Wrist, Hand or Elbow Pain From Computer Work? Could It Be Carpal Tunnel? | South Edmonton

Mouse and keyboard work can strain your wrists, hands and elbows. Here is what may be going on and how acupuncture and IASTM may help.

My wrist hurts from using a mouse and keyboard. What can help?

Repetitive typing and mouse use can strain the forearm and wrist. Acupuncture for carpal tunnel (arm and neck focus) or IASTM on the forearm may help ease tension. Check your setup so your wrists stay neutral while you work.

My hands go numb or tingly at work. Could it be carpal tunnel?

Numbness and tingling in the thumb and fingers can be a sign of carpal tunnel syndrome, though tension in the neck and forearm can cause similar feelings. Acupuncture with an arm and neck focus may help ease muscle tension. See a doctor if you notice weakness, dropping things, or symptoms that don't go away.

My elbow hurts from using the mouse. Is that tennis elbow?

Pain on the outside of the elbow from gripping a mouse is a common form of tennis elbow. IASTM on the forearm may help relieve tension, along with taking breaks and adjusting your mouse.
