The Pen Again - Prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

How can you prevent carpal tunnel syndrome?

If you’re experiencing frequent numbness and tingling in your hands or wrists you are most likely suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome.  Carpal tunnel occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is being compressed or squeezed.  This is a progressive and extremely painful condition.

Redesign your workstation to ensure your wrist maintains a natural position while working.  Ask your employer to develop programs in ergonomics that will help adapt the workplace environment and job demands to the capabilities of the employees.
These PenAgain pens are ergonomically designed to fit the contour of the hand and they make great affordable promotional items!  This ergonomic design helps alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel, writer`s cramp and arthritis.

Wear splints to help keep your wrists straight.  Be sure to use correct posture and avoid continuously working with your hands bent in awkward positions or uncomfortable angles for long periods of time.

Use a wrist-rest mouse pad.  The foam conforms and adjusts to the contours of your wrist and will help to relieve stress on pressure points.
