pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome & tendinitis
pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome & tendinitis
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is irritation in the
median nerve as it passes through the groove
(tunnel) between the hand bones. Spanning over
the tunnel is the transverse carpal ligament. When
a ligament becomes inflamed due to overuse, the
swelling creates pressure within the tunnel, thus
putting pressure on the median nerve.
Tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon.
There is a tendon at the end of each muscle
and when muscles are used over and over for
an activity, the tendons can become inflamed,
as the muscle is constantly tugging on it.
Begin using the MedMassager
™
on a low setting
for the first 1 to 2 minutes. Then, slowly bring up
the speed to the most comfortable setting or
where it feels best to you. Rest the massager on
the area that is painful. It may be easier to turn
the massager upside down and rest the affected area on the soft
massage pad.

thigh & hamstring pain
The big front thigh muscles (quadriceps) and the
back of the thigh muscles (hamstrings) can be
relieved of muscle pain by rhythmically moving the
MedMassager

from the top of the leg down to the
knee and back.
Additional pain relief can be achieved if you
stop in the middle of the muscle and keep the
massager directly over the affected area for a few
minutes.
