Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects one of the primary nerves in the wrist area. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm side of the hand. The leading cause of carpal tunnel syndrome is extra pressure on the median nerve at the wrist inside the tunnel. The extra pressure can come from swelling or inflammation of the contents inside the tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms include wrist pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. To better understand carpal tunnel syndrome and how to ease it, it's essential to start by understanding the risk factors that increase the chances of irritation or damage to the median nerve. They include: Anatomic factors: When you have a wrist fracture or dislocation or arthritis that deforms the small bones in the wrist, you may experience an alteration in the space within the carpal tunnel and put pressure on the median nerve. Similarly, people who have smaller carpal tunnels are more susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome.   Gender: Women are more prone to carpal tunnel syndrome as compared to men. This is because women have a relatively more minor carpal tunnel area than men. Inflammatory conditions: People with rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions that have inflammatory components are more susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome. This is because they affect the lining around the tendons in the wrist and put pressure on the median nerve. Nerve-damaging conditions: Certain chronic diseases like diabetes increase the risk of nerve damage, including damage to the median nerve. Obesity: Being obese increases the risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome. Body fluid changes: Fluid retention may increase pressure within the carpal tunnel, irritating the median nerve. It is prevalent during pregnancy and menopause. Workplace factors: Working with vibrating tools that require prolonged or repetitive wrist flexing may create harmful pressure on the median nerve, especially when working in cold environments. Easing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Although there are no proven strategies to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome, you can apply various measures to help ease and minimize pressure on the hands and wrists. These methods are approved by chiropractic care. Have a look! Reduce your force and relax your grip: If your work involves typing using a keyboard, hit the keys softly. Consider using a big pen with an oversized, soft grip adapter and free-flowing ink when engaged in prolonged handwriting. Keyboard and mouse position: Avoid bending your wrist up or down. Ensure you maintain a relaxed middle position by keeping your keyboard at elbow height or slightly lower.Also ensure that your mouse is in a comfortable position to avoid straining your wrist. Improve your posture: Poor posture affects the wrists, fingers and hands. Ensure you are comfortable and not straining. Keep your hands warm: Cold environments may trigger your hands to hurt more. Try to control the temperatures by wearing warm gloves. Physical therapy: It helps strengthen muscles around your wrist and increase flexibility. It's essential to ensure you get diagnoses and treatment to avoid permanent damage to your median nerve. Our chiropractic treatment will walk with you through the carpal tunnel syndrome recovery journey and offer therapy sessions and the best guide. Our professional chiropractors will focus on gentle manipulation of the wrist and elbow to help ease the pain. To get more details on our chiropractic practices focused on carpal tunnel syndrome, contact Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC.       

As you age, your bones lose density.This leads to osteoporosis,falls and fractures. In this week's episodes I speak to Perry Eckert on bone strength and how to avoid,prevent and reverse bone loss through specific weight training using the "Osteostrong" model.  In this episode you will learn:  How to do a non-invasive, drug-free approach to help improve  bone density and overall skeletal strength. Designed to benefit various age groups and backgrounds, particularly those at risk of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and other conditions related to low bone density. How to use nutrition to optimise your bone health Why balance is also important to consider How pilates and yoga, balance and strength training are part of the picture but why they just aren't enough to stop bone loss How hormones play a role in bone density How muscles help in your bone density strategy Risk factors for Osteoporosis and Osteopenia: Osteoporosis and osteopenia are conditions characterized by a decrease in bone density, which makes bones more fragile and susceptible to fractures. Several risk factors can increase the likelihood of developing these conditions. Here are the top 5 risk factors for osteoporosis and osteopenia: Age: Aging is one of the most significant risk factors for osteoporosis and osteopenia. As people get older, their bones naturally become less dense and more fragile. The risk increases significantly after the age of 50 for women and 70 for men. Gender: Women are more prone to osteoporosis and osteopenia than men. This is because women typically have lower bone density and undergo hormonal changes, especially during menopause, which accelerates bone loss. However, men can also develop these conditions, especially if they have other risk factors. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal imbalances can contribute to bone loss. For example, reduced estrogen levels in women during menopause and in men as they age can lead to decreased bone density. Conditions like hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid and low levels of sex hormones in men (hypogonadism) can also increase the risk. Family History and Genetics: A family history of osteoporosis or fractures can be a significant risk factor. Genetics plays a role in determining bone density and structure, so if you have close relatives with these conditions, your risk may be higher. Lifestyle Factors: a. Dietary Choices: Inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, both essential for bone health, can increase the risk. Additionally, excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption may have a negative impact on bone density. b. Physical Activity: A sedentary lifestyle can contribute to bone loss. Weight-bearing exercises and resistance training help maintain bone density and strength. c. Smoking: Smoking has been linked to lower bone density and an increased risk of fractures. d. Low Body Weight: People with a low body mass index (BMI) are at higher risk because they often have less bone mass to start with. OsteoStrong builds upon the work of Julius Wolf (1836-1902), a German anatomist and surgeon who discovered that bones become thicker and stronger when subjected to repeated oesteogenic loading. Building on this scientific principle, known as Wolf's Law, Dr John Jaquish (a biomedical engineer) invented the Spectrum system which safely applies an osteogenic load of the precise level required to encourage the body's natural ability to rebuild stronger bones. These Spectrum patented devices are used exclusively by OsteoStrong centres worldwide as the cornerstone of this unique scientifically proven program. We support this regime with a range of recovery technologies to help build strength and balance naturally, which then has an impact on your wellbeing, vitality and energy.

In this week's episode I sat down with Dr. Sami Schalk. Dr. Schalk is an Associate Professor of Gender & Women's Studies at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her interdisciplinary research focuses broadly on disability, race, and gender in contemporary American literature and culture. She is the author of the books Bodyminds Reimagined: (Dis)ability, Race, and Gender in Black Women's Speculative Fiction and Black Disability Politics. We discuss what it means to come into one's disabled identity, how the portrayal of certain identities in fiction can and do influence real life, where Black Disability Politics intersect and conflict with the mainstream white-dominant disability civil rights movement and much, much more.

Recorded on March 7, 2023 at UC Berkeley's Social Science Matrix, this  Authors Meet Critics panel focused on To Defend This Sunrise: Black Women's Activism and the Authoritarian Turn in Nicaragua, by Courtney Desiree Morris, Assistant Professor and Vice Chair of Research in Gender and Women's Studies at UC Berkeley. Morris was joined in conversation by Tianna Paschel, Associate Professor in the UC Berkeley Department of African American Studies. The panel was moderated by Lok Siu, Chair of the Asian American Research Center and Professor of Ethnic Studies and Asian American/Asian Diaspora Studies at UC Berkeley. The panel was co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Department of African American Studies, Center for Latin American Studies, and Department of Gender & Women's Studies. About the Book To Defend this Sunrise examines how Black women on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua engage in regional, national, and transnational modes of activism to remap the nation's racial order under conditions of increasing economic precarity and autocracy. The book considers how, since the 19th century, Black women activists have resisted historical and contemporary patterns of racialized state violence, economic exclusion, territorial dispossession, and political repression. Specifically, it explores how the new Sandinista state under Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo has utilized multicultural rhetoric as a mode of political, economic, and territorial dispossession. In the face of the Sandinista state's co-optation of multicultural discourse and growing authoritarianism, Black communities have had to recalibrate their activist strategies and modes of critique to resist these new forms of “multicultural dispossession.” This concept describes the ways that state actors and institutions drain multiculturalism of its radical, transformative potential by espousing the rhetoric of democratic recognition while simultaneously supporting illiberal practices and policies that undermine Black political demands and weaken the legal frameworks that provide the basis for the claims of these activists against the state.

In 1977 more than 100 disabled activists in San Francisco took over a federal building for 25 days. It was the longest non-violent occupation of a federal building in United States history. As they advocated for their rights, they found an ally in the Black Panther Party, which understood that disability rights were connected with their own anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist racial justice work. This week, Professor Sami Schalk joins Jonathan to discuss how Black cultural workers have approached disability as a social and political issue in the U.S. from the 1970s to the present, and what it looks like to honor Black disability politics through language, legislation, and beyond. Sami Schalk is an associate professor of Gender & Women's Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is the author of Bodyminds Reimagined: (Dis)ability, Race & Gender in Black Women's Speculative Fiction (Duke UP 2018) and Black Disability Politics (Duke UP 2022). Schalk identifies as a fat Black queer disabled femme and a pleasure activist.  You can follow Professor Schalk on Twitter @drsamischalk and on Instagram as @fierceblackfemme.  Her new book Black Disability Politics is essential reading, and Professor Schalk has made it open access, so make sure to track down a copy—and drop in on one of the hybrid launch events in the coming weeks! Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @CuriousWithJVN to join the conversation. Jonathan is on Instagram and Twitter @JVN and @Jonathan.Vanness on Facebook. Transcripts for each episode are available at JonathanVanNess.com. Our executive producer is Erica Getto.

On the podcast, Melanie Klein, writer, speaker and professor of Sociology and Gender/Women's Studies, shares how understanding systems and constructs like sexism, diet culture, the patriarchy and white supremacy were pivotal in helping her move from blaming herself for how she felt about her body and not seeing any other choice but pursue a thinner body, to palpable relief. Now, Melanie answers the call to share her knowledge and expertise to help folks come to a place of body neutrality and acceptance so they can feel empowered.  Melanie recommended reading:  Feminism is for Everybody by bell hooks Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center by bell hooks Learn more about Melanie and the books she's published here:  http://www.melaniecklein.com/ Connect with Melanie here:  IG: @melmelklein @ybicoalition  

Hello everyone. How are you all doing? I am in the midst of installing my show in Zhuhai. It is mostly done and I can't wait to be able to get some rest after the opening, which by the way is this coming Saturday, November 13th at Xu Yu Huan Bian Gallery, which is near the Yangmi mall. I'll be there starting at 5pm so come by to say hi if you happen to be in the Zhuhai area. I am showing two new video installations, some lightboxes, and aluminum prints. It feels good to be able to make some work after such a long hiatus. Anyway....for this week, through the Rogers Art Loft Residency, I am speaking with Tiffany Lin, a visual artist, wordsmith, and dreamer. Tiffany got her BA in Gender & Women's Studies and Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley and an MFA at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Illustration Practice. Tiffany's work examines how power is expressed in the subtext of American vernacular. Utilizing both creative and sociological methods, she combines participatory action, interviews, and social theory to support her claim that desire and belonging are mediated by external politics. Tiffany and I discuss the evolution of her work, the use of words and language, finding inspiration in the US Census, and how we all self-identify our identities. Tiffany called in from her car on the side of the 10 in LA, which was a little noisy at times. I found Tiffany's energy and thoughts infectious and I hope you do as well. Until next time, stay safe and healthy wherever you are and enjoy!Links Mentioned:Tiffany's WebsiteTiffany's Instagram24 ViewsBullfrog Biennial 2021Follow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram

In today's episode, we explore Shakespeare's Twelfth Night through the lens of Gender and Queer Theory. We take a look at how Early Modern concepts of gender and queerness may have influenced the writing of Twelfth Night and how modern productions use the play to explore themes related to gender and queer identity.  In the second half of the episode, we are joined by our first ever guest of the pod, Dr. Sawyer Kemp to continue our discussion on Gender and Queer Theory.  Dr. Sawyer Kemp (they/them) is a Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellow in Transgender Studies with the Gender & Women's Studies department at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Sawyer's current book project investigates the rhetoric and industry of “accessibility” in contemporary Shakespeare performance. Exploring access as a tool for feminist and queer critique, this project analyzes theatres' impact on and outreach to communities of trans and gender non-conforming people, sexual assault survivors, and people with disabilities. Sawyer's work has appeared in Shakespeare Quarterly, Shakespeare Studies, The Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies, and the edited collection Teaching Social Justice Through Shakespeare. Their most recent article, “Two Othellos: Transitioning Anti-Blackness” is forthcoming in Shakespeare Bulletin.   Shakespeare Anyone? is created and produced by Korey Leigh Smith and Elyse Sharp.

John Shaw is back on the podcast. John started this series with a podcast about the importance of communication. Then two weeks ago, he discussed the issue of race and the church. This week he returns with another timely issue – gender, women, and the church. This is certainly a topic of conversation both outside and inside the church. But we need to ask the question within our own Reformed circle, and especially in our OPC circle: Have we considered carefully our own application of biblical principles on this matter? And maybe more pointed: Are we willing to have our own blind spots exposed, to consider how we can be more consistently biblical in affirming the appropriately high place of women in the church of Jesus Christ? In addition to the podcast, John has included some questions below to help us think about application, for those who are interested in digging a little deeper. What are some of our blind spots? And how can we address those blind spots with more consistent biblical practice? You can find those questions below, along with some suggested reading and resources.

"The Gendered Ambiguity of the Postcommunist Transitions" with Janet Elise Johnson, Professor of Political Science and Gender/Women’s Studies at Brooklyn College; Katalin Fábián, Professor of Government and Law at Lafayette College; and Mara Lazda, Professor of History at Bronx Community College. LECTURE DESCRIPTION: Kristen Ghodsee’s 2017 New York Times op-ed and subsequent popular book, "Why Women Have Better Sex under Socialism"(2018), now translated into 12 other languages, is the latest foray into a central and longstanding debate as to whether the transition in Central-Eastern Europe and Eurasia was bad for women. Drawing upon four decades of gender scholarship of this region with more than 200 million women, we build on and move beyond this unanswerable question to examine why and how assessments have been and remain contradictory. Extending critical theory’s concept of intersectionality and interweaving the legacies of colonialism and informality, we ground our analysis and assessment in the concept of ambiguity. Ambiguity helps us make sense of the varied perspectives of women in this region–as shaped by class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, and ability–and the varied and complicated processes of democratization, economic reforms, and redefining borders and alliances. This presentation comes out of our collaboration on "The Routledge Handbook to Gender in Central-Eastern Europe and Eurasia" (forthcoming July 2021), which reflects on and advances the interdisciplinary, transnational, and multidimensional study of this part of the world. Over the last three decades, gender has become an integral, if derided, component of the study of the region across the social sciences. This study is also an important element of the decentering of the West in women’s, gender, and sexuality studies, especially with its nuanced and innovative theorizing on the intersections of class, ethnicity, and race outside of western frameworks. SPEAKER DESCRIPTIONS: Janet Elise Johnson is a Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College, City University of New York, USA.

Eva Jannotta is a communications consultant providing marketing and thought leadership support to North America's most recognized entrepreneurs and leaders in the women helping women economy. She offers thought leadership, marketing and social media strategy to women who serve women. Prior to starting her business Eva worked in Corporate Communications for an organic grocery store chain. She grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland and got her degrees in Gender and Women's Studies and English literature. Today she lives in Phoenix, Arizona with her partner Steve. Here's what we covered on the episode: How Eva reached out to me after hearing about the podcast and wanting to come on which sparked a conversation Eva shares a story from her childhood that had a huge impact on her growing up but shares how she didn't realize the impact it had until she was graduating with her degree in Gender Women's Studies When Eva realized a couple years into her business that she wanted to eradicate sexism and racism and realized she could through her business by helping women's voices be heard How Eva started her career in communications for an organic grocery store where she did a lot of social media and marketing strategy but ended up leaving to start her own business at 25 years old Eva shares that when she started her business she didn't have a plan and felt embarrassed about not having an aspirational start-up story but at the time she didn't know what else to do and wanted to give her own business a try Why Eva started out with a professional organizing business because she loves making order out of chaos and shares how she learned how to be organized and strategic at a young age How Eva embraced minimalism after college, not to an extreme degree but she realized she had way too much stuff for a person in their early 20s and thought with this personal experience she'd be a great personal organizer Eva found out that being a professional organizer wasn't a great fit for her and accidentally pivoted into communications because she knew someone who needed marketing and communications support When Eva started offering social media execution, she also started building her clientele one person at a time by networking and getting word of mouth referrals which made her communications business blossom How Eva realized that social media marketing on its own is typically not enough to make an impact on being seen and heard online and how you need to have more strategy behind your social media than just posting Eva tells us that she started adding thought leadership ghostwriting and thought leadership ideation where her and her clients will sit down together and develop their ideas together A look at the services Eva offers, including strategy consulting, thought leadership ideation, and social media execution Eva shares that networking and word of mouth is how she currently gets most of her clients and shares that one of her skill sets is making new friends, which is transferable to networking How if your goal as a creative or someone who offers services that have a lot to do with intellectual property is to be known for that, you have to communicate that for yourself and why you should resist the temptation to outsource that work Eva shares an example of how earlier in the year her system was to write a new thought leadership article every other week and how that system worked for four months but then fell apart so now she's shifted to a new system If you're looking to produce your own thought leadership, Eva shares that you need to be committed to it and you need to create a system for doing it and be willing to tweak the system if needed Eva shares the difference between regular content and thought leadership, and shares that Edelman and LinkedIn have a partnered thought leadership study that comes out each year which shows the influence of good thought leadership How good thought leadership makes prospective clients want to pay a premium for your services, make them respect you, and award you business and how poor content can hurt your reputation and cause them to not want to do business with you What Eva would consider to be content that is not thought leadership includes, listicles, basic practices and curating other people's ideas Eva shares that what makes thought leadership unique and challenging to produce is that it requires you to take risks with what you're saying and shares an example of thought leadership she produced earlier in the year How thought leadership can position you as an expert in your field but how as women, and women of color, it can feel vulnerable and scary to risk being wrong and how you should view people's disagreements as a good thing Eva discusses how to include social justice within your content and hopes to create a communication consultancy with anti-racism at the forefront Eva expresses the importance of following leaders of color in your industry, making sure your imagery is inclusive, and trying to imagine how the advice you're giving could be received by different identities How we need to recognize that we are going to make mistakes when trying to be more inclusive and integrate social justice How we can take responsibility for those mistakes and listen without defensiveness when people give us feedback Eva talks about a #ShareTheMicNow video on Instagram featuring a woman who talked about how it is important to start small with your activism instead of changing it overnight Practices Eva is doing within her business that you could do as well to stay inclusive include, curating content produced by people of color, making sure imagery is inclusive, Eva shares a great organization called, CreateHER Stock where you can go to get inclusive images of women Eva invites you to go to 5magneticpillars.com to find Eva's free 5-day email course where she walks you through the five pillars of magnetic thought leadership

Sex Matters: How Male-Centric Medicine Endangers Women's Health and What We Can Do About It (Hachette, 2020) tackles one of the most urgent, yet unspoken issues facing women's health care today: all models of medical research and practice are based on male-centric models that ignore the unique biological and emotional differences between men and women -- an omission that can endanger women's lives.  The facts surrounding how male-centric medicine impacts women's health every day are chilling: in the ER, women are more likely to receive a psychiatric diagnosis with regard to opioid use, while men are more likely to be referred for detoxification; the more vocal women become about their pain, the more likely their providers are to prescribe either inadequate or inappropriate pain relief medication; women often present with nontraditional symptoms of stroke, which causes delays in recognition by both them and their health professionals; and a government accountability study found that 80% of drugs that are withdrawn from the market are due to side effects that happen to women (a result of testing drugs mostly on men).  Leading expert on sex and gender medicine Dr. Alyson McGregor focuses on the key areas where these differences are most potentially harmful, addressing:  Cardiac and stroke diagnosis and treatment in women Prescription and dosing of pharmaceuticals; Subjective evaluation of women's symptoms; Pain and pain management; Hormones and female biochemistry (including prescribed hormones); How economic status, race, and gender identity are additional critical factors.  Not only does Dr. McGregor explore these disparities in depth, she shares clear, practical suggestions for what women can do to protect themselves. A work of riveting exposé with revelatory insights and actionable guidance for navigating the medical establishment, Sex Matters is an empowering roadmap for reinventing modern medicine -- and for self-care.  Alyson J. McGregor, MD, MA, FACEP, is an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, and the Co-Founder and Director for the Division of Sex and Gender in Emergency Medicine (SGEM) at Brown University's Department of Emergency Medicine. A co-founder of the national organization Sex and Gender Women's Health Collaborative, Dr. McGregor has written or co-written over seventy peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals and was also the lead editor for the medical textbook, Sex and Gender in Acute Care Medicine (Cambridge University Press, 2016).  Dr. Christina Gessler's background is in women's history, anthropology and literature. She is a historian, and photographer. In seeking the extraordinary in the ordinary, Gessler writes the histories of largely unknown women, and takes many, many photos in nature.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Maya Dusenbery, author of Doing Harm, feminist writer, knowledgable AF Doing Harm: After her  Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosis, feminist writer and author of Doing Harm, Maya Dusenbery, intuitively dove into the topic of women's health—not so much the uterus and the ovaries but a more realistic and extensive look at women's health. Why are women treated differently in the ER and the doctor's office? How did medicine become a wealthy, white, male profession? How does the old diagnosis of hysteria still play a role in medicine today? Maya answers these questions and so much more in this must-read. She uses statistics, research, personal hypothesis and heartbreaking stories from other women to make the case that bad medicine and lazy science leave women dismissed, misdiagnosed, and sick. In this episode we discuss all of this plus, of course, self-care in the midst of self-advocacy. Get in touch with Maya: Twitter: @mayadusenbery Website: www.mayadusenbery.com Link to buy book: Here Weekly Challenge: It's simple, my friends: Go to bed at the same time every night, be consistent, and create healthy circadian rhythms! This is so simple AND so important. Maya learned the hard way while writing Doing Harm how much of a difference it makes when your sleep rhythms are interrupted. We all know how much better we feel after a good night's rest. And, most of us know how necessary sleep is for healing. This is something simple you can do to assist your body in getting the most productive sleep possible. If you suffer from debilitating insomnia, I still suggest *trying* this.
