Medical Experts on Carpal Tunnel Healing

Why a Six Week Carpal Tunnel Treatment Protocol?

The six week carpal tunnel protocol is a nightly stretching routine that gives soft tissue the time it needs to heal. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by excess inflammation that gets trapped in the Carpal Tunnel Space. This trapped-inflammation puts pressure on the Median Nerve Causing Carpal Tunnel Symptoms, but it also restricts blood circulation and lymphatic fluid exchange. These are the main paths your body would typically use to disperse inflammation. So, CTS sets up a cyclical condition, that can not heal itself without some natural treatment to jump-start the healing process and begin dispersing the inflammation again. Natural healing takes time, but it is worth it to avoid the risks and downtime of Carpal Tunnel Surgery. For general medical background, see the NINDS fact sheet on carpal tunnel syndrome.
