subject: Carpal Tunnel Pain Relief [print this page] Suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome can affect your life in a major way. The stinging pain that you experience in your hands can prevent you from completing simple every day things that you enjoy doing. Some experts even speculate that carpal tunnel pain can even have an affect on your self esteem.
This pain that you feel in your wrists and hands can be treated in non-conventional ways if you know what to do. As a matter of fact, surgery is the least effective form of treatment for carpal tunnel pain. For this reason, most surgeons are quite reluctant to perform this surgery until you've tried all other means of treatment. Even after having carpal tunnel surgery the pain may return and it is not uncommon for people to have more than one surgery.
There are a few ways of treating carpal tunnel pain that does not involve any drugs or equipment. The key is in finding a solution that will be easy to use and that can be repeated should the need arise. Depending on how advanced your condition is will affect the ability for any remedy to work. Don't let this discourage you from pursuing alternative methods of treatment, it may mean that you simply have to use the method more than once.
It will be crucial that you evaluate your lifestyle to try and determine what activity you are doing is contributing to the pain. You will need to eliminate or at the very least reduce this activity. If you don't, then it is highly possible that the pain will return.
You will need to focus on increasing the strength of your tendons and ligaments and there are specific exercises to help you do just that. Before you run off and start lifting weights on performing "functional training" let me state that is not what is required. There are specific exercises that target the tendons and ligaments that may seem very easy to perform but are incredibly effective. Learning these exercises will be easy and once you know them you can use them over and over.
