How to Get Natural Carpal Tunnel Relief in 24 Hours | Dr. Josh Axe

How to Get Natural Carpel Tunnel Relief in 24 Hours: bit.ly/2FYIB8f
In today’s video I’m going to share with you the top natural carpal tunnel treatments and ways to get relief in 24 hours.
Carpal tunnel is caused by poor posture and overuse. When you’re sitting at your desk, you may want to stop overextending your wrist or keep it from staying in one position too long. Raising your desk or computer keyboard can help ease the pain of carpal tunnel. I would also recommend going to see a chiropractor to work on your injured area to remove pressure on the nerve. Another treatment you can use is to traction out your own wrist with traction exercises.
To get relief from carpal tunnel in 24 hours you need to start taking some quality natural supplements like vitamin B6 and vitamin B12, which are the most effective vitamins in supporting your nervous tissue.
Next, you want to take magnesium to relax your blood tissue and vessels in that area (250mg 2x daily). Additionally, you want to take natural anti-inflammatory supplements like bromelain, turmeric, boswellia, and ginger. In terms of diet, you want to follow an anti-inflammatory diet, which is high in organic fruits, vegetables, and omega 3 fatty acids.
Lastly, for carpal tunnel relief, you want to use wintergreen and cyprus essential oils to cool the area and increase circulation. Following these natural treatments should help you get rid of your carpal tunnel fast!

I had carpel tunnel and my hands were numb and I thought my fingers were going to die from lack of blood flow and fall off. It is so painful, I can see why people run to the surgeons. I cried for days and didn't use my hands. God healed me without surgery. Thank you Jesus. I haven't had carpel tunnel since. I did take a chance on not having emergency surgery, though, thank God He was on time! Thanks for sharing your ideas about natural healing.

[@Sebastian-mh5ob]

Can you please pray for me? I'm a 14 year old boy who uses the pc a lot but i learned a big lesson.

[@ksspell]

It is close to 2 am here and I prayed for you. It is also important for you to let your parents know all that you are feeling. Ask the elders of your church to pray a prayer of faith and healing for you. Have your doctor check out your progress in healing and this video has some good advice. Maybe you could get a computer that you could talk to and save yourself alot of pain. Keep the faith!

[@JesusSavesGODWINS]

Braces are NOT ineffective, they are used to keep the wrist and a possition for optimum blood flow and reduced pressure. They serve a specific purpose. Thanks for the vid.

[@cellogirl11rw55]

For me, my CTS was caused by using incorrect left-hand posture when playing my cello, and a pinched nerve in my neck, which was aggravated by a hard fall. The morning after the fall, my left hand was really swollen, and I could not move my thumb, index, middle, or ring finger at all. So, I went to my doctor, who referred me to a physical therapist, massage therapist, and chiropractor. She also recommended using a brace, ice, and capzacin to bring down the pain and swelling. This helped tremendously, and, within about two months, I recovered completely without surgery.

[@joyceflorida7111]

Thank you Dr. Axe. I have been suffering with this for 2 years after falling off a porch delivering oxygen. Even holding a cup of coffee was painful Lifting tanks, using the computer without a wrist bean bag for the mouse, aggravated the numbness. Seven of my patients that saw the wrist splint I wore said they had surgery and strongly recommended not having the surgery because the adhesion put even more pressure on the nerve. The damage was worse post op and now permanent. I added this regimine you have given me here, to my yoga exercises and it has alleviated the pain. However, I have since retired from my job and must stop using the mouse.

[@IS-om4yv]

I am suffering from the same but I am taking Ayurvedic treatment that helped me a lot from last 3 months recovering fast.There is no allopathic treatment for nerve damage only Ancient Ayurveda can help

[@cindy2490]

I've been suffering with swelling, weakness, stiffing, and inflammation of my hands, wrist, arms and at times shoulders. Unsure if it is arthritis, carpal tunnel, and the like. I'm over weight, but will try your suggestions and pray for relief. I want to avoid surgery and medications as much as possible.

[@mrlafayette1964]

cindy2490 I notice you didn't mention knee pain,sounds like your weight isn't causing it.For me whats made the difference is bodybuilding, the exercises for my forearms really seems to help, I ve changed my diet too, cut out sugar and salt intake is much lower..it was hard at first but I'm so glad I did it..best wishes

[@susunque2245]

unbelievable to see all the rude comments being made to a guy who takes his quality time to help people suffering!! I follow you Dr Axe & I applaud 5 (& your wife) for all your informative & helpful advice!!! I can say this since I have experienced some improvement by following your helpful advice on numerous issues!!! btw.YOU are also the reason I use essential oils!!! kudos to you Dr Axe!!! May God continue to Bless you and your kind heart!!! #yesImafan!

[@daneeehhhh]

He deserves the comments because his video is misleading, not only the title is fake but also he gets cents from every person who views the video. This video has 421000+ views. He recommends essential oils, ok, thanks, still the reason people came to this video is a lie, don't you get it?

[@philliesomasound]

While the title is far to bold of a claim and not true, I have already been using Turmeric for over a year and it has been better than anything any doctor has to offer, and best part, its safe natural and dirt cheap! He definitely is not making money sponsoring Turmeric root and Bromelain (found in pineapples).. try some of what he says and see for yourself :) (I'm not claiming every suggestion he made is concrete but hes def trying to help)

[@dannybex]

Susan dear, if there was a 'god', we wouldn't need doctors. And the reason people are upset, is because Axe is claiming that his tips will help people get rid of carpal tunnel in TWENTY FOUR HOURS. Did you notice if ANYONE here has been able to get that relief? I didn't, because it's not possible.

[@twobeeencouraged6284]

I also have carpal tunnel, and only as a last resort shall I have surgery. Thank you Dr. Axe, many of us appreciate you!

[@tommythompson583]

You must use good quality supplements if you expect results. I use to be a bodybuilder & I would get sticking points. Arnold Schwarzenegger said to get Aregintina Beef Liver Tablets & I did. It worked very well. The way our foods are processed is what's causing our problem. Doctors know but there is no money in nutrition. That's what doctors are taught. My doctor told me that yesterday.

[@InsaneChef]

i had numbness, burning, weakness in all my hand both sides and my wrist and elbow. i did some carpal tunnel stretches which helped. the biggest thing was posture though. i kept my back to the back of my chair, pulled my shoulders back and kept my head straight. also i did neck exercises and wrist exercises. now i feel way better! posture was such a huge thing for me, not everyone obviously but check it out.

[@bmp713]

It is great hearing you found successful treatments to improve your symptoms. Which type of stretches and exercises for you wrists and other parts of your arms helped the most to improve the numbness?

[@tommythompson583]

I definitely believe in a chiropractor. I went yesterday and got rid of about 1/2 my pain. But not all chiropractor are good. Just like doctors that walk out on you while you are trying to explain.

[@jesusisgodcatlynn9144]

All I did was sleep on my bunkbed & I woke Up with this pain it's affecting my life daily activities. I've had it for months now.

When you get a chance can you do tennis elbow as well? Thank you for all your information. I've been eating healthier and using essential oils. I'm so glad that my amazing chiropractor Dr Brian Bartholomew suggested I follow you. You've taught me so much. I've also been able to help several family members and friends by referring them to your site. Thank you again for helping me become a healthier person.

[@aha8358]

Thank you!!! I just knew this had to be food related to what I was eating or not eating because the pain and numbness will come and go....despite my normal daily activity would stay the same...... but yet the pain at Night comes and goes.... so I figured it had to be something with my diet. So I'm going to add fish oil, magnesium , bromelain and get back to drinking ginger and turmeric tea ( which I used to do!!) and also I'm going to try holding onto a weight for wrist traction what a great idea thank you so much.

[@goefarmer9069]

I use those extra thick rubber bands from produce section. It works on tennis elbow and wrist, carpel tunnel. fast relief. It gives compression, adjust as needed

[@benbmusic88]

My carpal tunnel comes from guitar playing. I've been able to improve it by removing tension and having better posture and positions. But I still get issues when I'm practicing technique for 2-3 hours as well as working on other things. The technique practice usually involves playing the same kind of line over and over. Starting very slow with a metronome and gradually bringing the speed up over the course of 2-3 hours. By the end, it involves a lot of endurance to keep the speed up. Doesn't help that I have a desk job too. I'll apply your desk job tips right away.

[@benbmusic88]

+benbmusic88 I also eat extremely healthy. Lots of greens like kale and spinach, lots of fruits, veggies, and whole grains as well as organic B12 spray and vitamin D.

[@benbmusic88]

+benbmusic88 Oh and I eat tumeric, and ground flax seeds everyday too.

[@benbmusic88]

+benbmusic88 I had to take a 3 day break this week from guitar. Which helps but I can still feel some of the nerve pain when I do certain things.

[@1GuitarHack]

+benbmusic88 Was hoping i could ask a a question,,,i just started getting this,,,, in the last week or so just came on one night while playing my guitar,i also find that when it starts to hurt,it effects my shoulder as well and my neck,,,,,does this happen to you,or anyone else?

[@benbmusic88]

+Canadian Guitar Hack yea. I've gone back to sitting in the classical position with a foot stool so that my body is straight. I also incorporated a message and stretching routine that helps a lot. I can share the playlist with you.

[@jraelien5798]

I took all those supplements for years. YEARS! NOTHING. My carpal tunnel got so severe I finally had surgery. BAM! FIXED. Recovery time is a week now. Wish I had done this years ago.

[@huntswoman]

Joshua Eckhardt ~ Yep... Me, as well!!!

[@DieNowZombies]

ive read alot of people who get the surgery not only have returning symptoms within 2 years but it gets worse because of scar tissue and stuff when did you get surgery?

[@martinad7149]

I got surgery this summer on my left hand (btw I have carpal tunnel in both hands) I thought it disappeared but now (it was done on June) symptoms started to reappear already and my recovery time was 3 weeks ( for me 3 weeks without work are a big loss of money) plus it took around 3 more week to be able to use it again properly.

[@joyceflorida7111]

This does not work for everyone. Sometimes the adhesions grow back thicker and put more pressure on the nerves. People don't stop the cause of it, so the healing never gets better.

I do not have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, however I do have Trigger Finger (plural all 4 fingers in my left hand even though I am right handed.) I know that Carpal Tunnel syndrome is related to posture and to an issue with the neck, so yes see a chiropractor. I have been able to release my trigger finger however it sadly returns every night so every morning I have to do the same exercises by massaging pushing really hard down my left forearm with my right hand knuckles, it releases it very quickly I just wish it would leave permanently. I use essential oils also especially wintergreen with Coconut oil. I use this also when I used to have osteoarthritis. Making your Bone Broth helped me reverse my Fibromyalgia after suffering for 27 years, and of course taking out inflammatory foods, including gluten etc. Thank you

[@taramceown2919]

Thank you for this great video. Massage is also a great treatment for Carpal tunnel syndrome. Also stretching in wrist extension can lengthen the muscles at the wrist that are causing nerve compression. I recommend it. Being fat or obesity predisposing you to developing carpal tunnel syndrome as well. So better to eat a healthy diet to help prevent discomfort and disease in the body. I cant believe some of the rude and childish comments! As a healthcare professional, I think this video about complementary treatments is very helpful.

[@Madaket78]

1 - Nothing causes "carpal tunnel" ... everyone has two carpal tunnels, one in each wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome, on the other hand, is the condition he's actually talking about. 2 - Stretching, traction, bracing, etc. are all good preventive steps one can take, but are actually limited in usefulness after the tendons have already been damaged due to RSI (repetitive stress injury). Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a secondary symptomatic effect; the primary problem is actually tendon damage/inflammation and/or thickening. In most cases, stretching an already damaged tendon can lead to further damage, and in the case of tendonosis, can actually lead to rupture. 3 - While it's true that vitamins (in particular B6 and B12) are good for treating nerve damage from compression, this notion that taking such vitamins will "cure" carpal tunnel syndrome in 24 hours is pure nonsense. 4 - Anti-inflammatory substances usually do not help Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at all due to the fact that carpal tunnel syndrome is an RSI; unless you deal with the root cause of the inflammation, no amount of anti-inflammatory substances will help. Again, CTS is caused by tendon damage and/or tendon RSI, which means you need to address the underlying cause of the inflammation, not the inflammation itself. And in many cases, it's not even inflammation but a thickening of the tendons due to tendonosis, which can only be healed over time, with deep tissue release therapy and a re-alignment of the tendon tissues using balanced-load flexion. In other words, you have to rebuild and re-strengthen the tendons; this can take up to two years. (The main reason most physicians erroneously recommend surgery; the "quick fix" mentality of western medicine is appalling.) 5 - No mention at all of muscle adhesions that occur in the anterior forearm. These are a common cause of CTS, especially for computer users/gamers, etc., and unless they are worked out/released, the median nerve cannot achieve decompression. Sorry, but this notion that a bio-mechanical adhesion can be "cured" with supplements is beyond laughable. Clearly, this is a promotional video, for Dr. Axe supplements, and not a whole lot more. Having had carpal tunnel syndrome for some time--and having tried these supplements in the past--I can say, with conviction, that, while it may sound like a magical "cure", it simply isn't. The only thing that cured my CTS was first understanding that I was dealing with a tendon issue/damage. Working with a chiropractor put me on the right path to recovery, but it takes a very long time to "cure" CTS, simply because tendons, by their nature, take several weeks, to several months (if not years, in the case of re-maturation of mis-aligned tendon fibers) to heal.

Have had problems with cts and waited six months for op on NHS. finally got the date of op and realized I had in fact nursed my condition almost back to normal. I am playing lead guitar on some very demanding stuff etc. So I think it can result in getting most of your general use back without surgery. I think surgery is a last resort.

What's with all the negativity in the comments? Herbalism works with much less side effects as Pharmaceuticals.

Surgery is ineffective at best. Hmmm. I had severe carpal tunnel and spent a fortune on a chiropractor who neither diagnosed me correctly nor was able to relieve my symptoms even a little bit. I've since had surgery and it's gone so surgery is ineffective at best. There really is a lot of rubbish on the internet!

[@deanhuman89]

Hi Emma, how long after surgery do you start to feel normal again? I.e push ups; stretching hand without pain etc? .

[@TheEmmasegura]

Hi Dean, I am now six months post second op and my hand is 100% again. I think I could do all those things about 2 months after but I still had tenderness around the scar. How long post op are you?

[@ironheadspokane]

You say surgery is ineffective at bet but then say it cured your CT? Perhaps you don't understand what "Ineffective at best" means?

[@joyceflorida7111]

Everyone is different, I had 7 people tell me the carpal tunnel was worse after surgery due to the adhesions and obesity.

[@walmarthoodies9647]

In truth, a chiropractor is likely the only person who can help someone with carpal tunnel syndrome, unless the nerve compression is being caused by a more nefarious problem (like a tumor in the carpal tunnel, excessive trauma, etc.) I, too, was a skeptic when it came to seeing a chiropractor. But, at the urging of my wife, and after having suffered with CTS for nearly a year, I finally did so (what could it hurt, right?) I can say, with absolute conviction, that it was the best thing I ever did with regard to my CTS. The chiropractor worked out all of the muscle adhesions in my forearm, stretched and increased the range of motion in my arm, neck, and chest area, and worked to massage and stimulate vascularity back into my tendons. After the first treatment, my median nerve was decompressed, which allowed for regeneration of nerve/sensation in my fingers, and subsequent treatments released and strengthened my tendons (the real, underlying cause of CTS). It took a while, but it worked. Chiropractors get a bad rap--I, too, used to ridicule people who sweared by them--but, when it comes to bio-mechanical repetitive stress injuries (which is what CTS really is), you can't get better help. Physicians just want to due surgery, because the notion that something can be cured, over time, with wrist adjustments, stretching, deep-tissue massage, etc. just goes against everything they've learned. My PCP wanted to due surgery the second he diagnosed my CTS .... which is just ridiculous--especially when you learn that the release surgery is really just a "work around", and doesn't address the underlying problems that caused the CTS in the first place. PCP's are misleading in that they will say , "It's inflammation, caused by overuse" ... but, when asked why it can't be treated, they have no answer. "Just get the surgery", they'll say, "You'll feel better"--as if that's an answer. Of course, they don't tell you that you will likely lose hand strength due to losing your transverse carpal ligament.

Ok,im sure this should help.My hand has started aching this morning.I do use a mouse quite frequently.I've been looking for treatments.I hope I can rely on you Dr.Josh!!!

[@Sprayfaint]

Does it bother anyone that he keeps talking about carpal tunnel syndrome but just says carpal tunnel? Everyone has a carpal tunnel. We have two! The issue is carpal tunnel syndrome and it's the lack of proper understanding of this pathology that perpetuates it as a high profile condition. The misunderstanding leads people to self diagnose without actually knowing what other conditions could be present and in turn wind up trying treatments for something they don't have and ending up unhappy and still in pain and feeling hopeless. Drive me bonkers!

What utter bollocks. I think you're mixing up your body building regime and diet with genuine medical problems.

Dr Axe. Can you tell me what dosage you recommend for b6 and b12? You recommended dosage for magnesium but what about b6 and b12?

[@philoskitchen]

Great information very useful Excellent 👍

[@stepitupmorons8704]

[@claudettedsouza7836]

Hello Dr. Josh. Is the treatment for Carpal Tunnel the same as Tendonitis? Please advice. Because I am having severe pain in my lower arm.

[@jimyost2585]

B6 has to be accompanied by half the amount of vitamin B2 in order to be converted to the coenzyme form in order to be effective in the human body. I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my left wrist and I know from experience that if I take 100 mg. of B6 with 50 mg. of B2 every day for a few days in a row the symptoms subside. I try to remember to take the B6 and B2 at least once or twice a week. As long as I do that I almost never have flare-ups of the carpal tunnel symptoms.

[@emjeecee7220]

Thank You for the tips Dr. Josh Axe :-)

[@thaliarose8741]

Hi dear Dr. Axe, Merry Christmas and New year. I have carpal tunnel and it's very annoying at sleeping time, now I like baking and playing piano, do I have to get some rest from those activities?

Hi Dr. Axe. What do I do if I have CRPS1. Want to get my hand as flexible as possible.

[@equatebond2809]

Chiropractors aren't physicians, but I'm willing to try them as well as massage, acupressure, magnets and even acupuncture. My fingers up to my wrists, plus my left elbow (I'm a lefty.) tingle and are numb...since August.
