Homeopathy
In homeopathy, there are many different remedies that can be used for carpal tunnel syndrome.The appropriate remedies are selected by an experienced specialist, as they must fit the patient’s symptoms exactly. Remedies that have proven to be particularly effective are, for example Arnica montana for dull pain and injury of tendons and ligaments Rhus toxicodendron and Ruta graveolens also, if tendons and ligaments are involved and injured in carpal tunnel syndrome Hedera helix for pain and numbness that worsens especially at night Secale cornutum, if the pain has a rather burning character and the hands look white-blue Hypericum for pain resulting from nerve contusions or other nerve injuries Traumeel, a combination of different medicinal plants against swelling, pain and bruising Of course there are many more very specific homeopathics, but they would go beyond the scope of this article. The remedies can be taken in different dosage forms. For example, there are often the small globules (small balls), tablets for the elderly (as these are easier to handle), drops or homeopathic ointments.

OP
If conservative therapy does not bring success or if carpal tunnel syndrome recurs repeatedly, surgery is indicated. It is important to intervene so that the nerve is not irreversibly damaged. Nevertheless, surgery should only be considered as a last resort, as any intervention in the body can bring with it risks and complications.
Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery is a common and minor procedure. The superficial connective tissue ligament that borders the carpal tunnel is split with a small incision to give more space to the structures running in the canal. An operation is no guarantee of improvement, and complaints may recur subsequently. Research should be done to find a cause in the course of the nerves and their exit from the cervical spine.
