Curious….What is the treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome that is non-surgical?
Surgery tends to create scar tissue, which is never good around joints, tendons and ligaments. 
. I’d only suggest it as a last resort.
First I’d try:
- a regimen of Glucosamine Sulfate or Glucosamine Condriotin: 2 capsules twice a day for a week, then 1 twice a day until you feel marked improvement in your joints
- soak your hands and wrists in hot water for 20 min twice a day (this one is annoying and time consuming – but really helps)
- combined with massage – by a professional massage therapist who does sports massage
if this doesn’t help after a month or so, you might try something more radical : accupressure or accupuncture. It might sound a bit odd, but it helped my aunt’s torn rotator cuff even after surgery had failed. And it’s a cheaper, non-evasive treatment. After all, if you’re willing to go under the knife, why not try going under the needle first.
There are many Carpal Tunnel Topical Creams that are proven to work immediately to relief pain and improves flexibility & eliminates Inflammation without costly surgery.
