Whats the best treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
In most cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, treatment begins with a wrist splint to be worn mainly at night. American Ortho Brace offers many varied styles, some with Vel Plush, which is an extremely comfortable padding which makes it easier to wear the brace at night while sleeping. All of the braces we offer are very lightweight in nature and easy to put on. Depending on the advise of your health care professional, you may also receive anti-inflammatory medication to decrease pain and numbness. Injections of cortisone may help reduce swelling, but they tend to provide only temporary relief. Call your doctor if you feel pain, tingling or numbness in your fingers that does not go away. If you have trouble grasping objects, making a fist or have weakness in your hand or arm, you should also see your doctor. Most people with carpal tunnel syndrome recover completely with treatment.
