Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 It is basic first aid that inflammation is diminished/eradicated by cryotherapy. Rarely is inflammation a solitary situation. Its usually hand in hand with spasms. (Both could result in nerve impingement, thus the tingling sensation of incomplete signals.) If both are not properly addressed, the condition will persist. There are many therapies to address both of these issues besides drugs. Many without the side effects/toxicity of chemicals: -Neuromuscular therapy, -accupuncture, -range of motion stretches, -hot packs/cold packs, -ice massage, -poultices, -finger/hand exercises, -investing in proper health professionals (not only for intervention/treatment, but for instruction, as well.) are just some of the first things that come to mind. Goals/Benchmarks: Firstly, break the spasm/inflammation cycle. Secondly, reestablish range of motion Thirdly, increase strength/endurance to elevate the exhaustion ceiling of the hand & decrease the % of stress to the hand that it takes to do what you ask of it. Is this condition a result of overload/lack of maintenance or injury or both? -richard, l.m.t.- --- On Wed, 7/29/09, metrology_guy <metrology_guy wrote: I have inflammation in my right index and " finger " finger.
