We all learned that in high-school biology, but what\u2019s the lesson?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a typical computer user, clicking hundreds of times a day on a standard mouse, you may be slowly cooking your nerves. You don\u2019t feel it at first, but eventually you\u2019ll notice a slight tingling, then numbness, possibly burning. You stop and rub your wrist and arm, but then you\u2019re back to work. If you continue with the same repetitive click and scroll motions, however, the problem will only worsen.<\/p>\n<p>Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common form of Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI), and it\u2019s serious stuff! Chiropractors, physical therapists, and acupuncturists may offer temporary relief, but unless you eliminate the cause of the injury, it will keep coming back. Chronic sufferers often end up in surgery. And even surgery might not be the answer.<\/p>\n<p><i>How can I avoid the pain?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Choose an Ergonomic Mouse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you put your hands to your sides and lift your arms at the elbow, you\u2019ll note that your palms face each other.

This creates inflammation of tissues in the hand, wrist, and arm, which puts pressure on the median nerve, ultimately causing nerve damage and loss of muscle strength in your hands and fingers.
