Robert's Carpal Tunnel Success

“I suffered with pain in my right wrist for years.  It was so bad that I couldn’t do garden work, i.e. raking, shoveling and pulling of weeds.  I was introduced to Dynasplint the summer of 2003.  I would wear it for several minutes each day for 1 month.  After 1 week of therapy I had noticed a drastic difference.  After two week (weeks) of treatment with Dynasplint, I had no more pain.  I now am able to do all the gardening and lifting that I couldn’t do before.  Dynasplint gave me use of the right hand again.”

“I was referred to Meharry Physical Therapy after having had bilateral carpal tunnel surgery.  Even though I had the surgery I was still experiencing severe pain and weakness in my hands.  Also, I was I unable to hold items in my hand.  I had several weeks of physical therapy with Mr. Meharry, during that time he used the Carpal Tunnel Device (Carpal Tunnel Dynasplint^®) to stretch my hands.  I could tell the difference after the first time he used the device, my hands felt so much better.  I actually looked forward to my visits because my hands would feel so much better after he used the device to treat them.  After my therapy was over I had no more pain and I was able to lift items with my hands and have had no further treatments.  I told my physician of the great results I had with the device and suggested he refer other patients to Meharry Physical Therapy for treatment with the carpal tunnel device prior to surgery  I feel if I had I wouldn’t have had to under go (undergo) the surgery.  I tell everyone that I come in contact with that have problems with their hands about this device and suggest that they speak with their physician about therapy with Mr. Meharry so that they too can have the same chance at pain relief as I did using the carpal tunnel device.”

“Early spring of this year I had a few weeks of physical therapy. I am a part time Bookkeeper and a horse enthusiast and needed those hands and wrists!  The therapy was a big help—the exercises Mr. Meharry taught me to do @ home were helpful and the carpal tunnel stretch device helped in stretching as I relaxed.  He let me borrow it twice, once for a trip, once for a week @ home—[once he taught me to use it, I was almost perfect(?)] and the 10 minutes or so each day were very beneficial.  I enjoyed the stretch device and the good derived from it.  (I think it would be nice if one could be purchased for use @ home.)  Thanks.”

“Before I went to the Meharry Physical Therapy I couldn’t iron my clothes, hold a coffee cup well, push the buttons on my 3 ½ year old grandson’s car seat, play the piano for church, sew and type on my computer.  Writing this letter would have been very difficult.  I feel like a new person.  Thanks for giving me back the use of my hands.  My neurologist told me that I would have to have carpal tunnel surgery and that I would need it soon.  Well, I didn’t want surgery so I tried therapy instead and I am so glad that I did.  I can now do all of the things about.  I would highly recommend it to anyone over surgery.  Thanks to all of you. I now have my hands back.”
