Vibration White Finger
Vibration White Finger (VWF) is a disabling condition that can cause the sufferer a lifetime of discomfort and frustration.
As the name suggests, the symptoms affect the fingers running from the tips downwards by damaging the nerve endings in the fingers and is usually caused through a prolonged use of vibrating machinery and tools.
As a result many sufferers of the condition may be able to make a vibration white finger claim against their employer.
