my CTS - chiropractor, acupuncture?   Message List

RE: [repetitivestrain] my CTS - self treating the muscles

Hi Matt and Janet,
 
Massage saved me from having surgery.  I'm a deep muscle therapist, when I couldn't even open a doorknob or pick up a glass, I eventually figured out how to self-treat each of the muscles from my neck to my hand, and eventually all of the other muscles in the body for lots of other painful conditions.  I love getting massage, but I realized that it would take more than a once-a-week treatment to heal my arms.  With self-treatment I was able to work on the muscle 10 times a day.  It doesn't take long to heal this condition when you are working on the spasms many times every day.
 
You can take a look at the muscles that cause CTS pain, and read the information sent by lots of people after they worked out their spasms.  The best part is, you don't have to go for surgery.
 
Wishing you well,
     Julie

Matt, my chiro was able to relieve symptoms in the beginning, but as you
say, the tingling and numbness just got worse.  I refuse to have any
surgery. 

I have been seeing a massage therapist weekly since mid-November, and I
can't tell you how much relief she has given me.  If I could afford
acupuncture, I would do that too, but finances are not that good right now.
I would say that it can't hurt, so give it a try, or try massage.  She works
me from my head down to my chest muscles, my back, and my arms, hands and
fingers.  I love massage day!

Janet
