Liberating Relief from Aching,
Stiff or Injured Hands
If you suffer from the pain and frustration of aching hands caused by arthritis, tendon trouble, “pinched” nerves, or injuries, Harvard doctors have great news for you.
Today, more options than ever are now available to you to help ease your pain, strengthen your hands, and help you to once again enable you to do the things you used to take for granted.
Thanks to the strategies and treatments revealed in Harvard’s Healthy Hands Special Report, thousands of men and women have received a new lease on life, free of the limitations that once robbed them of their freedom to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. For example...
“This has been life changing for me.” Stephen had been an active, lifelong athlete when at age 72, arthritis of his thumb made him unable to ride a bike or swing a hammer without pain — let alone pay his beloved softball. But after undergoing a fairly new surgical procedure recommended by his doctor (see page 19), he declared “my grip strength is back and I can throw the ball as hard as I used to!”
“I don’t wake up with numbness, and I can use the keyboard, hold my phone, grip the steering wheel, and get back to my crafts.” Carrie, a 46-year-old physician assistant, could no longer reliably hold medical instruments due to her carpal tunnel syndrome. After the having the procedure described on page 33, she exclaimed “At my two-week check, I had a full range of motion, so I didn’t need hand therapy.”
“It’s been a dramatic improvement. I now have full mobility in all my fingers on both hands...” Scott, now 70, was no stranger to painful hand injuries — but it was the worsening curling of the fingers of both of his hands from Dupuytren’s disease that had him looking for help. Cortisone shots worked for a while, but it was the surgery described on page 29 that provided lasting relief.
