What is
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? |
 |
 |
"...a condition caused by compression of a nerve where it
passes through the wrist into the hand and characterized
especially by weakness, pain, and disturbances of sensation
in the hand and fingers."At the base of the palm, just
above the carpal bones of the wrist, is a "sleeve" or
“tunnel” where the tendons and nerves from the arm pass
through to the hand and fingers. The nerve that passes
through this narrow tunnel is called the Median Nerve.
The tunnel between the forearm and hand is called “The
Carpal Tunnel”.
Pinching or compression of the Median nerve, sets into motion a
progressively crippling disorder that eventually results in wrist
pain, numbness and tingling in the hands.
I have had CTS for about 13 years,
and the big - bulky gloves, with the metal insert (to
keep your wrist straight)
became useless.
I was convinced that the only other option I had left
was surgery.
My husband came across your website
and ordered your open finger gloves for me.
I must admit
I thought it was VERY funny,
I mean...How in the world were these gloves supposed to work
without any support for my wrists?
The first night I wore them to sleep,
I had a hard time falling asleep because I just knew I
would start feeling the numbness and burning
in my fingers at any moment.
Besides, I have been wearing those "other" type of
gloves for about 10 years.
I am so amazed by your product.
I have had them for 3 days now.
I Love Them !!
I also LOVE the person/people who invented this product.
GOD BLESS YOU !!!
~ Most people have no idea what it feels like to have
your hands wake you up in the middle of the
night,
with burning (like you have your hand on a hot stove),
and you cannot do anything about it except stare at your
hands and fingers, and pray it goes away
so you could go back to sleep.
Again,
I LOVE you guys!!
Thank You - Thank You - Thank You !!!
I really don't quite understand how these gloves work ~
and I really don't care.
I just know they do work

Treating
Carpal Tunnel |
|
|
Basically, the idea is to reduce the inflammation, tingling,
numbness and pain. We recommend natural therapies, if at all
possible. Prolotex Open Finger Gloves are safe and
easy to wear, and can be used under your splint or brace, as
well as by themselves.
When comparing with treatments like Cortisone shots or
surgery, Prolotex
Open Finger Far Infrared Gloves offer
effective pain relief and healing by targeting the cause of
carpal tunnel syndrome, at the molecular level.

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you
for changing my life with your amazing
therapy gloves. I must admit that when I
first bought them I was slightly
skeptical as to whether they could
really make that much difference. But
after nearly 3 months of wearing them
every night, the difference is
incredible. I suffer from carpel tunnel
syndrome, as do my mum and sister.
My sister has already had to have both
her hands operated on to solve the
problem, and I was beginning to get to
the stage where I thought I would have
to have the same done. I would wake
nearly every night around 4.30 am
because the numbness and pain in the
hands/fingers would be unbearable by
then. The only way to get the feeling
back would be to get up and at that time
of the morning it would be difficult, so
I'd try to doze while all the time
trying to shake off the pain, so I'd be
tired most days through lack of sleep.
Eventually I'd have to get up to get
ready for work at 6.30 am and it would
usually take up to 20 mins for the
feeling to return in my hands, which was
also extremely painful as the feeling
come back. Trying to do anything when
you can't feel your hands is extremely
difficult, especially trying to make
sandwiches!!!
Now, my life is
completely transformed. I sleep right
through to my alarm clock, there is
almost no tingling in my fingers, hands,
no more swollen fingers when I get up,
no more numbness. I can feel again. It's
just so wonderful. I wanted to let you
know, so that you can maybe add this as
a testimony for other people who are
maybe not sure.
Once again, thank you and don't ever
stop making them.
