Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 109 pp. Over 500,000 carpal tunnel surgeries are done annually in the United States, but 30% of patients will not improve as a result.

In this comprehensive guide to recognizing and treating these debilitating conditions, he takes a strong position against surgery and offers self-healing alternatives that have better results. From understanding the signs and symptoms at an early stage to modifying work and lifestyle, from proven alternative therapies and helpful medications to nutrition and exercise, this book provides authoritative advice and practical, up-to-date information to spare many patients the ordeal of surgery to treat their injuries.
