Successful treatment requires proper attention to grip and delivery of both the tennis and golf ball as well as combining proper therapies consisting of ultrasound, ice packs, heat, massage, friction massage, rehabilitational exercise and others means. Precise attention must be given to bracing and protecting the elbow for purposes of stabilization while the injury is healing. My experience in treating this difficult condition has shown considerable success but only when faulty mechanics are dealt with. Strict attention to therapy and a special wrist and elbow brace must be worn. Unfortunately, the traditional elbow brace is inadequate to resolve this condition but brace improvements have recently arrived on the treatment scene and a superior brace is available.
Carpal tunnel is a condition which is resistant to treatment.
Pressure around the medial nerve located in the inner wrist produces symptoms of numbness, tingling, reduced blood flow and pain. Unfortunately, here again, the brace commonly worn for this condition is of poor design and adds to the problem in my opinion, further pressuring the inflamed and weakened median nerve. Experience and success in the treatment of my carpal tunnel patients indicates the use of a new design in bracing coupled with proper therapy and biomechanical evaluation of related areas. Ultrasound, contrast baths and radiocarpal stretching can greatly decrease swelling. Instrumental in achieving these goals is proper nutrition and vitamin use.
