No Carpal Tunnel Blog

No Carpal Tunnel Blog

The No Carpal Tunnel Blog was designed to help those with computer related repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome learn more about their situation, ergonomics, and hopefully make moves towards healing wrist pain.

We have been in your situation and want to share ergonomic tips that have enabled us to work through the pain and anguish. You will find many practical tips we have used ourselves. Keep in mind that this is a serious condition, you must seek medical help. We are not doctors, nor are we a substitute for one.

Though their posts tend to be short and not delve into great detail, the site offers information on a wide variety of topics related to carpal tunnel syndrome, and it is updated frequently.
