According to Dr. Sean Mahoney of Advanced Spine Disc Joint Center in Colchester and Waitsfield, Vermont, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome costs almost $30 billion annually in lost income and medical treatment and accounts for almost 60% of all work related injuries.
SHARP research for safe work found in a 1993-1994 study that the number of days lost from work due to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome averaged 138. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke calculated the lifetime cost of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to be $30,000 for each injured worker in 1998.
If you suffer from aching and pain in the hands and wrists, tingly and numb hands, and weakness and trouble holding objects, you might be suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
With more and more of our work being done sitting at a computer and less time spent being physically active, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is likely to affect us more as time goes on.
Dr. Mahoney'ss new comprehensive approach to treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome without surgery includes the use of the Erchonia Low Level Laser. For most wrist and hand pain sufferers, this
new non-invasive technique will reduce or eliminate pain tingling and weakness, and allow them to stay on the job or return to work.
This advanced technology being used at the Advanced Spine Disc Joint Center is already showing great promise as a way to cut skyrocketiing health care costs and get injured workers back
on the job. The Laser is FDA approved and has been used for over 25 years in Europe to treat injuries ranging from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome without surgery to sciatica and disc herniations.
