Sleeping Hands May Not Be Carpal Tunnel
 If you're busy typing away at your computer throughout the day, your hands may begin to ache.
As you drive home or do simple tasks like talk on the phone, your hands may even fall asleep. This is a common problem for those who type and mouse often. But, the problem may not be in your hands. Your work may be a pain in your neck.
Your posture at your desk may be your first problem. If your computer at eye level? Is your neck strained? Is your back straight? Are you hunched over the keyboard, or do you lean in your chair as you multi-task from your desk to your computer?
10 Tips for Improving Your Posture at Work:
1. Adjust your desk to the right height for your work.
2. Raise or lower the seat of your office chair.
3. Position your computer keyboard directly in front of you.
4. Fix the height of your computer screen.
5. Use a wrist wrest while typing and mousing.
6. Sit close to your desk.
7. Use a footrest.
8. Keep your back supported when sitting.
9. Pay particular attention to how you’re sitting.
10. Take stretch breaks. Get up and move around.
Adjustment Improves Circulation
If you have poor posture at your desk and your neck has displaced vertebrae, this interfers with normal nerve supply and will cause a disturbance to the nervous system. This may be why your hands fall asleep.
Dr. Liechty and his associates at American Chiropractic do spinal adjustments by hand on specially designed tables. They use specific techniques and apply pressure to areas of your neck that are misaligned or that fail to move correctly within the normal range of motion.
The premise of chiropractic is that many problems are because of improper nerve supply. Dr. Liechty restores that essential nerve supply through the adjustment, which restores your neck to its natural position.
