Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful condition of the wrists, hands and fingers, which often interferes with job performance. It is commonly caused by strenuous and repetitive activities associated with the workplace, such as using power tools, handling wood products, and repetitive clerical activities. The number of carpal tunnel syndrome instances are rising, due to new technology job demands.

According to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, carpal tunnel syndrome is the second leading cause of time away from work, averaging 27 days. Carpal tunnel syndrome can affect your work performance, your ability to perform normal household tasks and can disrupt your sleep. In many cases, surgery is required to cure the condition.
