Dr. Shoshany on Fox News discussing Carpal tunnel syndrome

The above video reviews some very effective non-surgical approaches to relieving carpal tunnel syndrome and “Blackberry thumb” (so named because it is caused by the overuse of Blackberry text messenging devices). 

One tip that the video fails to mention is to cut back on text messenging.  Our hands just aren’t meant to be constantly pressing those little buttons all day long.  Instead, I recommend a now ancient form of communication - actually talking to someone on the phone!  I know it sounds strange, but at one time people actually used their phones to talk to each other!  Primitive though it may be, it will reduce the stress on your hands.  Of course, if you talk on a cell phone all day long, you’re probably at risk for brain tumors, but that’s a subject for another time.
