chiropractic treatment

My main form of communication is text messaging (sad, I know) and I text an insane amount every day.
I wanted to know if you could actually get carpal tunnel from texting? And what exactly happens to your hand when you get carpal tunnel?

Some say yes, some say no.

New findings from Virgin Mobile reveal that:

• Latest figures from the MDA reveal that over 100 million text messages are sent every single day in the UK alone
• 3.8 million British mobile phone users suffer from text-related injuries
• 38% people suffer from sore wrists and thumbs from texting
• Virgin Mobile link up with the British Chiropractic Association to help prevent Text Message Injury ( TMI )

Sensible advice
• If texting starts to hurt. Stop. Use the other hand or call instead
• Vary the hand you use
• Vary the digits you use
• Don’t text for more than a few minutes without a break
