Carolyn, cured my carpal tunnel syndrome and set me on the path of exercising regularly to keep the body balanced, strong and healthy.
Originally, I saw the leading specialist of Carpal Tunnel injuries in Contra Costa County. After doing a scan of both my arms and wrists they found carpal tunnel and before I knew it they were giving me a shot of cortisone, telling me gruffly this was my only option.
At the time, I was 26 years old and I kept thinking this is crazy, is there no cure for this? The only option for someone who is young and healthy was to get cortisone shots the rest of my life? Unless, I get the Carpal tunnel surgery which doesn’t always work and permanently cuts the main tendon in your wrist?
The answer was nothing short of a miracle, but let me start by telling you what led me to see the specialist to begin with.
Symptoms: I developed carpal tunnel syndrome from bad ergonomics while sitting at the computer. After years of not changing how I used my mouse and keyboard I began to notice difficulties with my wrist. It developed to the point of where I could not even hold a mug of water in one hand as it was too heavy. Also when I walked, my wrists would bend in and look really weird.
So, with these symptoms and being told by a specialist that I would never recover I started to take matters into my own hands. I was given a recommendation for a physical therapist, Carolyn Hamilton, from Hamilton Physical Therapy.
That first meeting was so wonderful. I had so many fears. Carolyn had me walk to see how my body moved, what my posture was like and what was causing the wrist bending and the damage.
She assured me that I wouldn't have this difficulty for the rest of my life, I just needed to follow her instructions for strengthening my body and taking care of it and if I did that she told me I would recover!
Given my previous diagnosis I thought I was done for and there would be no way to recover, what a HUGE relief to be told that not only would I not have this physical impairment the rest of my life, but I could take charge of my life and my fitness and I could grow strong!
After seeing her twice within a month my symptoms reduced greatly, I remember walking on my usual after work stroll and all of a sudden my body was strong enough to hold a good posture and I started to stand tall, friends who had known me for years asked me if I had grown a couple of inches(maybe I did!). It was like magic, or a miracle!
I continued to work with Carolyn and my symptoms were completely gone in less than a year.
After that I still would see her for a while to get her advice for doing correct exercises that would work out all of my body for balanced work outs. I wanted to keep the muscular balance I gained through seeing her.
Carolyn, was patient and was happy to answer all of my questions. I can't tell you what a relief it was/is to deal with someone who was/is super patient and incredibly knowledgeable. She showed me that it was good that I got a second opinion!
One last story, a little while ago I was in a car accident. My car was rear-ended by the car behind me, than the car behind it rear-ended it and so I was run into twice. My body was hurting and feeling out of whack and I thought I’d need a while to recover but Carolyn recommended I do my exercises for that day. As I had stopped doing them for a few days. After 20 minutes of doing the exercises she prescribed my body clicked back into place!
Who has ever recovered from a car accident by exercises!? See what I mean?
I am really lucky for all of her help and guidance. Had it not been for Carolyn Hamilton I would still be getting cortisone shots every 4 months and would have two wrists that couldn't function.
Thank you Carolyn, and thank you and your staff at Hamilton Physical Therapy, for all of your patient, effective and life changing help!
If someone is one the fence about going to physical therapy because of cost be sure to call Carolyn's office as they accept many forms of insurance other offices do not. My recovery with carpal tunnel was fast but I continued to see her to ask for her advice on strengthening the body for a few years after that. My insurance completely covered the process so I didn't pay anything!
