[Spider-Man] How does Spider-Man avoid carpel tunnel or other joint issues? He is seen making the same hand motions to spin his webs, and swinging from his wrist can’t be good for his joints, right?

Because he’s a super human. His body is super strong and tough, and he heals very fast.
Minor healing factor
Usually, with superpowers, the superpowers themselves counteract any possible side effects. otherwise, they would break their legs every time they land
Spiderman has a minor healing factor.
Part of his powerset is that he has superhuman flexibility. Just for basic stretching, try the classic Spidey pose and see how long you want to stay that way. Considering that this is his go-to position, it isn’t just something he’s able to do, it’s probably as comfortable for him as lounging in a chair for a normal person. That’s not even counting his swinging where he does shit like this.
I don’t know if it’s supported canon-wise, but I’ve always liked the idea that Peter is a bit more spidery than a lot of people think. He isn’t just a dude with spider powers, he’s actually part spider and so sometimes he’ll do weird, unsettling spider shit like move or bend in a way human bodies aren’t able to.
most iterations of Spider-Man have a healing factor of varying strength. on the low end, cuts and bruises heal noticeably faster than a normal human, but not observably if you just sat there and watched.
on the high end, he’s in some cases regenerated from being all but disintegrated.
his healing factor is always, at a minimum, likely preventing permanent RSI, shin splints, and also keeping his musculature sufficient for his heroics.
a boring answer is that his durability could simply render joint issues negligible at best, given he can walk away from being yeeted through buildings.
As mentioned, enhanced durability and small healing factor.
Also nothing says that he won’t actually develop issues later in life.
