Effective Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Intro
Intro

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a localised Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) caused by compression of the median nerve (usually by inflamed tendons) as it passes through the Carpal Tunnel in the wrist. This usually results in pain and loss of function in the hand or wrist, plus numbness, burning or general weakness of the palm and fingers, especially at night.

Powerball is a physician-approved device that is highly-beneficial in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome and has been helping those suffering from the condition for over 25 years. Spinning Powerball for just 2-3 minutes, several times each day provides fast, effective pain relief and a rapid decrease of inflammation in the tendons which are compressing down around the nerve. Experience the benefits for yourself and get back to a healthy and pain-free lifestyle today with Powerball.

Rehabilitate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Powerball generates isometric resistance as you spin it. Isometric resistance is 100% non-impact, meaning it doesn’t place any strain on sore or inflamed tendons. Unlike concentric or eccentric exercises (shortening and lengthening the muscle), isometric exercise stimulates the wrist while keeping it static. Isometric exercise will never serve to worsen a condition therefore you can use Powerball to treat carpal tunnel syndrome much sooner after injury.

Start by spinning Powerball at slow speeds. As you turn your wrist against Powerball’s resistance, circulation is improved around the compressed nerve (the source of carpal tunnel pain). Increased circulation means oxygen and nutrients are carried to the damaged nerve where they act quickly to repair damage and relieve pain. Gradually, as you increase your spin speed, Powerball will strengthen as well as rehabilitate, quickly guiding you down the path to a long-term recovery.

Relieve Pain in the Wrist

Exercise with Powerball massively boosts circulation along the entire arm. This increase in circulation means rich, oxygenated nutrients are carried to sore tendons in the wrist, where they act fast to soothe and relieve pain. Even at slow speeds, spinning Powerball for just a couple of minutes is enough to feel instant pain relief from an injury like carpal tunnel syndrome. Pick up a Powerball and try it for yourself today. If you’re suffering from wrist pain, don’t go reaching for painkillers – Powerball is a simple and effective remedy that will combat pain in seconds and treat carpal tunnel syndrome with long-term results.

Reduce Stiffness & Increase Flexibility

In more severe cases, pain from carpal tunnel may prevent you from moving your wrist altogether. This is an important factor to watch out for, as an immobilised wrist joint will grow stiff and inflexible over time. One of the key benefits of Powerball exercise is its ability to stimulate the production of synovial fluid, a natural lubricant. As Powerball takes your wrist through its full circumduction (the circular movement of a limb), it increases the amount of this gel-like substance which can be found in all mobile joints.

Synovial fluid lubricates the wrist joint to:

  • reduce stiffness
  • increase flexibility
  • extend range of motion in the wrist joint

This in turn reduces the pain and stiffness caused by carpal tunnel and allows you to slowly regain strength and benefit from a successful recovery.

Prevent CTS from Reoccurring

Sometimes eliminating the cause of your carpal tunnel syndrome isn’t possible. This might be because it was caused by computer use at work, driving or playing your favourite sport. Giving up these activities isn’t always an option – so what can you do to prevent CTS from reoccurring again?

Powerball is a highly effective ally in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. But did you know that as you rehabilitate with Powerball, you also strengthen? Powerball’s resistance gently stimulates the muscle tissue and tendons in the wrist to help you rehab faster, with deep-set, long-term recovery results. Powerball’s combination of rehabilitation and strengthening is what sets it apart from other rehabilitation devices. Using Powerball as part of your CTS treatment means you will be that much stronger when you finally return to work or playing sport.

And here at Powerball, we always recommend that you continue to exercise with our incredible gyroscopes even after your symptoms of carpal tunnel have faded. All it takes is 3 minutes a day. Regular exercise with Powerball maintains wrist and hand health and will help keep you protected from a wrist injury in the future.

SEVERE CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME?
PROBLEM SOLVED.

“When I was 24, I started feeling an acute pain in my right wrist especially when I tried to exercise. My doctor told me I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and would need surgery.

I started looking for other forms of exercise that could help with my problem and purchased a Powerball®. After a few months of use, the numbness in my fingers decreased a lot. It’s now been 3 years since I’m using Powerball® and the numbness has disappeared. I recently started climbing and can feel a huge difference – before Powerball® I couldn’t open a bottle of soda with my right hand and now I climb on the wall almost without problems, thank you guys!”

CARPAL TUNNEL FROM COMPUTER USE?
PROBLEM SOLVED.

4 years ago, I started a desk job that involved typing and using a mouse all day. Within a few months, I had shooting wrist pain from RSI and knew I needed to do something to avoid long-term health issues.

After some intense Internet searching, it seemed I could hold off a doctor’s visit and more expensive treatment by improving my wrist strength so I bought Powerball® and started using it during free moments at work. I found that when I start to feel a little tension in my wrists, a few minutes with Powerball® at low speed relieved discomfort immediately. 4 years on and no complications from repetitive stress or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – I owe the fact that I’m not wearing a brace to Powerball®.

TENDINITIS IN THE HAND PREVENTING YOUR WORK?
PROBLEM SOLVED.

I’m 49 years old and work in a dialysis clinic where I must make a lot of accurate wrist movements from left to right and right to left many times daily. 7 years ago, I developed severe tendinitis and a cyst in my right hand.

I had surgery to remove the cyst but couldn’t cure the tendinitis. I went to a lot of doctors for rehabilitation but none of them could help me to get back to work. Then my son told me about Powerball® and I couldn’t let go of this little ball. It took me just 4 weeks of using Powerball® to get better and return to work. I’ve been using Powerball® from that day and haven’t had tendinitis again. Thanks for giving me my wrist back.

ACHES, PAINS AND 'CLICKING' IN THE WRIST?
PROBLEM SOLVED.

I’m a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist who also enjoys rock climbing. 7 years ago I fractured my distal radius, as well as damaging the TFCC of my right wrist. After doing some basic rehab on myself, I was able to continue working but experienced regular aching, pain and clicking in my right wrist.

Then I tried Powerball®. After the first week, I noticed definite improvement in how my injured wrist felt and now use it to maintain strength and range-of-motion of both of my wrists and hands. As a physiotherapist, I can appreciate the way Powerball® helps my hand strength and endurance and targets imbalances I have developed in my forearm muscles from working and climbing – the fact that I can exercise these with no compression through my wrists is massively beneficial.
