Carpal DMT® Non-Surgical Wrist & Hand Care

"The Non-Surgical Solution to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome"

Carpal DMT®, or Carpal Decompression Mobilization Therapy, is a new procedure in carpal tunnel syndrome research and treatment. This advanced procedure works to reduce the compression of the median nerve at the wrist, remove the inflammation, and restore normal, pain free functioning of the hand and wrist. Carpal DMT® helps stop the progression of permanent nerve damage.

Carpal Decompression Mobilization Therapy (Carpal DMT®) can help decrease the severity of symptoms and increase proper mobility and function. CTS sufferers may experience a decrease in pain or discomfort and an increase in grip strength and hand movement. Carpal DMT® is conservative, safe, non-surgical and non-invasive.

Treatment lasts approximately 4-8 weeks depending on severity. Chronic suffers should allow for an extension of treatment time. There is no “post-surgical healing period” and most patients can quickly resume day-to-day home and job activities during treatment, with minor modifications.

Carpal DMT® is safe, non-invasive and non-surgical corrective-care for carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers. Carpal DMT® can reduce the severity of symptoms, facilitate healing and may improve wrist and hand function. Carpal DMT® is also highly recommended for women with pregnancy-induced CTS.

Most patients can return to normal day-to-day activities within the first few treatments, or in some cases, almost immediately if special care is taken to avoid additional repetitive stress on the injury.

This is a tremendous benefit over CTS surgery, which studies showed an average return-to-work time among workers compensation patients at 71 to 78 days after surgery. Carpal DMT® has no post-procedure healing period, allowing for a dramatic decrease in time-off from work and normal activities.

"Maybe it will just go away."

These words could be harmful to your health and lead to a permanent debilitating disorder if CTS is not treated. CTS can cause serious nerve damage, shrinking of the hand muscles, permanent hand weakness, numbness, and/or long-term pain if left untreated. Delay in Carpal DMT® treatment may result in persistence of some symptoms despite adequate decompression of the carpal tunnel.

A diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome should be acted upon quickly. Undergoing Carpal DMT® procedures in the earlier stages of the syndrome usually produces the fastest results. Sufferers who have had wrist problems for longer periods should allow for extension of treatment time.

Other treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome

Splints are used to keep the wrist and hand in neutral position. Splints normally decrease the muscle-pumping actions of the hand, which can lead to fluid accumulation and inflammation, possibly leading to an increase in painful and bothersome symptoms over time.

Anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) are commonly used to reduce inflammation and decrease pain. These medications may provide temporary symptomatic relief of minor pain associated with CTS. However, medications can mask the symptoms and may allow for continued nerve degeneration.

Corticosteroid injections may also provide temporary symptomatic relief, however recurrence of symptoms is common. Risks of these injections include permanent nerve damage, if the needle contacts the nerve. Injections also masks symptoms and may allow for additional nerve damage and degeneration.

Surgical decompression (open or endoscopic) permanently alters the hand and wrist by cutting the transverse carpal ligament. Aside from the usual risks of surgery (infection, scalpel damage to nerve, ligaments, tendons, vessels, etc.) healing time is slow (up to four months). Scar tissue may later form in the permanently altered wrist, leading to further pressure on the median nerve and likely reoccurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms.
