You will be shocked when you find out how many unnecessary surgeries are making junk yards out of peoples wrists...and...the worst thing is that even after the surgeries, in many cases, the cause is left untreated! As you read on, you will discover the missing contributing factor to carpal tunnel syndrome that is missed by most doctors over 95% of the time. Read this report to discover... How A Local Doctor Is Quietly Rescuing Hundreds Of Hand & Wrist Pain Sufferers From...Pain, Misery, And Surgery! Dear Friend: Would you like to return to pain-free living without having to resort to harmful drugs and surgery? Are you afraid that surgery is your only option and feel skeptical about anything else that claims to work? If you answered “yes”, then you must read this entire report because it is written for you, the skeptical carpal tunnel syndrome victim. Are you worried about your future? Many people are forced to quit their jobs because of carpal tunnel related problems, and sadly, a lot of business owners lost their business because of this life-changing condition. Here’s one of the reasons why... Most Doctors Do Not Have A Thorough Understanding Of The Cause Of Hand & Wrist Pain! You may already have been to several doctors and tried many failed remedies. Most medical doctors spend their day treating infections, cuts, fractures, prescribing medications, and performing surgeries. They simply do not have the experience or knowledge in treating carpal tunnel syndrome related problems -- it’s just not a big part of their training, but you know what? They still “treat” carpal tunnel syndrome by saying... ”Wear this splint whenever your wrists hurt”. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Is Not Due To A Motrin Deficiency! Carpal tunnel syndrome is a repetitive stress injury. It usually develops slowly over time. The repetitive contraction and relaxation of the arm muscles...and...continuous hand and finger movements...can irritate the nerves, tendons, and the muscles in the arms, wrists, and hands. Why Do Some People Get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, And Others Don’t...Even Though They Do The Same Job? The “carpal tunnel” is a small canal inside of your wrist. The top part is formed by the wrist bones, and the bottom is formed by a ligament. Think of it this way: The wrist bones are near the top of your hand. If you turn your hand over, imagine a piece of nylon tape running across your wrist. Your nerves, arteries, veins, and tendons run through this “tunnel”. The 8 Warning Signs Of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome 1) Tingling 2) Weakness in your hands 3) Numbness 4) Neck tension 5) Pain at night 6) Swelling 7) Abnormal sensations 8) Hand Clumsiness What Structures Run Through The “Carpal Tunnel”? 1) A big nerve called the “median nerve”. 2) Nine tendons that enable you to curl your wrist and fingers. 3) Blood vessels. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Results From Compression Of The Median Nerve Inside The “Carpal Tunnel” The median nerve starts in the neck and travels under your collar bone, then down your arm, through the “carpal tunnel”, to the hand muscles. The median nerve controls some of the feeling, and movement functions in the hand. How Does The Median Nerve Get Compressed? The median nerve can become “crushed” anywhere along its course from the neck to the “carpal tunnel”. Misaligned bones in the neck, tight neck muscles, shoulder problems, inflamed tendons, and misaligned bones in the hand are capable of compressing or irritating the median nerve -- resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome. What Causes All These Things? A small portion of carpal tunnel sufferers are born with this problem (called: congenital), the rest are a result of poor posture, repetitive movements over time (done improperly), poor work station arrangements, slip & falls experienced throughout life, sleeping on your stomach or hands, and awkward hand positions while playing sports and hobbies. Other causes may be related to pregnancy, birth control pills, high salt diets, and diabetes ( which causes the body to retain water). All of these may contribute to the compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Most Doctors Assume That It’s All In Your Wrist...Or Hand! Did you know that most carpal tunnel syndrome victims have a primary median nerve “crush” site in their neck? The median nerve does not come from the sky into your hand. It does not travel up your leg into your hand...It comes straight out from the bones in your neck! If your doctor does not look at your neck, he/she is missing the boat and should not be treating you! It’s not your doctor’s fault. Doctors are trained to diagnose and treat symptoms. And with this approach, it is easy to miss the neck when treating the pain...instead of the cause! Now, sometimes median nerve compression is so advanced that drugs and surgery are the only courses left to take. But, if you wait too long...even you may need surgery! “If You Would Like The Most Thorough Carpal Tunnel Exam (That You Have Ever Had) -- Then Read On”... If you need a second opinion, this is a great first opportunity for you to get an expert opinion on what you should do today for your condition -- an opinion from an experienced doctor who has been successfully treating carpal tunnel syndrome patients for the past 20 years without relying on drugs, needles, or surgery! Here’s some commonly asked questions... Q: “What If My Insurance Doesn’t Cover Your Care?” A: I make treatment affordable, I offer several attractive payment plans that allow almost every patient to receive care. If your insurance only covers a portion, I’ll make it easy for you to handle the balance. It’s almost never a problem, and believe it or not, we have patients in their early twenties who can easily afford my care...even the ones with a part-time jobs. But listen, this isn’t the purpose of the examination... once I find out what’s going on with you, I will discuss your treatment options...with no pressure! Q: “I Don’t Have Time To Get Treated --I’m Too Busy!” A: I know you are busy...we’re all busy. If you aren’t willing to take the time to handle your condition, then it’s best that you don’t waste your time in my office. Seriously, it’s never an issue of time...it’s really an issue of “priority”. My treatment sessions normally last 10 minutes or less, and you will seldom have to wait in my office. Q: “How Long Will It Take To Get Well?” A: It really depends on the severity of your condition. Some patients have mild problems and may get relief in 1 to 4 weeks. Others may take longer. After your evaluation, I will let you know how severe your problem is, and about how long it will take to correct your problem. Then, you can decide if you want my care, or not. It’s totally up to you...again, no pressure! Q: “What Does My Neck Have To Do With My Symptoms?” A: To review, misalignments in the neck (caused by years of poor posture or prior trauma) can “crush” the nerves that travel to the hand...making the person more susceptible to hand symptoms...such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness of grip. “OK, I want to find out more about my symptoms....What do I do next?” When you discovered this web site, that showed me that you have some serious concerns about your hand and wrist symptoms. You are congratulated for taking this step. Some people, believe it or not, try to get by in life with their symptoms and take no action until their hands are about ready to fall off. At this point, their chances of recovery are very slim. If you are ready for a change ...and...would like to find out if your problem can be helped without surgery -- please read on...

Special Bonus Section (Just Added) For Anyone Suffering From Hand & Wrist Pain Due To Their Job If you believe that your condition was caused by (or occurred) on the job, or if your job aggravates a pre-existing condition (whether you were aware of it or not), you may be entitled to Workers Compensation benefits which pay 100% of your treatment. There are 3 types of work injuries: 1) Time & Place Injury. For example: A brick falls on you foot at work, fracturing it, on 05-21-04, at 8:32 a.m. Or, you hurt your low back lifting a box at work, on 06-22-04, at 4:13 p.m. 2) Cumulative Trauma Disorder. These injuries occur over time, usually from repetitive motions such as typing or working with a computer mouse. The symptoms develop gradually over time, going from occasional to intermittent...often becoming constant. The intensity level of the pain can also increase over time as the problem develops. These types of injuries are often referred to as repetitive stress injuries. And your employer may not want you to know that this is covered by Workers Compensation benefits. 3) Aggravation of a pre-existing condition. If you have a pre-existing condition that is aggravated by your work, you are entitled to Workers Compensation benefits in many cases. As an example, you have a bulging disc in your neck that you had before you started your present job, and it flares up because of your work duties. You may be entitled to Workers Compensation benefits for treatment which brings you back to your condition prior to the work injury (pre-injury status). If your employer hired you “as is”... the fact that you had this condition when you were hired does not effect your eligibility to get your treatment covered at my office. Again, your employer will not tell you about this either! And... Your Treatment At My Office May Be Covered 100% By Workers Compensation Insurance! If you feel that you have been injured on the job, please call my office at (262) 534-3767 today, or toll free at 1-800-359-3765, to schedule your appointment. Either way, please call my office today to get your carpal tunnel examination and evaluation! I want to use the next page (or two) of this report to have a talk from the heart... My name is Dr. Greg Nielsen. My office is located at 505 Aber Drive in Waterford, WI. It’s near the old Sentry Food Store, just behind the 76 Gas Station. And I have the friendliest staff in town. I’ve been at this location for 20 years. And during this time, I’ve seen some of the most insane treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome known to man. My favorite “insane” treatment is when a worker is injured on the job by repetitive arm, hand, and wrist motions. This person gets wrist surgery, and is out of work for about 6 weeks...and then is returned to the same job that caused the original problem! Do you think that 6 weeks off from a job like this...without the surgery... just might...allow anyone to heal? (I wonder why they just don’t give them 6 weeks off... and skip the painful surgery). Anyway... Another thing I see is the “let’s add this” treatment. Here’s how it goes: A lady is working as a checker at a local grocery store. She has to lift bags of charcoal, 12-packs of beer and soda, sacks of potatoes, and gallon bottles of milk...repetitively. She goes to her doctor and he gives her a splint for her wrist. That doesn’t work, so he gives her this “thing” to wear on her elbow. That doesn’t work, so he has her wear a sling. That doesn’t work, so he gives her pain killers, and now she is sleepy at work. Wonderful. That doesn’t work, so she gets “the necessary surgery”. And, of course, she returns to the same job. Did you know that some people receive several surgeries on each wrist? Sometimes, I wonder if it would just be easier to find another job...rather then go through all this “treatment”. My treatment may not be the answer for your condition. But, I’ve been able to help 8 out of 10 people who try treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome at my office. There are always those two people who don’t respond. Oh, well...at least they tried. However, what if you are one of the 8 who does respond... without drugs, needles, or surgery? Call my office today at (262) 534-3767, or toll free at 1-800-359-3765. It’s easy to make an appointment.
