Carpal Tunnel Syndrome happens for reasons. Discover tips to help you get rid of the reasons for your carpal tunnel syndrome. There are things we do, sometimes without even being aware, that cause symptoms. Let's figure out what they are are get rid of them. Then you will have carpal tunnel pain relief.

Carpal tunnel pain and symptoms always come from somewhere or something.  They don't happen without a reason.  All symptoms have a cause.  Poor posture is a chief cause of many pain symptoms including those in your hand, arm and wrist.

Today at http://www.CarpalTunnelRadio.com the conversation was about posture:  How do you know whether your posture is poor or good?  What can you do to correct poor posture?  How did you start to collapse?  Why does collapsed posture cause pain?  Why do your feet matter?

You used to have perfect posture and you can again! 

Your body is very smart and wants to be well.  It just needs a little help from you.  By educating yourself, you can discover what you need to do to get your straight, strong body back.

When you have a strong back, the short muscles in the front of your body won't always be able to win the tug-of-war and pull you forward.  When your posture is more upright, you will have less pain in your hand, wrists and arms (and all over, too.) 

A straight, strong body will give you carpal tunnel pain relief.

More talk about the benefits of good posture for carpal tunnel pain relief. We'll discuss natural cures, causes for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and how to get good posture.

There are many things to consider before you have surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.  Today on Carpal Tunnel Radio, we talked about the questions you might ask your surgeon before you make your decision.  Why?  Because an informed patient can make the best decision. 

Some of today's content came from TendonitisExpert.com.  He says the same things that I do:  You have a smart body capable of healing naturally.

There are many natural ways to help relieve Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  A syndrome is a collection of symptoms.  Symptoms have causes.  If you can figure out and get rid of the causes, your symptoms will go away. 

We also talked about stress.  Stress causes pain and pain causes stress.  There are many ways to lower your stress level.  Using humor, "inside jokes" (inside your own brain) and reframing the situation.  We can't change anyone else but we can change our response to situations.

Join us next week at http://www.CarpalTunnelRadio.com for more conversation about natural carpal tunnel pain relief.

This episode will cover natural help for carpal tunnel symptoms and other hand/wrist pain. We will also talk about carpal tunnel surgical release--what questions should you ask your doctor?

Today's topics at Carpal Tunnel Radio included surgery for carpal tunnel release.  We talked about how to know whether you should consider surgery, the causes of CTS, questions to ask your surgeon and natural help for CTS.

I also suggested another good place to get a lot of information about CTS all in one place:  http:www.squidoo.com/GTSOCTS  Bruce L. Bair is a Physician's Assistant who put this site together for his patients, but he said you all can use it, too.  Bruce has conventional medical information as well as alternative (natural) info.

Is it more beneficial to treat a symptom?  (Much of conventional medicine treats symptoms.)  Or is it better to get rid of the CAUSE of the symptom?  We talked about why some carpal tunnel surgeries are "unsuccessful."  (Because they didn't address the CAUSE.) 

We talked about what happens within about 2 years for about 1/2 of the successful surgeries.  The patients begin to have symptoms again.  Why?  Because the CAUSE wasn't addressed.

The best patient--the one most likely to get well--is the one who is most educated about their pain.  What are the causes?  What are the treatment options? 

Remember, the doctor or massage therapist is your service provider.  You pay him or her for their services, so you get to ask questions and have input. 

I love doctors and surgeons.  I believe they are terrifically talented.  But, sometimes surgery is not the answer.  Sometimes there are natural options which will help you avoid the pain of surgery and recuperation and possible side-effects.

There are reasons why you have CTS.  You can experience carpal tunnel pain relief by getting rid of the CAUSES.
