Best video ever. I almost went in for surgery, tried this one time and BAM no pain. This is a miracle. Thank you sir. You know your stuff.
here's several suggestions for relieving carpal tunnel syndrome pain naturally
Do stretches - the pain is casued by tension in the nerve
Seek the advice of experts or long term effects can occur
(I read these and the reasons they work on Dariks Pain Destroyer site )
if this is true, and you really come close to surgery and this resolved it, it is too good to be true. because i know what ''coming to surgery'' means.ANY surgery is not like going to your shopping mall ''stretch''. I THANK GOD i only have it on my left arm. nothing works so far :(
For how long did you do it?
did you have any immobility of finger usage or grip strength? I started waking up with numbness from wrist to tips of fingers and pain from elbow to finger tips. Added to that, I can't close my fingers all the way, nor do I have any grip strength
Happy New Year
you said "This is a miracle" then I am on the right page.
I am tying this tonight-
Just applied to test out before bed tonight. Thanks for video.
35 years of hard rock drumming has finally caught up to me. Incredible pain last night, actually thought for a second of cutting my hand off 🥴
Hello from Canada
Excellent video. Thanks so much
This exactly what my physio therapist also recommended
Will try it tonight.
Been trying to endure this pain for 4 months, and this totally helped me get rid of that tingling and numbing. Saved me money to buy splint and brace. Thanks, Doc, for your unselfish knowledge.
Great to hear!
Wow... Honestly? As I've got CTS and will try anything
@@AdamJStoryDC Would I get similar results if I tried taping my pinky and thumb together, even though that would probably be uncomfortable at night?
This has save my life tonight.. thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this - I feel so much relief doing this and I am so grateful.
Are you still doing it. How are you doing now Chelsea? Did you stick with it for a while?
You, my good sir. Are an amazing human being. Helped a ton!
Thank you so much. It really helps me now. The pain reduces significantly.
wow, dude you are unbelievable! thanks a lot for the amazing deep explanation, i've been looking for an answer for quite some time now and you just compiled everything in a very simple way!
I think his title is "doctor" not "dood".
I really can't believe this worked so well and so quickly. I've been suffering for weeks with severe pain. Tried different braces and other contraptions. This did the trick with some electrical tape I paid about $0.50 for. After doing this for one night, I woke with no pain and even after working for 12 hours, the pain is very minimal. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Did you wear the tape at work too, or just at night?
That’s what I’m curious about. I need some help during the day as well.
Thank you sir ,
Superp idea,
I was geted cts pain last six months.
Just five minutes ,Now pain gone away.
Thanks many more.
I was able to have a restful sleep last night for the first time in weeks thanks to this taping method. Thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
Thank you this helped a lot, the pain was driving me crazy and although I use Kinesiology tape, it has the same effect. Very soon after applying the tape as you show, that awful burning shrieking pain subsides and I'm reasonably comfortable until morning. I really appreciated the explanation of why and how it works. Sometimes I wear the same tape configuration when I am working (I make jewellery), and that can help with the repetitive movements necessary during that activity. It's a good fix and hopefully will help lots of people escape the hell of the pain they feel due to this frustrating condition.
It works, reduced the pain at least 80%. Thanks!
GENIUS!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
Can't thank you enough, I have tried it and with wonderful results. It really works.
Thank you. This is helping me be able to write my master's thesis!
Cool!
It’s really working. I am also suffering from carpal tunnel problem and I tried this , this help me a lot. Thanks a lot
Man your pin pointing the accupuncture points to massage to alleviate the pain was a godsend. I'm about to try this wrap because I'm stuck at work and hopefully this will allow me to not be in so much pain while on the job
What you show works, I also put another just below the elbow on the forearm. This helps with the nerve pain in my back when I sleep.
You just helped me through irritating pain with this tape trick. Also the upper body and neck tip. Awesome!! I started massaging in the upper part of my chest and neck area and could actually feel a slight relief from lightly massaging that area. With these tips, I truly Think my CTS is caused by my poor posture specifically from watching videos on youtube, lol,
I think you made my wife cry she's so happy. Godbless
Hey Ed, how is your wife's pain?
@@vansskate i think you made her smile she's so sad.
@@Cesare0328 uhhhh
Amazing solution. Immediate relief. Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
thanks for this video Dr! It has helped me sleep better now for 2 days in a row and I hope many more.
Great to hear!
thank you so much sir gonna share this to all my friends who experienced this pain too.. it really helps.. God bless you.. from philippines with love
Thank you for watching, sharing and subscribing!
Recently got back into PC gaming and did have this condition before. I recently started having this pain from typing and playing. Tried this and had immediate relief. Amazing advise!! Will share among my friends. Been a mechanic all my life and I know that does'nt help my situation either! Thanks again!!
thanks for sharing this with others. I appreciate it.
I like this guys approach !!
thank you Doc.. God bless!
😢 Thank you so much. I started a new job and my right hand was so numb I couldn't hold my newborn daughter because I couldn't feel if I had a good hold. I tried the hand thing with my punky and thumb and it feels so much better. The presure pain is going away... 😢 Thank you so much Adam!!!!
thank you so much for the help. I'm, not a rich person so therapy and surgery which I cannot afford. Thank you, doctor. God bless..
Did you have any luck with this Angela now a month has passed...?
Ugh, I hope & pray this works. I have carpal tunnel in both hands & they are badly aggravated right now that I’m to the point of tears. Thank you for this video. I’ll try it tonight & give an update.
Doc, you're a legend.
Amazing: Electrical tape very inexpensive. Electricians will love this information as well as those having pain. Interesting/Thanks

Thanks a lot guys! These exercises really helped me out. I'm a guitar player studying music performance in university, so my CT really gets in the way on a bad day
What!! The pain is gone instantly by 80% ! Thank You Very Much for the tip !
So it's not gone instantly?
Wow... just.. wow. You literally just cured my CTS overnight.
Hello Adam, I’m going to give this a try. I have the CTS on both my hands but my right hand is the worst. I do use my brace during the day and sometimes at night. I’ll have surgery done on my right hand beginning September and once this is cured and well., I’ll do my left hand. I’m handicapped and need my hands to do allot for myself and hope after surgery I’ll be able to use my forearm crutches without any problem again. The Neurosurgeon told me not to worry and I’ll will once cured. I’ll be back to give you an update how it went using the electrical tape, thank you for the tip and I subscribed to your page. Greets, John
I have been doing this for the past 3 nights WOW What a difference no waking up from pain in my hand and less pain throughout the day
Cool huh? Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Wow!!! I have been having major issues for months! This small solution has made things so much better for me. I have not seen a doctor yet so I do not have a brace or anything else to help me. Instead of electrical tape, I am using hockey tape. It seems to work just fine. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this. I noticed some pain in my wrist yesterday out of nowhere and wanted to brace it but I don't know if I still have a wrist brace. I wrapped it as in your video using medical tape and it feels so much better already. Thank you!
Thank you! This is the best explanation I've seen so far.
Glad it was helpful!
Had my first pain free night of sleep in weeks, thank you! Still have pins and needles but that doesn't bother me when I am sleeping.
Wonderful!
all i can said is thanks a lot dr ....im from casablanca Morocco .i had that terrible pain from 6 years ago till now ; all of that is caused by a powerful hand kick.....so now i tried this tecnic really its amazing ....again thanks a lot sir .
I love Morocco 🙂 its my favourite holiday destination.
Thank you. I felt immediate relief and was able to do it myself.
Great job!
From the comments I can't wait to try it tonight! Ive suffered on and off for 25 years and having a particularly hard time lately. I've had so many cortisone shots and worn out a dozen braces.
How did it work out for you?
Thank you Dr Story. I tried the method you described. But the tape felt too tight and the numbness started ASAP while wrapping it,
even tho I didn’t tighten it all way around. I think you are right about the upstream pinched nerve. I wake up while on my back and my whole hand hurts and is very hot and numb. My thumb and index finger of my right hand are on off in pain, tingling and numbness often all day long. Sometimes my whole hand is that way.
Oh my Gooooooooooooooooddddddddddd. Adam, you should be awarded with Medical Nobel Price for this. I have suffered CTS for more than 10 years and tried every possible treatment including CT Release Surgery and no success. Nothing helped, but tried this, with extreme skepticism (I wouldn't honestly even try it if my wife didn't insist so much), extreme numbness and pins & needles were gone 90 % first night. Third night last night no more of it. It is just unbelievable. Thank you thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Sydney/AUSTRALIA.
Are you being 100% honest as I'm suffering really badly and will do anything to get rid of it. X
Yes, I am but after a week or two it lost its effectiveness, was still effective but not as much as it was on first try. Also developed skin rash after repetitive tape application. Now having a really bad thumb injury on the same hand gave up completely on it.
Oh really... Hmmm how frustrating. I tried it and the first day my hand felt numb and that it had lost circulation! Second night we loosened it. But I can't say it made it any better! I'm so sick of cts
@@clareisaacs6928 yeah, I know what you mean about CTS, it put me in & out of depression number of times. The worst is surgery making it even worse.
@@cemucar6989 oh gosh... So sorry to hear that. I was worried to try surgery but think I'll leave it now x
Thank you very much for this technique. I tried it and even the first time it worked! Showed to a friend and it also worked the first time. Just amazing!
Dear Harrook38: Thank you for being a supporter of my channel. I was wondering if I can ask you a favor because it would help others get the same benefit. Would you be willing to write a review on google and yelp about your knowledge that you’ve gained from my UA-cam channel? I would greatly appreciate it because it will help others maybe seek this information. Just tell the truth about what you’ve learned and how it has helped you. You can find me by typing Adam Story, Chiropractic Corp. If you don’t want to I understand, but thanks in advance if you would help!
awesome Doc Thanks !!
You explained everything perfectly! I'll try it, Thank you.
This works!! Been wearing the tape for a month now, this is what I found...... I would wake up every morning in pain and it would last 2 hours or more. Also I would wake in the middle of the night and the pain would force me out of bed. Since finding this video I have no more morning pain and I sleep through the night. I do still wear the braces along with the tape because I will still bend my wrists when I sleep and this will cause pain. Also, when I wake in the morning, if I take the tape off when I first get up, I will still have some pain. So, I generally get up around 6am and I don't take the tape off till about 9am or so. This gives my hands a chance to "wake up" and get moving. When I do take the tape off (2 hours of so later) I will have no pain. The tape has caused some irritation to my skin as well as a blister or two, but this was due to putting the tape too tight when I started. I plan on having the CT surgery in a couple months, so the skin irritation and itching is a small price to pay to be almost completely pain free. hope this helps, Thanks Dr. Story!!
You're very welcome.
Are you feeling better now?
@@beautytipsandhealthylifest3164 Still tapeing at night and it still works. I also tape when I play my guitar and it helps!
@@dannymoreno7835 But is it supposed to go away or not 😔😞
I am so glad I stumbled on this video. Most days I wake up with a numb/tingly right hand and for last few weeks it has moved up into my arm. Tried this wrap last night and just woke up and have no pain. Just tingling in my hands, much less than normal, and can actually use it. Before it took over a half hour to stop the numbness and pain to go away. Thank you!!!!
Glad it helped!
I did this slightly higher up on the hand to hold the fold in place. So helpful. Reduced pain in hand and now no pain in arm.
So glad I saw this. Right when you explained that touching pinkie and thumb together opens up the carpal tunnel I did it and held them till end of video. It was an instant relief. Will DEFINITELY be doing this.
Thank you.
Btw, I originally was diagnosed with severe carpal tunnel (both hands) in 1999 (had surgery on right) and during recuperation with physical therapy, ice, brace and celebrex it went away in left hand.
Overuse this Christmas brought it back but I'd forgotten what to do.
Thanks again.
Hi Wanda. How are things now? I often wonder if grip/gripping strength is reduced after surgery is done for CTS.
omg...thank you sir..i have tried this night the time i saw this and omg in one month i feel so pain in my hads like numb and same needle injecting around my hands..i wake up with my alarm with no waking up for pain... im so amazed..thank you so much..godbless your work..
and 8 months later from this comment how are you doing now gisselle?
Great explanation I have had a few ops because of this problem . Thank you so much for this video
Glad it helped
Thank you Dr. Story. It worked! I had CTR surgery over 10 years ago and still feel pain and numbness. I tried this today and within 10 minutes using this tape method worked. No more pain. Some patients may be happy to know that there are colored tape available that do not leave a residue. I'm using red but any color will come off clean other than the black electrical tape.
I will try this! I was diagnosed with fairly severe CTS both left and right, and I had surgery on left probably 10 years ago. Left is still fine. But at that time I started Glucosamine-Chondroitin-MSM supplements and right wrist problem seemed to go away totally! Recently right wrist has started in again... not just wrist and hand, but also up forearm. It's not really bad yet, but I want to avoid surgery. I have plenty of electrical tape and will definitely start this tonight. Hoping for the best. My job is working on a computer keyboard, and I have repetitive wrist use in using manual wheelchair 24/7. Hand/wrist problems have a major impact, so I'm hoping this will head off the problem. Even just keeping it static so it doesn't get any worse would be extremely helpful. It is not to the point of keeping me from sleeping.... and I would prefer it not! I will post after I've tried it a week or so and let you know if it's working...
Did it work?
Can you tell us more, what changes did you see in your arm after surgery?
Thank you so, so much! The pain in my left hand is entirely gone and its tolerable in my right hand now.
I will be able to keep my job, paint and write again. I will also pass this onto a coworker who is struggling.
You're the best! :)

@@AdamJStoryDC I absolutely will! I am blown away at how quickly it worked and how much relief its given me. Thank you again!
@@Cookies-coop I'm glad it helped you. It doesn't work on 100% of people,100% of the time every time, but for a great majority, it's MUCH better than a brace. Thanks for doing a review. It will help me a lot.
I'm a retired RN and spent my career in ICU, so I'm not an expert on carpal tunnel interventions. I do know I have carpal tunnel, but I'm not sure where the nerve is being compressed. I'm going to give this technique a try tonight. Wish me luck!
Used it last night and worked very well thank you!
Great to hear!
Amazing!!!!!!!!! You saved my grandma! She is completely out of pain thanks to your video ❤️❤️❤️!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much! 🙏🏼✨🙏🏼✨🙏🏼
Glad it helped!
🥇🏆🙏🏼❤️😁
The Numbness in my wrist was reduced by 50% on the 3rd day I tried this. Thank you for this!!!!
Been a month now. How are you going?
it is really improving..no backslide in pain...numbness still present but less
@@Maloydgreat Great to hear. I've had a degree of improvement myself. Certainly much better than what I was suffering with before. For me it seemed a little like by doing it things 'calmed down' so I'll probably be doing it randomly depending on level of sufferance and flare ups.
Thanks again Adam!
For the past 2 nights I have tried this....and it works, OMGOODNESS it works😃
Cool.
Do u feel better now?
right i thought this was like Nonsense but no it really works i mean its still a lil numb but compared from before this is so better im blowed away
Cool! @@DREAMY6594
Amitral medicin result sosh
Tonight I try! Thanks Doc.😊
It does works thanks Doc
Danke Doc, left hands back in commission now.
I tried this last night, and it worked much, much better than my brace.
That's great
How are you now 5 months after making this comment Steph'? ok I hope.
Great video, Im excited to try this. I am a carpenter with bad carpel tunnel pain. You mentioned going up the arm with treatment as well near the begining of the video. So you have info on that. My whole right arm is flaired up. Thanks!
Wow! Thank you. Using the tape, my hand feels so much better. 😃
Thank you for the info. Will be buying a lot of those tapes . My cts if severe. Ill do my best to avoid surgery.
Why not get surgery if it is severe?
@@tamircohen1512 surgery can create its own problems--build up of scar tissue plus it might make it worse
I am 38 weeks pregnant and started carpal tunnel about 6 weeks ago and I feel like I’m losing my mind it hurts so much, I can’t sleep through the night. At least I know that once I give birth it will be gone, I don’t know how those of you who suffer from this every day can cope, I imagine this is what arthritis feels like. I also find the braces ineffective/itchy
People go to chiropractors and get relief from it.
My carpal tunnel never went away after pregnancy. My son is 5 now and it flares up. I’m curious to know if yours went away completely?
@@ellybear81 if splints don't help that much it is coming from your ribcage area from poor posturing, forward shoulder positioning or from your neck. either go see a good Chiro that works with these issues or a Certified Hand Therapist, like I am, and they can help. you can also watch my video on how to use your hands correctly to prevent the strain. just type in my name under search and you will find my channel. there are 3. you needs to work on improving your posture to open up the chest wall so the nerve isn't pinched in there....
@@ellybear81 I thought I was overreacting. Almost 2 months postpartum and it feels like my wrist bone snaps in and out.
My carpal tunnel never went after pregnancy my daughter is 14 years old now mines is getting worse.
I'm trying this tonight, I've been in so much pain during the night. Thank you so much.
Give it a try. Hope it works for you
Adam J. Story, DC I've got black electrical tape on, put it on about an hour or so ago, lol🤗
Interesting . I will try your method . Thank you .
And how did it go Michael?
GENIUS!!!!! 🕶
I wish I had seen this before I had an injection. The constant dull ache in my wrist and hand is far worse than the bit of tingling. I was not really aware of the tingling until two Drs started going on about it and how it showed in electrical testing and ultrasounds. I had been referred to the first doctor about arthritis pain in my thumb & wrist. Nothing has been done about the original pain, and they have created a problem where one did not exist.
Thank you!
thanks for this advice it really helps
I'm definitely trying the electrical tape on wrist.
Are there home remedies I can do if a nerve is pinched in elbow and neck as well. My whole arm throbs with hand going to sleep and numbness.
all of my online assignments during this quarantine has led me to get symptoms of carpal tunnel so I hope this will work 😔🙏🏻
Have you tried this yet? What are the results?
Thank you ! Relieved my symptoms!! Perfectly:)
BRILLIANT!
I am definitely going to try this. Yesterday only, I found out that I have CTS. I got really depressed :(
How u doing nowdays?
@@mrb2643I am almost fine. I didn't have CTS but something. I used my own mind. I stopped carrying heavy things even it was of 2 kg. Stop pushing, lifting heavy objects. Do regular neck exercises.
Was just googling braces for this and they have so many..it's like what really is the best ones...guess I'll get some electrical tape n try it

Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information. Lots of love from an Australian 🇦🇺❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much, I have severe carpal tunnel, I have been in pain for weeks with no sleep. This tape is working enough to rest tonight

So it's been 10 months Edna, how are things? Still suffering or have things improved?
My pain is 95% reduced with the electrical tape! Amazing!! I am so grateful!
Is there any reason I cannot keep the tape on 24/7?
BTW, it seems holding my iPhone 8 and texting is the major cause of the pain, numbness and tingling.
@@michellereyes2628 Stop posting links to adds you spammer
@@KrtNeo Glad you mentioned this KrtNeo. Can confirm - this link takes you to an add. Be warned.
The tape is plastic, that is why you cannot keep it on 24 hours. Your skin needs to breathe. But, I tried to use the regular medical tape which is semi plastic and fabric, it works the same, with good result.
@@dorothypang2583 that sounds like a better option then if it works just the same or better.
Just now used this technique on my tingling fingers and it works! Thank you for this tip been suffering with this for twenty years! I'm a big chicken when it comes to surgery, hoping it helps. So far so good
Thank the Lord that one of my best friends and clients (I'm CPA she's chiropractor). A great plastic surgeon was ready to operate immediately five years ago. I have had many people tell the the surgery did wonders for them, most say five years later they're back to numb and pain stage. She see's my carpal tunnel and now possibly torn meniscus and I swear by chiropractors now. This was great video wonder if PT tape would do the same.
Two things... I wonder why the pain would return after surgery AND did you lose any grip/gripping strength after the op? TIA.
Haven't tired it yet but I believe you are correct just following the motion without the tape feels better.
just been diagnosed with this by a doctor who said need surgery which I replied "f*that"...! watching this has given me hope, thanks... 👍
I just made out an order for a brace, I happen to have some electrician tape, so I'm giving this a good try before sending in the order, save some $$$ 'Liked"
Just put the tape on tingles and numb have went down.. I'm so sad. Have cts I'm only 20 years old .. in Jesus name I'll be healed soon (:
Jesus might want to work on world hunger and childhood cancer before farting around with our carpal tunnel symptoms.
Yes you will. Me too. We have in us, the power to heal ourselves. Visualize, pray and believe. God watch over u
that was a stupid thing to say
