If I have a Repetitive Stress Injury, won't this just aggravate
the problem?

Excellent question because this might seem counter-intuitive.  The Carpal Tone System is designed to regain balance in the use of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in your hands and wrists.  Repetitive Stress Injuries are the result of over-use and strain of some of the tendons and ligaments while other muscles, tendons, and ligaments are under-utilized - this can cause an imbalance that can result in the strain and pain that is often associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and other forms of repetitive stress injuries. Remember to use your Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage and your Carpal Tone Iso properly, with your palms facing up and not facing down.  Each person is unique and will start feeling results at different times. Results will vary.

What results can I expect?  

Each person is unique and will start feeling results at different times.  Results will vary. Use of the Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage creates what can feel like a gentle internal massage - the Micro-Massage.  The longer you use your Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage, the more you will feel the Micro-Massage effects.  Use of the Carpal Tone Iso creates what can feel like a very gentle yet effective Isotonic exercise session.  The Carpal Tone Iso is designed to help strengthen the muscles that may sometimes be ignored with the day-to-day activities we all take part in that can lead to repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis. The isotonic exercise is created due to the strong magnetic resistance of the Carpal Tone Iso unit, and proper and consistent use of the Carpal Tone Iso will lead to stronger and healthier hand and wrist function (without adding bulk!).  Strengthening the muscles in your hands, wrists and forearms can help to reduce the strain on the tendons and ligaments that can sometimes swell up and cause the tension and pain that is often associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and other forms of repetitive stress injuries.

Does it work for people with arthritis, or joint problems?    

Arthritis and joint problems are different than RSI and CTS related issues.  We strongly recommend that you check with your doctor before using the Carpal Tone System for joint related issues.  

How long should I use my Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage?   

Each person is unique and will start feeling results at different times.  Five to ten (5-10) minutes a day is a good starting goal - this works for most people.  As you get comfortable using your Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage, it will become easy to use for even longer periods of time... and the need to use them will be less often.  But, you may find yourself using it more often because it can be very relaxing and even fun!  Remember, clock-wise in your right hand and counter-clock-wise in your left hand - always palm side up!

How long should I use my Carpal Tone Iso?   

Each person is unique and will start feeling results at different times.  We recommend starting with two to five (2-5) minutes a day as a good starting goal - this is effective for most people. As you get use to using your Carpal Tone Iso, it will become easy to use for even longer periods of time... and the need to use them will be less often.  But, you may find yourself using it more often because it can be very fun - and if you're athletic, you will really begin to enjoy the benefits of a stronger grip and healthier hands, wrists and forearms.  Remember, to always use it palm side up!

How often should I use my Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage?   

Each person is unique and will start feeling results at different times.  Five to ten (5-10) minute sessions twice a day is a good starting goal - this works for most people. 

How often should I use my Carpal Tone Iso?   

Each person is unique and will start feeling results at different times.  We recommend starting with two to five (2-5) minute sessions twice a day as a good starting goal - this is effective for most people. 

How long does this treatment last?   

Each person is unique and you can use your Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage and your Carpal Tone Iso for as short or as long as you choose.  There is no real way of knowing "how long this treatment lasts" because there is no cure for carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive stress injuries.  But the great news is that the benefits of the Carpal Tone System never run out!  The Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage and the Carpal Tone Iso can last indefinitely if you take proper care of them.  They can both be used with either your left or your right hand - or with BOTH your left and your right hands!  You only need to get them once, and they can be used over and over again without renewal costs or repurchase.

Will this cure my CTS / RSI / wrist pain?   

No, there is no cure for Repetitive Stress Injury, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or Tendonitis; however, proper and consistent use of the Carpal Tone System and other Carpal Tone products can support your overall wrist health far into the future.

Will this improve my grip strength?   

Yes, frequent and proper use will improver your grip strength (barring other health issues, of course).  Like any exercise device, the longer and more often you use your Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage and your Carpal Tone Iso the stronger your grip will become.  

Will this reduce the pain in my hand and wrist?   

Yes, if you use the Carpal Tone System properly and consistently, and are currently suffering from Repetitive Stress Injury, Tendonitis, or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, then you should experience a reduction in pain (barring other health issues or injuries).  Of course, each person is unique and results may vary.  The Carpal Tone System is not intended to treat, diagnose, cure or prevent any disease or illness.  But proper and consistent use our the Carpal Tone products can support your overall wrist health.

Does this work on both hands?   

Yes, both the Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage and the Carpal Tone Iso can be used in Both the right and the left hands.  They can also be shared with other hands - friends, family, and co-workers.  You only need to get them once, and they can be used over and over again without renewal costs or repurchase.  With proper care of your Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage and your Carpal Tone Iso, they will last forever. 

Do I need the Carpal Tone Essentials?   

No, you do not “need” to take Carpal Tone Essentials for use of the other Carpal Tone products to be effective.  However, we recommend that you do to support your overall wrist health - Carpal Tone Essentials is designed to support joint and bone health and comfort.  Carpal Tone Essentials provides a healthy balance of essential fatty acids that are critical to total body health - these essential fatty acids play a vital role in supporting nerve system functions.  Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking any other medications for your health or any other health related issues whatsoever.

Does Micro-Massage hurt?   

No, when used properly as directed and barring other medical or physical impairments, conditions or injuries, use of the Carpal Tone with Micro-Massage (and other Carpal Tone products) should not cause any pain.
