| This comprehensive guide probes
new treatment methods, products and research on
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Repetitive Stress
Injuries, conditions which affect workers across
all lines of work. Warning against the dangers of
unnecessary surgery, Tammy Crouch describes
alternative methods of treatment, including
biofeedback, acupuncture, Feldenkrais,
homeopathy, osteopathy, and massage. Thoughtful
interviews with a physical therapist, a
chiropractor, and an M.D. show how professionals
are thinking about these conditions today. Ms.
Crouch addresses ergonomics and helps workers
untangle disability insurance issues. Drawing
from 2000 patient surveys (response to the best
selling first edition of this book and lively
patient discussions on the Internet), Ms. Crouch
gives excerpts from these touching and sometimes
harrowing "reader stories."
A former Carpal Tunnel
Synrome patient herself from her work as a sign
language interpreter, Tammy Crouch
recovered the use of her hands after two failed
surgeries by learning about alternative
therapies. Ms. Crouch holds degrees in
Psychology, Sociology, and Human Resource
Management, and now conducts workshops and
seminars on overuse injuries in the workplace.
