Jim, Just a note and a question. Have you tried a chiropractor before?
The only reason I ask is that we had a local chiropractor come to one of our
piano teacher meetings. She said that she is often able to help people with
carpal tunnel syndrome. She also said that the local surgeons have never
been very appreciative when one of her patients cancels carpal tunnel
surgery in favor of the chiropractic treatment. Christy
