.
If you suspect that you have carpal tunnel syndrome , call Able Orthopedic & Sports Medicine at (718) 690-9520. Our NYC orthopedists can help you find relief from your pain.
