Various syndromes of the hand such as carpel tunnel for one, are the cause of much pain and suffering. The pain is arthritic in nature, numbness is also another sensation that one can experience when you have these syndromes. This condition can also appear in both hands. There is a school of thought that feels this could be due to lack of infra red light. For this reason many people who suffer from these conditions use infrared therapy as a method of treatment to alleviate these symptoms.
These and many other such syndromes are extremely debilitating as they limit the use of the hands. Tasks that you and I take for granted are often out of reach for these sufferers. These people are unable to hold onto objects, open tins and jars. These basic tasks really affect people’s confidence. The severe pain and stiffness forces people with this condition to depend on others to assist them with these mundane tasks. It is times like these that we need to really be grateful for our health and for what we are able to do on a daily basis.
