Once one or more tendons in the hand/wrist are injured it becomes very difficult to recover 100%. It is almost impossible to keep from re-straining them because it can be extremely difficult to keep from stressing the joint (even when sleeping). It's just not possible to stop everything and rest your wrists and hands properly. Everyone has demands that make them keep going and in the process we increase the carpal injury further, leading to increased swelling, lack of blood flow, loss of feeling and even loss of finger control. What ends up happening is we slowly give up the ability to use the wrist and hands, slowly eradicating the active life we once led.

If you have a carpal tunnel injury, it's very important to heal it quickly and completely. If you don't, it may plague you forever. As Carpal Tunnel sufferers will tell you, a month of rest and proper therapy is much better than a lifetime of debilitating pain. If you have ever spoken with past Carpal Tunnel sufferers who have had surgery, you know you need to start an active CTS treatment plan and avoid surgery!

Symptoms of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Although they vary from person to person, most of these symptoms are generally experienced on either the inside of the ankle and/or the bottom of the foot. The most common symptoms noted by those who suffer from Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome are:

Tingling, burning, or prickling sensation (also known as paresthesias), in your foot (often in your arch, toe or heal).
Vague or sharp pain, near the area where the nerve is squeezed (often in the sole of your foot, near your big toe, or along your nerve); this pain tends to be worse at night.
Numbness, a loss of sensation in the area of skin that is supplied by the nerve.
Atrophied (weakened) muscles in your inner foot (around the ball or arch of your foot) can affect your gait (the way you walk). You may have a tendency to overpronate (your foot rolls in too much), limp or feel uncoordinated as a result of too much pressure being placed on your foot.
A lower foot deformity (like flat feet) can increase tension in the foot and may instigate the symptoms of TTS.

You can feel these symptoms on their own in one location or in various locations across your foot and lower leg. They can be aggravated by overuse of your foot through walking, exercising or prolonged standing. These symptoms will often subside with rest however they will not disappear.

If left untreated, you are at risk of suffering from permanent nerve damage.

Letters From Our Customers:

I developed tendonitis in my left wrist back in 6/07. I had a cortisone injection which only lasted 2 months. Then I had physical therapy for 2 months and it helped but I still had limited use and still felt a considerable amount of pain in my wrist. In December, I decided to try acupuncture. I finally started to find some relief but the she told me that it would be helpful if I applied some heat in order to increase the blood flow to the wrist. So I started to look in the internet and came upon your website. I purchased the left CTS infrared device and started using it in February. I can honestly say that now I currently have full mobility of my left wrist and no pain. I would say that it took approximately a month and half to feel complete relief and I am grateful.

I treated my left hand/wrist several times for carpal tunnel syndrome according to instructions. After suffering for months with this condition with literally no use of my left hand, it is now at least 80-90% better than it was. I can now pick things up and bend my hand backwards without pain or spasm up my forearm. I am impressed. Thanks for a great product.

- Robert Molzahn
