Staten Island Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Attorney

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Staten Island?

When an individual is suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, their lives can be turned upside down.  Firstly, they may no longer be able to perform their job, as their hands are painful or numb.  Further, they often suffer from serious sleep problems, as one of the effects of this condition is that it often wakes up a sleeping person as the hands are tingling or feel like they have "fallen asleep".  This is due to the effect on the nerves that is created by this condition.  It is ordinarily brought about by repetitive hand motions, such as computer work, or assembly line work in which the same action is done over and over.  This causes a swelling of the carpal tunnel, which is a tube that the nerves and ligaments go through on their way to the hand.  As the space compresses, the nerves become affected and the problem begins.
