Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome which is nerve damage in the hand that causes pain in the wrist has become prevalent among computer users. Chiropractor Dr. Cynthia Boccara has the following recommendations to avoid this costly and painful ailment:
• Position your computer monitor and keyboard directly in front of you. Make sure your monitor is at eye level.
• Plant your feet firmly on the floor.
• Hold your arms at a 90-degree angle so that your wrists are not bending forward or backwards.
• Sit up straight and do not slouch.
• Stretch and take frequent breaks.
• Do not use a wrist rest when typing as it will add pressure on your wrists. Use the wrist rest only to rest in between typing.
