Carpal tunnel syndrome is typically treated by
one or more of the following methods: 

Splint or Brace

Goal: The splint or brace immobilizes the wrist and reduces movement, which

reduces swelling as the tendons rest.

Risks or Challenges: Wrist splints and wrist braces are inconvenient because 

they restrict movement and impede your daily activities.  They hurt the healing process when used too long, weakening the muscles that should be strengthened.  They're
also sweaty, itchy and cumbersome.

Carpal Tunnel-Release Surgery
Goal: This is a surgical procedure where the carpal tunnel ligament gets severed
in half, widening the tunnel and releasing pressure on the overcrowded tendons.

Risks or challenges: The problem here is that integrity and strength of the
carpal tunnel is lost, causing the flexor tendons to splay out.  Surgery is irreversible! Additionally, surgery poses all sorts of risks such as loss of grip strength, potentially
long recovery time, chance of infection... and even a failure rate of over 50%.
Note:  Only 23% of all carpal tunnel syndrome patients returned to their previous professions following surgery.   

Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS)

Goal:  Anti-inflammatory drugs reduce swelling and relieve pain.

Risks or Challenges: Drugs offer temporary relief, which can lead to addiction. 
Over time, pill-popping, even of Advil or Ibuprofen, can become expensive.  Not to
mention, who really knows what the potential threats to the liver and other organs might
be from repeated, long-term use of even OTC drugs.


Cortisone
Goal:  Cortisone is a powerful, anti-inflammatory injected steroid drug that reduces
swelling in the short term.

Risks or Challenges: The problem with cortisone is its potential health risks -
for example, reducing immune response, destroying body tissue, thinning joint cartilage, weakening the joint.  Side effects can include dizziness, nausea, trouble sleeping, and increased possibility of infection.  With steroids, carpal tunnel sufferers frequently need
to "up their dose" as the body grows immune.  In many cases, inflammation occurs
inside joints because the steroids stay there and crystallize instead of breaking down inside the body.

Other methods of carpal tunnel treatment include massage therapy 
and acupuncture.  These methods treat only the symptoms, are typically not covered by insurance, and can be very expensive 
with repeated use!
