another CTS post

« on: August 30, 2005, 02:42 PM »

Hello all,

I've been reading the various posts about CTS in this forum, and from what I can surmise, the surgery is more or less successful.

My question is: What if you don't want, or need, surgery?

I have CTS, but I've been able to control it somewhat. Active release techniques made it worse (for me) and Graston helped it a little too (I think I was resting more at that time as well) Now, I'm doing cold laser therapy, and so far, it's going ...ok....not bad and not good...in limbo.

What can take care of this once and for all? without surgery?

...not to mention all the money I'm paying for all this therapy, OUT OF POCKET....insurance doesn't cover chiropractic...

What caused it in your case?

As for me, mine was caused by Graves Disease and once that was "cured" it was a matter of time before the CTS went away. I did wear wrist braces to lessen the effects of CTS.
