What Is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome?

10. Prevention
You can decrease your chances of developing cubital tunnel syndrome by modifying your activities to avoid those that may put pressure or strain on the ulnar nerve. For example, if your symptoms are work-related due to typing or talking on the phone, you can make changes to your work station so that your elbows are above the surface of your desk and try wearing a headset rather than holding the phone up to your ear.
Improving the strength and flexibility of your arms may also help to prevent cubital tunnel syndrome. Talk to your doctor, therapist, or trainer for examples of exercises that would be helpful. Be sure to warm up before activities that could strain your ulnar nerve.
