Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is compression of the median nerve (neuropathy) traveling through the carpal tunnel. The main symptom of CTS is intermittent numbness of the thumb, index, long and radial half of the ring finger. Long-standing CTS leads to permanent nerve damage with constant numbness, atrophy of some of the muscles of the thenar eminence, and weakness of palmar abduction. Read more ...

I have been a drywall hanger for over 20 years and my wrist has had better days. There were times I had to use sports tape for support. This did not solve the problem of the discomfort that was always present. I put the KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap
KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap along with PowerBand Wrist
Kenko PowerBand Wrist. Not only did the wrap support the wrist more than the sports tape but 75% to 80% of the sharp discomfort was gone.

My husband was diagnosed with 85% restriction in wrist/hand. The area of his thumb and index finger down to his wrist were numb. Doctors recommended surgery and sent him home in a brace. We put a Kenko PowerChip
Kenko PowerChip under the brace and in two days he the numbness started to subside. In two weeks he had feeling in 95%. From then on he interchangeably wore the KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap
KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap and PowerBand Wrist
Kenko PowerBand Wrist. Three months later he was tested and all restriction was gone. No surgery! He now wears PowerBand for maintenance.

I met a Wellness Consultant about 2.5 years ago during a Real Estate transaction. He was aware that I suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and De Quervain syndrome. I have seen numerous hand specialists, have had several rounds of physical therapy and wore a couple of different splints. It was recommended that I have surgery (something I'd like to avoid at all costs). I was recommended the KenkoTherm Wrist Wraps Wrist Wrap and Kenko PowerChip
Kenko PowerChip. I put off his suggestion for a couple of years, but finally gave in. I can't tell you exactly how quickly I started to feel relief from BOTH conditions but I can tell you it wasn't longer then a few days. Now, I'm NOT CURED OR HEALED by any means, but my level of discomfort has shot DOWN immensely!

My 82-year-old father just had carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) surgery. I asked him to try the magnets first, but he wouldn't listen and had the surgery. There were about 18 stitches from the middle of his hand down through his wrist. As soon as he came home from the hospital, I put a Kenko PowerChip
Kenko PowerChip on each side of his wrist, under the brace, and turned the PowerMag
Biaxial PowerMag on. He kept using the PowerMag off and on every day.

The surgery was on a Wednesday; he was supposed to go back to the doctors in two weeks to have the brace, sling and stitches removed. Four days later he took off the brace and sling, and then drove himself to church (wasn't supposed to drive until after he saw the doctor). Nine days later he drove himself to the doctor who laughed at the idea that he had used magnets. But then he found out that my father had not taken one pain pill (he was given 90) and that the wound healed nicely in nine days (instead of a month given by doc).

I had carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) surgery on my left wrist before I had even heard of Nikken products and it was very successful. I now have CTS in my right hand and the PowerBand Wrist
Kenko PowerBand Wrist, CM Complex Cream
CM Complex Skin Cream, Kenko PowerChip
Kenko PowerChip and KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap
KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap at night to immobilize it at night and this has kept me from having surgery. I get along fine day and night now. No progression of the CTS only regression of the symptoms.

I had carpal tunnel syndrome and I used to wake up because of the pain. I was scheduled for an operation. I started using the PowerBand Wrist
Kenko PowerBand Wrist - and wow - no pain any more.

I meet this person who told me he could not sleep more than two hours a night because of the discomfort in both of his wrist. He was nodding off at work when he would stop for a break or lunch. He bought two KenkoTherm Wrist Wraps Wrist Wrap and said he first night wearing them he slept better than he could remember and after a week he told me his wrists did not hurt anymore. I love sharing these products. They work!

Tracy

I have a friend that was scheduled for surgery and was wearing wrist splints that completely covered her hands while trying to work. I talked her into using the KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap
KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap while she filed and typed. I was leaving on a trip, and told her to use them daily until I got back.

Three weeks later I stopped in at her office and apologized for not getting back sooner. She said, "If you had come after them last week, I would have given them back and said they didn't help, but this week I have no pain and complete mobility. Please let me keep them and I will pay to replace them.” That was two years ago, she has not had the surgery, wears the wrist wraps and has no problems anymore.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in both wrists. I have found the Kenko PowerChip
Kenko PowerChip alleviates the discomfort, pain and numbness. I wrap my wrists with a tensor wrap and slip the Minis under the wrap against my skin. I leave them on until I feel relief which is usually between 12 to 24 hours. I am very active in home repairs using an assortment of power tools and I also play a lot of golf and play the piano, so it is important that I am pain free. This also allows me to get a proper night’s sleep.

I have had wonderful results by wearing KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap
KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap at night. My arm used to go numb at night from hand to elbow or above, and kept me from getting good sleep. Now it is very rare for me to be bothered, even though I am on the computer all day long. I also have a customer who was scheduled for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) surgery, bought a Elastomag wrap and has not had a problem since!

Lucy

I have a friend that had intense carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and has done very well with the CM Complex Cream
CM Complex Skin Cream (a must) and a KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap
KenkoTherm Wrist Wrap with a Kenko PowerChip
Kenko PowerChip placed under the wrap. It should be worn 24/7 until the discomfort subsides. In addition, a PowerBand Wrist
Kenko PowerBand Wrist has been purchased so that the other items don't have to be worn. She wears it 24/7 and is doing great!
