If you suffer from Dupuytren’s disease, chances are you have been made aware that surgery is your only option. Most of us will do absolutely anything to avoid having to go under the knife. The thought of operation can keep you up and night and completely ruin your mood. The fear of a procedure for Dupuytren’s disease is not unfounded. The Dupuytren’s disease surgery puts you at risk of some long term damage if the surgeon accidentally nicks a tendon or nerve. The incision is made in a zigzag formation; this often leaves an unsightly scar.
The site of the surgery can also become infected and cause further issues. After surgery, the wound is left open in some cases to allow a natural binding of the skin; this bleeds regularly and can cause significant discomfort. The damage is also painful as you flex the hand and fingers, flexing can cause the scar to reopen, making the recovery process take a lot longer.
The other issue with surgery for Dupuytren’s Contracture is the amount of time it takes to recover completely. The average recovery time for the surgery is two to four months, and a splint will be required during this time. You may also need physiotherapy after the splint to rebuild strength and allow movement in the hand and fingers. Unfortunately, surgery doesn’t guarantee recovery from the condition, and it has been known to come back in many cases.
There are other treatment options to choose from; the most common is an enzyme injection. The injection will break down the nodule built up under the finger and allow movement to return to normal. This is often only a temporary solution as again, the condition returns. The use of a splint or brace to straighten the fingers is employed by many. In many cases, the issue is that the splint or brace will cause dull aching pain or discomfort. Splints tend to be cumbersome and prevent the use of the hand or fingers making all chores difficult.
The best Dupuytren’s Contracture home remedy uses the Dupuytren’s wand, tape, and jelly together. The jelly is used as a primer for the wand, which will relax the fingers, increase blood flow, and improve movement. Once the wand has been used, the tape is placed across the hand and effected fingers to straighten them and allow recovery to begin. These items can be found on the shop page of the website. The best thing about the treatment is not only is it easy to use, proven to be extraordinarily useful, but it is also cost-effective.
