Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may go away when you rest your muscles, do different activities, use proper ("good") body mechanics and posture, and exercise (move) and strengthen the muscles in your arm.
But if you don't keep doing all of those things, your symptoms can come back. (Symptoms are things like pain, tingling, numbness, knots in your back.)
Your symptoms started because you were doing things your body didn't like. It complained. You listened. Now you are here.
Here is a partial list of things you can do to get rid of your carpal tunnel symptoms.
1. Have a
professional massage. You can find information here in the "Massage" Category. Just scroll down on the right hand side of this page.
2. Do-it-yourself massage. You can find great help at Carpal Tunnel Pain Stoppers.
3. Make improvements in the food you eat. Avoid highly processed and "fake" foods and eat healthier stuff. This gets rid of additives your body doesn't like and gives it more things that it does like so it can function better. Look in the "Nutrition & Health" Category on the right hand side of this page.
4. Strengthen your back and improve your posture. Go to Simple Strengthening for lots of helpful articles.
5. Take balanced B-Complex vitamins or a really good multi-vitamin & mineral supplement.
6. Stretch the muscles in the front of your body. (They are the ones that get short. They don't complain much--they just cause problems.) Check out the "Stretching" Category here on the right.
7. If you work at a desk, check out Pain Relief Ergonomics for helpful ideas.
There are more things you can do but these are good places to start. The more good things you do for your body, the happier it will be. The happier you will be, too, because you will have relief from your carpal tunnel pain. :)
