Medically, the recommendation is surgery to loosen the flexor retinaculum in the wrist. The problem with this approach is, the source of the problem maybe coming from the neck. Chiropractic would adjust the wrist, the entire upper extremity, and the neck. Also utilize physical therapy modalities to reduce inflammation and pain.
Depending on the symptoms, treatment options are watchful waiting, activity modification, braces at night, oral medications, hand therapy, and, finally, surgical release.
