Common Symptoms You may have carpal tunnel syndrome if you have: 1. Pain in your fingers, hand, wrist (but not your pinky finger) 2. Numbness or tingling in your fingers (but not your pinky finger) 3. Hand weakness (loss of grip strength) 4. Finger dexterity problems (e.g., difficult to button your shirt) www.CarpalRx.com
How Is It Caused? To understand the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome, you have to know where it begins. It actually begins deep inside your wrist in a small, confined area known as the carpal tunnel. the carpal tunnel

How Is It Caused? (continued)
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when your tendon or its sheath (covering) is traumatized and forms tiny adhesions (scars). That causes your sheath to inflame.

Inflammation can happen for many reasons, such as over-exerting your hand and fingers.

How Is It Caused? (continued)
With the sheath gets inflamed, it pushes on the median nerve.

Since your median nerve carries sensations like pain, pressing on it gives you that same sensation.

How Is It Treated?
Most patients believe that surgery can cure carpal
tunnel syndrome. In fact, over 50% of carpal tunnel surgeries fail; and symptoms return within the first 2 years of surgery. www.CarpalRx.com
How Is It Treated? (continued)
So after your failed surgery, the only reminders you
have are more pain and numbness, more medical bills, less money, and a nasty hand scar.

What To Do?
The only treatment EVER proven 100% effective is myofascial release massage. But this isn’t your ordinary feel-good massage. Instead, a therapist kneads your tendons with a circular motion that breaks up the adhesions on your tendons. That frees them so they can glide smoothly.

How Do You Get This Treatment?
Myofascial release massage therapy is given by a certified massage or physical therapist. You must have this treatment at least daily for 4 weeks to get rid of your symptoms. Or you can use the Carpal Rx. The Carpal Rx was designed by doctors to give you this exact same therapy in your home, and automatically.
