Testimonial |
After
being diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome 1 year ago, I
started using FLEXTEND. Now my hands are stronger, more flexible
and the aching in my hands has totally disappeared. I can
now enjoy activities, which I previously avoided for fear
of injuring my hands further. FLEXTEND has truly helped turn
my life around!

TREATMENTS:
- Surgery:
The average failure rate is 57% after following the patient from 1-day to 6-years. At least one of the following symptoms re-occurred during this time; pain, numbness, and tingling sensations.
After 6-years, the onset of at least one of these symptoms can be greater than 90%. Most of these individuals will have surgery more than once, and patients have been known to have as many as 5-8 surgeries on just one hand!
- Wrist Splints and Anti-Inflammmatory Medication:
This approach to treating carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain injuries has a very poor success rate. The FAILURE RATE for total alleviation of all symptoms is about 82.6%.
- Steroid Injection:
The FAILURE RATE for total alleviation after a one-year follow-up is about 75.6% of all patients.
