Massage therapy is a great alternative for carpal tunnel syndrome



If you have ever told your medical doctor that you are suffering from symptoms of carpal tunnel, he or she likely told you to try drugs to manage pain, or even expensive surgery.

However a lot of people are becoming aware of the dangers of prescription and non prescription drugs. Massage therapy can be a safe and effective way to relieve pain from carpal tunnel syndrome.

By choosing massage as your method of relief, you are addressing the cause of your dysfunction. Carpal tunnel is an entrapment of the median nerve as it passes under the transverse carpal ligament into the wrist.

Through a combination of deep tissue massage and stretching, I will be able to address the cause of your carpal tunnel in a way that drugs and surgery can not.

Symptoms include pain, tingling, numbness, in the thumb and first three fingers. Barbers, cooks, musicians, or anyone that works with their hands are most likely to suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome. So make your appointment today if you are suffering from pain!
