Carpal Tunnel Syndrome has become the Number One industrial problem affecting workers productivity in the 1990's. Up until now, we have been faced with limited and outdated technology.
Restrictive bracing doesn't work. Prolonged immobilization of the wrist results in adhesions developing. If you don't move it, you lose it. Not to mention, no mobility means no job.
Elastic bandages don't work. By squeezing the bone structure together and putting pressure on an already irritated area, the condition may actually worsen.
Surgery doesn't work. By cutting the ligament, the tunnel does get bigger. But when the patient goes back to the old repetitive job, CTS can develop all over again, often worse than ever.
In all three approaches mentioned above, all of the principles of state-of-the-art thinking with regards to tissue rehabilitation have been thrown away. You need a functional approach to wrist-related problems.
What I sought to develop was a supportive device that would allow the mobility necessary for soft tissue healing, prevent compression of an already swollen area, and enable the patient to stay on his or her job while maintaining full use of the wrist and fingers without pain.
After eight years of research, I had found it:
The M BRACE Radi-ul Carpression Angle
Have you ever noticed that sometimes the most complex clinical problems you face can be treated with a basic fundamental approach?
The M BRACE Radi-ul Carpression Angle is simple. Support the normal structure and let the body heal itself. We've stripped away all the cumbersome, medieval excesses of traditional braces and reduced our brace to one that supports the carpal tunnel without debilitating constriction and immobilization.
The M BRACE RCA allows for normal patient activity to continue without the burden of pain. This means healing actually takes place even while the patient continues to engage in the work or sports activities that may have caused CTS in the first place.
The M BRACE RCA maintains the normal U-shape of the carpal tunnel without compressing it, so nerve irritation is minimized and healing
The M BRACE RCA is also effective in preventing structural fatigue which results in CTS.
Close to 10,000 M BRACE RCAs have been prescribed by Doctors of Chiropractic nationwide over the past five years as an aid in the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome...and the number of repeat orders are a testament to its effectiveness.
