14C. Case Studies on the Outcome of Integrative Management of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Trigger Fingers
نویسنده
چکیده
Carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger fingers, and deQuervaines’ tenosynovitis are often regarded as surgical lesions. Using an interprofessional team approach, all these conditions can be treated with nonsurgical techniques. A 44-year-old accountant presented with hand pain requiring workplace accommodation. He had electrodiagnositc evidence of carpal tunnel syndrome bilaterally with the right side worse than the left. He was scheduled for surgery when he was offered the opportunity to see an integrative practitioner. He was treated integratively and with intramuscular stimulation, massage, and physical therapies. He achieved nonsurgical resolution of his complaints. He returned to full-time work. The course of treatment was 3 months, and the electrodiagnostics returned to normal after 6 months.
