Lunch and Learn: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Hungry for information? Attend the next lunch and learn session. The Pain Management: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome information session will be held Wednesday, Aug. 20 from noon to 1 p.m., in the Executive Room at the North Inland Public Health Center at 600 E. Valley Parkway in Escondido.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by a pinched nerve in your wrist. Symptoms include tingling or numbness in the palm and fingers. It can weaken the hand and cause pain.

People who type on the keyboard frequently and for prolonged periods with minimal breaks are at risk.

Wellness Coordinator William Erese said this presentation will teach employees ways to prevent, recognize and manage the condition.

The course will be taught by Dana Mann, M.P.H., M.C.H.E.S, a health education consultant with 30 years of experience.
