Within the last two months, he treated two patients with severe pain shooting into their thumbs and palms. There was thumb (thenar) muscle wasting present in both cases.

One patient was in pain for over 1 month and it took 4 sessions to resolve, the other patient experienced symptoms on/off for years which had gotten worse, it took 8 sessions for her improve. Her condition got so bad that she experienced grip strength weakness (started dropping objects) and suffered from claw hand deformity in the morning which would require a lot of self massage over the first few hours in the morning to help her hand open up! It took 8 visits for her symptoms to improve which was remarkable considering the significant intensity and long duration of her symptoms.
