Acupuncture for carpel tunnel? | |
I am a very strong believer in natural medicine. My mother has recently developed carpel tunnel from her job, so she pretty much cant stop what she is doing. It's only in one hand and aparently it's pretty bad. I keep telling her to get acupuncture becuase frankly I think it would probably work. Has anyone had this for carpel tunnel or know if it would work well? I would really hate if she had to resort to the surgery.
Answers:
1I have dequervian's tendonitis, which is similar to carpal tunnel, but in a different spot on the wrist. Acupuncture does work for some people. It is non-evasive and temporary, for those it does work for, so expect several trips each time the pain flares up.
I had a surgery done to permanently remove the pain. If your mom should chose this route, make sure she is actively involved in "scar management" and requests occupational physical therapy for the best and speediest recovery. Immediately after the surgery, although sore from the procedure, the pain from the tendons was gone.
Acupuncture results will definitely vary from person to person. I had tried it for some other things to no success.
