The resources on RSI Healer are here to help readers understand how computer overuse injuries develop, how to prevent them, and how to treat them at home.

Treating Repetitive Stress Injuries

Western medicine excels at treating immediate, acute injuries, yet is less successful diagnosing or effectively treating chronic injuries. Computer overuse problems develop slowly and plague people over weeks, months, and even years. Many of us work through the pain, not knowing what else to do.

By the time it affects our ability to work, it is too late for a quick fix. Some turn to surgery, steroids, or other promising treatments, but in the long run, many of these prove ineffective. It’s essential to understand that not every treatment will work for every individual. Holistic treatments exist, but they do take commitment and effort to learn what works, follow through on therapy, and change your lifestyle. It’s not always easy to adjust your habits and routines for healthier living, but it is worthwhile.

Healing Chronic Pain

This web site began in late 2007, as a way to share knowledge. It is a completely not for profit, public service site made possible by just a couple of people’s efforts. The articles are written and developed from experience, online research, and conversations with physical therapists, health professionals, and other RSI sufferers. Today, we’re updating sporadically as the mood strikes, so sign up the RSS feed to get notified when new articles get posted.

Ergo Products Help Bring Relief

Setting up a comfortable computer workstation has to be the first and easiest step in relieving pain from computer overuse. Head over to the store front to find our recommendations for ergonomic and therapeutic products, selected from Amazon—stuff like keyboards, mice, and other types of ergonomic and therapeutic supplies. If you order directly from a link on our store, we get a small percentage of the cost, which helps run the site. Thanks for your support!
