It`s Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome $27.91 Repetitive Stress Disorder (RSI) is a serious illness that costs businesses $7-20 billion a year in the U.S. alone. With the advent of new technology that continually reduces the variety of arm and hand movements (i.e. we no longer perform actions like removing sheets of paper from the typewriter or stop typing to use correction fluid), the statistics are only getting worse. It`s important to realize that Repetitive Stress Disorder and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are not the same, and this book tells sufferers how to recognize the different symptoms of each. Authors Suparna Damany and Jack Bellis also meticulously detail the myriad possible solutions to the problem, including ergonomically modifying the workstation, being aware of posture, developing positive exercise habits, and taking regular breaks from the keyboard for stretching, resting, and other activities (such as a trip to the water cooler). Nothing succeeds like early intervention; the authors predict an additional month of recovery for every week someone with RSI symptoms--which include numbness in the hands, soreness in the neck, and shooting pains up and down the arms--continues to work without addressing them. The text is arranged to make quick reference a breeze--and it`s better for inflamed nerves and tendons than yet another Internet search!

Carpal Tunnel Cream 2 oz: K $11.16 For relief of painful Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. "Recently I remembered that I had purchased a jar of your Carpal Tunnel Cream that I had never used because I didn't really have any faith that it would work. It was the middle of the night, I was in intense pain, and I had to do something so I decided I had nothing to lose by trying the cream. I rubbed it into my hands and wrists and went back to bed. Almost immediately the pain stopped!!! I have been using it nightly since and it holds the pain off for several hours. I am thrilled with the effectiveness of this cream." --Bea, NY

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome 960 vegicap bottle: HE $150.62 We use only 100% Gluten-free, Vegetable Cellulose ''00'' capsules for all of our encapsulated products. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome -- Approximately 600 mg. each capsule. Herbal Extracts Plus has developed a botanical formulation containing a blend of all-natural herbal extracts and vitamins for effective support in combating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is an ailment of our time. The repetitive motion often associated with office administrative work or assembly line work often causes it. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the sheath surrounding the tendons in the wrist become swollen or inflamed. The swelling pinches the nerves that extend to the fingers and thumb against the narrow tunnel of bone through which they pass, this tunnel is called the ''Carpal Tunnel''. Symptoms include numbness in the fingers, difficulty in gripping objects, loss of coordination, and severe pain. The symptoms often first manifest themselves at night or upon awakening in the morning. Purpose of Formulation: Provides many herbal ingredients that have the ability to counteract the effects of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, reducing inflammation and improving circulation. Other Applications: Supports the relief of joint swelling Supports cardiovascular function Herbal Ingredient Information: The following information is a brief overview describing each of the above herbal ingredients and what properties each contributes to make up this proprietary blend. • Boswellia Serrata is said to be a particularly effective anti-inflammatory that has been used for centuries to relieve joint pain and improve mobility. New research confirms that the herb has been effective in relieving the aches and pains of arthritis, rheumatism, and osteoarthritis of the knee. Furthermore, it appears to be free of the effects commonly found in steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that are usually prescribed for these problems, but acts in the same way by suppressing the spread of inflamed tissue and preventing the breakdown of connective tissue. This would make it an extremely useful supplement to improve mobility without the after-effects of gastric irritation. • Turmeric Root is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory that has been very beneficial in the treatment of rheumatism and arthritis. The curcumin content in Turmeric apparently deactivates immune cells that may cause inflammation without harming other parts of the immune system that are essential in fighting infection. It is said to curtail inflammation of both osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis and reduces swelling in recent bruises, wounds, and insect bites. Moreover, it is considered helpful for easing muscle pains and sports injuries, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and bursitis. • Grapeseed improves blood circulation, which benefits both cardiac and cerebral function. It also improves peripheral circulation, resulting in less pain and swelling in arms and legs and

Complementary Medicine in the Modern Age

Students of the modern age aren't always necessarily "scholars;" in fact, students are both teachers and patients, alike, who are trying to find holistic and alternative means to traditional healthcare. Complementary medicine is one of the largest growing facets in the modern world, and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) has begun to take note of its evolutional affects on mainstream medicine.

The interesting aspect of complementary medicine is that it is an umbrella term for numerous marvels of modern medicine. Some of the most innovative healing methods and even ancient healing arts from around the world have been integrated into complementary medicine.

Today, treatments with acupuncture, herbal medicine, chelation therapy, chiropractic, homeopathy, and massage therapy, among others, are just some of the diverse therapies available within the scope of complementary medicine.

A few years back, the safe and noninvasive treatment of acupuncture was researched [1] by the National Institutes for Health (NIH). Their findings were promising. Studies demonstrated that acupuncture is effective in pain relief for several health conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, menstrual cramps, fibromyalgia, stroke rehabilitation, and osteoarthritis, among other chronic pain conditions.

The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) currently has studies underway in homeopathy as well. One of the topics of interest includes the treatment for physical, mental and emotional symptoms of fibromyalgia.

Additional healthcare studies, like massage for the treatment of cancer pain; and herbal medicine, more precisely, mistletoe extract - used in conjunction with chemotherapy as a treatment for solid cancer tumors are ongoing clinical trials.

Often times, CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) therapies like acupuncture, massage therapy and chiropractic are covered by health insurance; but it is always wise to check with your insurance provider prior to scheduling an appointment.

As more patients are seeking non-invasive and drug-free treatments for common health disorders and conditions, complementary medicine is one of modern society's greatest advancements to the healthcare industry. As such, there has been an increase in growth in alternative and complementary medicine schools; including career-training and degree programs in acupuncture and Oriental medicine, massage, chiropractic medicine, and integrative medicine courses, among several others.

If you (or someone you know) are interested in finding complementary medicine and complementary medicine schools, let career training within fast-growing industries like massage therapy, cosmetology, acupuncture, oriental medicine, Reiki, and others get you started! Explore career school programs near you.
