Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the name given to the symptoms that occur when the nerves and tendons running through the carpal tunnel of the wrist are compressed by tissue or bone or become irritated and swell. The carpal tunnel itself is a narrow passage in the wrist comprised of bones and ligaments through which nerves and tendons pass into the hand.

At first, there may be numbness, tingling of the thumb, index, long and ring fingers, or burning in the hand. Shooting pain in the wrist or forearm may follow, and the grip may become weak.

"By nature, I’m a skeptic. When my brother-in-law suggested I try an elastic band for my carpal tunnel problems, I quietly laughed. After explaining to me that the band was impregnated with semiconductors, I laughed some more. In fact, I continued laughing while wearing a band immediately after a particularly painful episode of my condition. However, my laughter stopped when I realized something--the band, in fact, did work!

Unfortunately, the "band" was given to me after I went through several months of conventional treatment for my condition. This included the use of a fitted removable cast in addition to two to three hour-long hand therapy sessions over a period of six weeks. I am curious as to whether or not the use of the "band" would have shortened the treatment time."

“My fingers were getting numb. I was losing power and could not use my nippers. I thought I was going to have to give up my profession and find a new job. After using the wrist wraps for three days I had all my power back. Its been three month now and I feel great.”

At first, there may be numbness, tingling of the thumb, index, long and ring fingers, or burning in the hand. Shooting pain in the wrist or forearm may follow, and the grip may become weak. Pain is usually worse at night, and can radiate up the arm and to the back of the shoulder. The result can be tingling, numbness, and eventually debilitating pain. Early symptoms include a tingling in the fingers, often beginning several hours after work activity has stopped.

Because of this delay in the appearance of symptoms, many carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers don't realize their work activities are causing the pain until it's too late. The tingling can lead, over time, to stiffness and numbness in the fingers and hand, and then to severe wrist and hand pain.

Time to Abandon the "Tendonitis" Myth

By K M Khan, assistant professor.
Department of Family Practice, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Z3

Tendonitis such as that of the Achilles, lateral elbow, and rotator cuff tendons is a common presentation to family practitioners and various medical specialists.

Most currently practicing general practitioners were taught, and many still believe, that patients who present with overuse tendonitis have a largely inflammatory condition and will benefit from anti-inflammatory medication.

Ten of 11 readily available sports medicine texts specifically recommend non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for treating painful conditions like Achilles and patellar tendonitis despite the lack of a biological rationale or clinical evidence for this approach.

Instead of adhering to the myths above, physicians should acknowledge that painful overuse tendon conditions have a non-inflammatory cause.

A critical review of the role of various anti-inflammatory medications in soft tissue conditions found limited evidence of short term pain relief and no evidence of their effectiveness in providing even medium term clinical resolution of clearly diagnosed tendon disorders.

Laboratory studies have not shown a therapeutic role for these medications. Steroid injections provide mixed results in relieving the pain of tendon problems.

If general practitioners, orthopedic surgeons, and other members of the healthcare professions treating tendon disorders made a quantum shift from previous flawed teaching about overuse tendonitis and adopted these data there would be immediate ramifications.

Some pockets of the sports medicine, orthopedics, and rheumatology specialties have adopted this paradigm, 2-4 10 but it must no longer remain within that cabal. It is time for medical educators to accept the irrefutable evidence that the term tendonitis must be abandoned to highlight a new perspective on tendon disorders. Adopting the tendinopathy paradigm is essential if general practitioners are to practice evidence based medicine.

Using anti-inflammatory medication for these tendon problems is a prescription for disaster as they clearly do not treat the underlying cause and have the potential to cause significant complications.

Put simply, the philosophy is that the body is a self regulating bioenergetic and biomechanical phenomena which will continue to regulate itself for as long as it has the reserve energy necessary to sustain life, by the ongoing process of biological adaptation.

Bowen realized that the body would regulate itself and return to balance if the appropriate neurological and neuromuscular context was created so that it could. There was never the question of if it could, this was implicit -- the fact that the person had life was evidence enough that it could!
