Top 10 Homeopathic medicines for Writer’s Cramp

What is Writer’s Cramp?

Writer’s cramp refers to focal dystonia of hands, fingers and/forearm. Dystonia means involuntary muscle contraction; focal means affecting specifically one part of body. Writer’s cramp is also task specific, which means symptoms appear only while doing specific tasks (here fine motor tasks such as writing and playing a musical instrument are usually involved).

Causes of Writer’s Cramp

The exact cause of writer’s cramp is not yet known. However, writer’s cramp results from excessive fine motor activity and poor pen-holding technique when writing. The focal dystonia or involuntary muscle contraction in a specific part of the body is linked with malfunction of various areas of the brain including basal ganglia and sensori-motor cortex. Factors such as stress and anxiety can worsen a writer’s cramp.

Symptoms of Writer’s Cramp

Writer’s cramp may be classified into two categories – simple writer’s cramp and dystonic writer’s cramp. In simple writer’s cramp, the symptoms appear only while writing. In dystonic writer’s cramp, the symptoms appear not only while writing, but also while performing other tasks with the hand such as using a knife, applying make-up or eating. The symptoms of writer’s cramp are very hard or excessive gripping of the pen, flexing of the wrist, elevation of elbow, extension of fingers, lack of muscle coordination in the hand, cramping pain in the hand, muscle fatigue or weakness, hand trembling and dropping of items such as pen, utensils from the hand.

Homeopathic Treatment of Writer’s Cramp

Writer’s cramp finds proper treatment in Homeopathy and has resulted in excellent recoveries. Homeopathic medicines, which are natural and safe, effectively manage the symptoms of writer’s cramp. There are no patented Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp or one medicine-for-all kinds of writer’s cramp that will work in every case. The best Homeopathic medicine for writer’s cramp needs to be selected as per each individual case. The Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp that I have found highly useful are – Magnesium Phos, Gelsemium, Stannum Met, Silicea and Cuprum Met.

Homeopathic Medicines for Writer’s Cramp

Magnesium Phos – One of the best Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp, musician’s cramp

Magnesium Phos is one of the best Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp as well as musician’s cramp. In my clinical practice, I have seen a number of writer’s cramp cases recover wonderfully well with the use of Magnesium Phos. The main indication for using Magnesium Phos is contraction in fingers while writing. The fingers feel tight while writing and cramps are experienced. Magnesium Phos is also one of the most suited Homeopathic medicines for contraction of fingers in musicians while playing musical instruments like the piano or the violin. Sharp, shooting, cramping or tearing pain in the hand and fingers may also be felt along with muscle contraction.

Gelsemium – One of the most effective Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp with lack of muscle coordination

Gelsemium is another Homeopathic medicine that has shown satisfactory results in writer’s cramp cases. The guiding symptom for use of Gelsemium is a lack of muscle coordination in hands. Weakness in hands is also felt. The slightest exertion increases this weakness. The hands may also feel heavy while writing. Gelsemium is also one of the best Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp cases where anxiety tends to worsen the symptoms of writer’s cramp.

Stannum Met and Sulphuric Acid – Excellent Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp with prominent jerking of hands while writing

Natural medicines Stannum Met and Sulphuric Acid are the most widely used Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp cases where the main complaint is jerking of the pen while writing. The person experiences contraction of muscles in the fingers and hands while writing. Stannum Met is considered the best choice among Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp in cases classified as typewriter’s paralysis. Dropping of things from the hand due to muscle weakness is a major indication for prescribing Homeopathic medicine Stannum Met.

Silicea – One of the top grade Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp with trembling of hands

Silicea is one of the high grade Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp where hand muscle contraction is accompanied by a trembling of hands. The hand and forearm feel week along with the above mentioned symptoms. The fingers feel week while writing and dropping of the pen may result in most such cases. In addition to these symptoms, increased sweating on the hands has been noted in such instances where Silicea will prove to be the most effective prescription.

Cyclamen, Cuprum Met and Brachyglottis – Top-rated Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp

Some other effective Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp are Cyclamen, Cuprum Met and Brachyglottis. Natural medicine Cyclamen is prescribed when cramping or contraction of the thumb and index finger are the prominent symptoms. Cuprum Met is the most reliable among Homeopathic medicines for writer’s cramp where cramps, jerking, twitching and weariness of hand muscles are present. Where cramps are felt in the fingers and wrist while writing, practitioners rely on Homeopathic medicine Brachyglottis for recovery. Soreness in the wrist may also be present along with cramps in such cases.
