A SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME: No Drugs, No Surgery, No Physiotherapy
By Christine Wheeler, MA

Why do some people who work long hours at a keyboard (or other repetitive activity) suffer from the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) while others escape it completely?

According to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) theory, people working in repetitive stress industries are more at risk for developing carpal tunnel syndrome if they have unresolved negative emotions or energetic imbalances in their body.

This is not a theory you will find in medical books, but an increasing number of health professionals are acknowledging the link between chronic pain and unresolved emotions. With correct application of EFT, 80% of CTS sufferers achieve impressive relief.

This is life altering news to people with this type of chronic pain, but who still have to work at their injurious jobs. EFT frequently diminishes, or eliminates the chronic pain, tingling, numbness and burning associated with CTS, sometimes in as little as 3 minutes.

Gary Craig developed EFT more than a decade ago to improve and accelerate the psychotherapy process. As people addressed their emotional issues with EFT, they reported that their physical symptoms, including chronic pain and CTS, also diminished.

Dr. Eric Robins uses EFT in his medical practice and says, “At least 85% of medical problems are physical manifestations of how stress/anxiety/past traumas are held in and processed by the body. The best technique to address these issues and to clear them out of the body is EFT.”

Dr. Robins recommends that anybody dealing with a physical issue ask themselves, “a) what unresolved issues exist in my life that may be contributing to this condition; and b) what kinds of things am I stressing myself out over.” These questions are a great starting point for conducting your own EFT session for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Anyone can learn EFT and self apply it. While focusing on the unresolved issues you have identified, you simply use your fingertips to tap on certain release points. This process balances the energy meridian system (Chi or Qi) and resolves emotional traumas, stress and anxiety. Without the emotional fuel, the painful symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome tend to fade.

8 years of suffering with carpal tunnel syndrome ended in 10 minutes of EFT

For about 8 years, Mary Kuriger suffered with carpal tunnel syndrome and spent a small fortune on chiropractic and physical therapy treatments. While she did believe that these treatments had helped her to avert surgery for her severe case of carpal tunnel syndrome, she was still plagued with the chronic pain.

Mary heard that EFT often works where nothing else will and, since nothing else had worked, she found an EFT practitioner to work with her on this painful and debilitating problem. Interestingly, she had resigned herself to living with this pain for the rest of her life so she certainly didn’t expect to have complete relief in just 10 minutes! After EFT, the pain was completely gone. And it never returned.

Mary remarked, “I had absolutely no pain! I couldn’t believe it! I kept mentally searching throughout my body for the pain. It just wasn’t there!” This startling result is quite common for people using EFT to heal any issue – physical or emotional.

Mary was so inspired by the quick relief rendered by EFT for her physical pain that she turned her attention to a deep-rooted emotional grief that she had been carrying around since her sister’s passing in 1989. Mary reported, “Within minutes, I felt the weight lift from me. I have been able to remember my sister fondly and nostalgically but with no pain of grief ever since!”

Be assured that you can use EFT on any kind of physical or emotional pain and the process is the same no matter what the condition. There are no side effects and you can do this gentle technique by yourself.
