If you have pain, tingling, and/or numbness in your hands you may have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or it may be something else like Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, tight muscles around the neck and shoulders, or energy imbalances showing up physically. (The doctors may not agree and that’s ok. They still do a lot of good for many people around the world. )
Whatever the cause of the symptoms, here are some things that may help you. (Also check out our Carpal Tunnel Symptom Release service!)
Medical
Surgery – Pretty successful at alleviating the symptoms when it’s actually Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, but I’ve talked to several people who have had the symptoms come back within a year or two.
Does require several days off work and longer than a month to really recover.
Steroids and Anti-inflammatory drugs– Both may relieve the pain but there is no evidence the Non-steroid drugs will improve carpal tunnel syndrome. Generally just blocking the symptoms for a short time.
Lifestyle
Rest – Take quick breaks from repetitive activities involving the use of your hands.
Exercise and Stretching. – Yoga may be great for you.
