Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Wrist
The most advanced solution to relieving pain, swelling, inflammation, stiffness and numbness. Goode Wraps solution.
Hello. I have been reading about your tunnel wrist wrap for carpal tunnel.I was "diagnosed" years ago and I've tried just about everything for it. Ihave had extreme physical therapy, cortisone injections, anti-inflammatorydrugs, splints, and exercises, heat therapy, cold therapy, everything short ofsurgery. My former company even had an ergonomically correct workstationcreated for me with a back & foot support to try to prevent the pain andswelling. Nothing has worked. I certainly am willing to give your product atry. Why I am emailing you today is to ask if I may write a check for yourproduct instead of ordering over the Internet. I will not give my creditcard number out over the Internet, no matter how secure. If you do accept checks, is there an order form that is printable that I can include when Ido order?

Treatments
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful disorder of the wrist and hand. The
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.
Symptoms
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.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
hand through a canal or tunnel in the wrist.
The bottom and sides of this tunnel are formed by wrist bones and the
top of the tunnel is covered by a strong band of connective tissue
called a ligament.
thumb are covered with a lubricating membrane called synovium. The synovium lmay enlarge and swell under some circumstances and may
cause the median nerve to be pressed up against the ligament. This could
result in numbness, tingling in the hand, clumsiness, or pain described
as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Most cases of carpal tunnel syndrome have no known cause. However,
anything that causes swelling, thickening, or irritation of the synovial
membranes around the tendons in the carpal tunnel can result in pressure
on the median nerve. Some common causes and associated conditions are:
ïrepetitive and forceful grasping with the hands ïrepetitive bending of
the wrist ïbroken or dislocated bones in the wrist that produce swelling
ïarthritis, especially rheumatoid ïthyroid gland imbalance ïdiabetes ï
hormonal changes associated with menopause ïpregnancy
Diagnosis of this condition is determined by the following symptoms and
signs:
ïnumbness and tingling in the hands, especially when these symptoms
occur at night and after use of the hands. ïdecreased feeling in the
thumb, index, and long finger. ïthe presence in yhe hand of an

the pressure on the median nerve and may aid the physician in making a
diagnosis and forming a treatment plan.
ïMild cases may be treated by applying a brace or splint, which is
usually worn at night to keep the wrist from bending and allowing the
swollen and inflamed synovial membranes to shrink relieving the pressure
on the nerve.
ïSwollen membranes may also be reduced by taking oral
medications called non-steroidal anti-inflammatories.
ïMore severe cases
may call for a cortisone injection into the carpal tunnel. The medicine
spreads around the swollen synovial membranes surrounding the tendons
and shrinks them, relieving the pressure on the median nerve.
ïFor patients who are not helped with these non-surgical measures surgery may
be necessary. The surgery involves cutting the ligament that forms the
roof of the carpal tunnel to relieve the pressure on the median nerve.
carpal tunnel is a narrow tunnel formed by the bones and other tissues
of your wrist. This tunnel normally protects your median nerve. The
median nerve gives you feeling in your thumb, and index, middle and ring
fingers. But when other tissues in the carpal tunnel, such as ligaments
and tendons, get swollen or inflamed, they press against the median
nerve. That pressure can make part of your hand hurt or feel numb.
What are Goode Wraps, anyway?
Some researchers suspect that trigger points may actually be the root cause of true osteoarthritis and other kinds of joint deterioration. This is because muscles afflicted with trigger points become shortened and stiff. When this happens, even normal movement puts undue strain on muscle attachments at the joints, which can eventually result in damage to connective tissue and distortion of the joints themselves.
They are elasticized cloth bands or sports wraps. Each of these is impregnated with a unique blend of natural rare earth semiconductors that increase circulation to reduce pain or prevent swelling. Goode Wraps are available for the foot, ankle, knee, elbows, and wrist. In fact, the semiconductors can be added to almost any cloth like material.
Primarily to control pain and swelling. They are ideal for tired aching muscles or joints from sporting activity, exercise and repetitive stress injuries. The Goode Wraps help the muscles regain strength and prevent or lessen the sharp pain in joints from tendon stress
