From the moment we wake up to the minute we close the laptop, our hands are the frontline workers of the digital world. But is your smartphone or gaming controller quietly causing a long-term injury? In this episode of Ortho Out Loud, we explore the “Digital Strain” era with two FVO specialists: Board-Certified Hand and Wrist Surgeon Dr. Shobhit Minhas and Director of Occupational Therapy Maile Eddy. We dive into the rise of tech-related conditions like “Texting Thumb” and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, breaking down the repetitive micro-traumas caused by our favorite devices. Dr. Minhas and Maile highlight the powerful “Dream Team” partnership between surgery and physical therapy, explaining why a successful recovery is often a collaborative effort that begins long before (and continues long after) the operating room.
Whether you’re a dedicated gamer, have a desk job with heavy technology use, or just chronically online, this episode offers practical, innovative solutions to keep your hands healthy in a high-tech world.
