Cannabis Strains That Work on Carpal Tunnel from CannabisNet on Vimeo.

 

For working professionals whose jobs require them to engage in repetitive hand movements, such as those who do a lot of computer work, sewing, driving, working in assembly lines, or even in sports such as tennis and handball, there is a risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

 

Carpal tunnel syndrome affects the nerves in the hands, causing neuropathic pain, tingling, numbness, and even weakness. In some cases it can be so severe that it’s virtually impossible for a person to do their job properly due to excruciating pain. It can be difficult to pinpoint when carpal tunnel will occur since by the time it’s usually diagnosed, it can already be irreversible despite modern treatments.

 

However, cannabis can help patients manage the pain and help them restore their quality of life.

 

If you have carpal tunnel syndrome and are looking to treat it with cannabis, these are the top strains you can use:

Afghan Kush has a naturally high THC content, which many patients love for its ability to help relax them while knocking out pain. Given that this is potent indica, Afghan Kush is recommended for carpal tunnel syndrome patients who need to medicate at night and have problems sleeping due to excessive pain on their wrists. Afghan Kush is also effective in treating depression, stress, and lack of appetite.
