We live in a consistently advancing society, where efficiency and productivity are critical. Technology has turned out to be consistently present in day-to-day existence, whether that be staying aware of loved ones through your cell phone, telecommuting (considerably more typical now than many would have naturally suspected a couple of years prior) on a PC for 40 hours per week, or even through playing computer games in your vacation.

The headway we've made in the last 10-20 years is surprising and has gotten us numerous new innovative advances in the field of medication, however, it is not necessarily the case that there are no downsides. On the off chance that you're encountering hand pain, tech might be, in some measure partly, at fault!

Today we're investigating the expected reasons for tech-related hand pain and how you might safeguard yourself. Assuming you're living with hand pain, or on the off chance that something has begun to irritate you lately, it is an indication that you must consult with our experts. We'd be glad just to help you restore pain-free living.

While utilizing technology, particularly cell phones, and PCs, individuals tend to hunch forward, causing additional tension around your spine that can prompt constant pain, in the neck, shoulders, and back. Past focusing on posture, and using technology can put an abundance of strain on your hands, wrists, and lower arms.

Inflammation of the tendons and joints, small joints and tendons of the hand, as well as strains of the forearm muscles, are all possible. This can lead to more subtle issues like "mommy’s thumb," which is inflammation along the base of the thumb, as well as tennis elbow and general tendonitis in the wrist area.

It's critical to be proactive in protecting your body from injuries and conditions caused by long-term intensive use, which begins with addressing the warning signs. After spending extended hours at your computer or on your phone, you might notice discomfort in your fingers, hands, wrists, or forearms. If you end your workday with neck pain from hunching over your laptop, your body is telling you that something needs to be done, or it will only get worse. If you're experiencing pain in and around your thumb after playing video games, you may have "Gamer's Thumb," which is similar to de Quervain's tenosynovitis.

The good news is that if you catch it early enough, resting and limiting your time using whatever piece of technology is causing your pain will help you feel better and give your body time to heal. If you're still in pain after a brief break from the offending technology, it's time to see a pain specialist figure out what's wrong.

We'd love nothing more than to help you get back to living pain-free!
