C-TRAC DEVICE
|
|
Have you been diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? This condition typically causes pain, weakness, numbness and tingling in the hands as a result of irritation of the median nerve at the wrist. CTRAC is a carpal ligament stretching device designed to open the carpal tunnel and provide more space for the median nerve. Taking the pressure off the nerve quickly decreases the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). This device is easy to use and very effective non-surgical treatment for CTS.

HOMEOPATHIC INJECTION THERAPY
Another solution for chronic muscle or joint pain is a homeopathic-complex remedy made from extracts of plants and minerals. These remedies have been shown to be very effective in relieving pain from multiple conditions without any long-term side effects. These injections are a good alternative for patients that can not tolerate steroids (cortisone) injections. They are typically performed in a series of 3-4 weekly treatments to provide long-term pain relief.

IMPLANTABLE DEVICES
|
|
Chronic pain can have devastating consequences if not properly treated. There are alternatives for patients who have not found a treatment to control their pain. One such treatment is a neurostimulator. This consists of a small device implanted under the skin. It works by sending mild electrical impulses to the epidural space near the spine. These impulses replace pain with a tingling sensation. It can relieve the pain from multiple peripheral nerve and spine conditions.
If you are not a candidate for a neurostimulator, a drug pump (intrathecal drug delivery systems) is another option. The pump delivers pain medication to the fluid-filled area surrounding the spinal cord (called the intrathecal space). Because pain medication goes directly to the pain receptors near the spine (instead of going through your circulatory system), a drug pump offers significant pain control using a small fraction of the dose that oral medication requires.
