5 Best Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Stretches & Exercises - Ask Doctor Jo

Спорт

These carpal tunnel syndrome stretches & exercises are great for carpal tunnel pain. They are easy to do just about anywhere and should help provide pain relief from carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. More on carpal tunnel syndrome: • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome...
Sometimes pain that presents as carpal tunnel syndrome can be coming from your elbow, shoulder, or your neck, so check with your doctor or physical therapist before assuming you have carpal tunnel syndrome and starting these exercises.
The first two stretches for carpal tunnel syndrome are more of a warm up. You will make a fist, and do wrist flexion and extension. Then you will turn your fist up with the thumb on top for radial and unlar deviation. These will start loosening up the muscles in and around the wrist.
Then you will go into full stretches for your wrist flexors and extensors. You can do them modified or the full stretch.
The next carpal tunnel stretch is a prayer stretch. This really stretches the carpal tunnel area, and you might get some numbness and tingling with it. As long as it goes away when you stop, it should be okay to do.
The last two stretches are for your pec or chest muscles and your anterior scalenes. Sometimes the pain comes from tightness in these areas at the chest and neck. So it’s important to stretch this area as well.

    Ive been suffering from carpal tunnel ever since my early 20's, and right now my left hand is always tingling slightly. I can still feel things, but even driving and cutting the grass flares it up and it goes numb. I never knew why the normal stretches didn't work for me. After your chest stretch, I felt a subtle and brief relief of the tingling in my hand. Edit- after doing a couple excersies, I'd say the tingling went from a 4/10 to a 3. Definitely will keep doing this and see if there's improvment. Carpal tunnel has taken a lot of things I used to enjoy away from me.

    If the chest stretch helped, it might also be something else like Thoracic outlet syndrome, or even something coming from your shoulder. It definitely might be worth going to see a physical therapist for an evaluation.

    First of all, THANK YOU for this video. Here is my experience: I was doing some heavy work around the house in the spring of 2018, that's where the carpal tunnel occurred, on both wrists. I went to the doctor, was diagnosed and the doctor told me that I could have surgery if I wanted. Due to the fact that I had read that the surgery had mixed results for different people, I was reluctant to have surgery and wanted to wait and monitor the progress. In the meanwhile, I did research on ways that I could help myself get rid of it and I had stumbled upon this video. I started stretching my wrists ( against each other , in the "praying" motion, as shown in this video, over the next months. I did this a number of times during the day and I also did variations: against the lower part of the steering wheel, or against the desk in the office. I made sure not to over-stretch my wrists, as I did not want other problems to arise. After a few weeks, I just did it without thinking about it. The first few weeks nothing seemed to happen, but then I noticed a gradual decrease in the numbness, it was working! Mind you, this took months. Fast forward to the spring of 2019, carpal tunnel was gone. I really recommend people try out the stretching before they do surgery. You have nothing to lose and much to gain. Thank you again DoctorJo!

Numbing, tingling, and some pinching pains from forearm down to finger tips. This has caused me to wake up middle of the night totally freaked out because I can’t feel my hand at all. And with the pregnancy swelling of water retention ( I’m 37 weeks 2 days) it’s amplified and feels like it’s going to explode or fall off lol ..

    Thank you so much for this. I dunno whether I am having Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or not. But yesterday I was getting cramps in my middle finger & ring finger. But thankfully it didn't happen today. I dunno whether it's happening cause of cold or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. But I tried these stretches.. I am feeling great.

    Guitar player here (for a living). I've had tingling since my late teens. I'n my 20's started feeling the shooting pain if I hit my wrist just right. When I eat right and lose some weight it gets better but just 4 days ago my left hand/wrist just hurts bad and looks swollen. Advil helped yesterday as I needed to play. I'd say in the last 28 yrs it's at it's worst. Glad I found this as I need to get better.

    I think 10 years of intense mouse based twitch gaming (unreal tournament, CS) caused the issue with right hand. 40 years old now and doing lots of physical exercise and I'm noticing my hand lets me down. I wish I could go back in time and tell my former self to take up paint balling instead of playing FPS games in front of a PC. It's basically the same thing but in real life. Then again, I'd probably have been kicked out of paint balling for base camping and head shots.

I stay on my computer after work so I think the stress from being on my computer all day is having a terrible effect on my tendons and nerves. As soon as it warms a little I will be doing more outdoor activities to get away from the computer. Thank you so much!

    AskDoctorJo yes the stretches work wonders! Thank you! Just a little bummed out, my favourite hobby is video games, and I can’t seem to last for more than 30 mins, till my carpal tunnel acts up. Same with my job, it’s a labour/factory job but pays well but at the same time requires repetitive wrist/arm movements for hours and hours. I really hope that I don’t have to resort to surgery 😔

    So I've been doing all sorts of stretches and stuff and I have two questions: Whenever I do any excersise where you have to rotate the wrist, they crack a lot. Is that okay/normal? And is it possible to do Too many of these wrist videos? Could that worsen it? If so, how long is too much? Sorry for bambarding with questions, I'm just very new to all this and want to be good ASAP. Please and thank you

  • @AskDoctorJo

    Cracking usually doesn't happen with carpal tunnel syndrome. Did you have an injury? Yes, too many exercises can be just as bad as doing nothing. Exercises and stretches should be pain free, and you really only need to do 5-10 minutes 2-3 times a day.
