Why Thermoflow?

Thermoflow’s revolutionary fabric has been shown to relieve pain reduce swelling and heal tissues. To reduce your chances of having to have a  carpal tunnel release  operation you will want to take advantage of the healing powers of FIR.  To target the complete area of your hand, wrist, and forearm afflicted by this debilitating occupational disease, we recommend the WRIST BAND and the 3/4 Finger Gloves in combination.

Most CTS braces, wraps, or gloves are designed to immobilize movement in the wrists, to keep from further compression the Median nerve.  Thermoflow’s Wrist Bands and Gloves work in an entirely different way.


ALARMING FACTS: Approximately 260,000 carpal tunnel release operations are performed each year, with 50% of the cases considered to be work related.-National Center for Health Statistics.

Thermoflow’s specially formulated material, safely and effectively emits and reflects far infrared rays deep into the entire area affected by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This treatment increases circulation at the molecular level, helping to deliver fresh nutrients and oxygenated blood to the arterioles (smallest blood arteries) that surround the Median nerve. Swelling and compression of the nerve is relieved allowing the healing process to begin. (see diagram below)

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Do you suffer from numbness or tingling in your hands?

Do you experience clumsiness when handling objects or feel a pain that shoots up through your arm all the way to your shoulder?

These may be the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

There is a nerve called the “Median nerve” that travels from your forearm into your hand and through a "tunnel" in your wrist. See diagram B.

The carpal tunnel is formed on the bottom and sides by your wrist bones, and covered on top by a strong band of connective tissue known as the “flexor retinaculum” or transverse carpal ligament.

Pinching or compression of the Median nerve sets into motion a progressively crippling disorder that eventually results in wrist pain, numbness and tingling in the hands.

What are the Symptoms of CTS? 

Often, the first symptoms of CTS start as painful tingling in one or both hands during the night. Are you routinely waking up to find your hands numb and in the fetal position?

Accompanying this is a feeling of uselessness in the fingers, which are sometimes described as feeling swollen, even though little or no swelling is apparent. As symptoms increase, tingling may develop during the day, commonly in the thumb, index, and ring fingers. A decreased ability and power to squeeze things may follow. 

How is CTS diagnosed? 

Your doctor may diagnose this condition by the following symptoms and signs: 

• Numbness and tingling in the hands; especially when prevalent at night and after repetitive use of the hands 
  

• Decreased feeling in your thumb, index, and long finger 
  

• A feeling of clumsiness and poor coordination and grip
  

• Your doctor may suggest you have a nerve conduction study (NCS) test to measure the rate at which an electrical impulse moves along your median nerve.
