How is atrophy associated with carpal tunnel syndrome?
Any part of the body that movement causes pain will decrease muscle use. When musches are not used, they atrophy. If a brace is used this will cause the muscles to atrophy if used for a long period of time. ************************************************* If the median nerve is compressed for a very long time, the nerve impulses will be decreased to certain hand muscles and this can eventually cause atrophy or a shrinkage of the muscle and therefore loss of strength, etc... In chronic (long-standing) carpal tunnel syndrome, the muscle atrophy that results is almost always permanent and cannot fully recover, even after carpal tunnel release surgery. Permanent muscle weakness (atrophy) of the thenar muscles (primarily the abductor pollicis brevis) is a complication that hand surgeons are trying to prevent when they recommend surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. A brace can be used effectively in early or mild cases of carpal tunnel syndrome. The brace prevents high pressures in the carpal tunnel by limiting motion in the wrist. This is not a long-term solution but may provide some temporary relief and cure a small percentage of patients.
Can acupuncture Cure carpal tunnel syndrome?
This is impossible to answer.Classical or traditional Cchinese acupuncture treats the dynamic body as a whole and not a symtom (CTS).But expereince tells us that: Yes, it might well cure your problem. But nothing can be said as to the length of treatment. If it is accompanied by Tui Na (chinese physiotherpay) then acupuncture would stand a very good chance of curing CTS but it will probably not work on its own ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most reputable medical experts would say no...acupuncture and massage therapy and yoga etc..have been studied over the years and none of them have proven to "cure" carpal tunnel syndrome. Can they relieve carpal tunnel symptoms? absolutley!..how much depends on the cause of your CTS and how severe of a case you have, your age, how long have you had it before treatment etc...
Can you have carpal tunnel syndrome with no pain?
Probably not. It really depends on your definition of severe. Some people feel that they have severe symptoms but in reality their NCS (nerve conduction studies) are reported out as mild and a large portion of their symptoms are related to tendonitis etc..However, If you actually have NCS/EMG studies showing severe CTS and symptoms for longer than 3 months, then you will need carpal tunnel release

Can electric shock cause carpal tunnel syndrome?
I'm not sure about "causing" it. But it could cure it. My mother was electrocuted by lightning through the pipes of our house (she was in the shower, turning off the water, when it struck) and the shock affected both of her hands. It instantly cured a nearly debilitating case of carpal tunnel syndrome in both of her hands. Obviously, that's not a good way to get this kind of therapy, heh, please do not shower during a thunderstorm. But it seems like a path doctors should explore a bit as it was a non-invasive, painless occurrence.
Which carpal tunnel treatment do you take to get a cure?
Well it would be difficult to say one treatment or any treatment can actually cure Carpal tunnel syndrome since it can be caused from many things. If you have diabetes or hypothyroidism..then getting these conditions under control may help reduce your CTS symptoms. If repetitive use is causing your symptoms then reducing hand useage etc..may help. The main treatment of CTS involves using ice wrist wraps 2-3 x day. taking OTC pain relievers per label. Using pain relieving gels massaged into the carpal tunnel area. Sleeping in specially made night splints and doing special wrist stretching and exercises.
