Many of our clients have been able to reduce or eliminate their pain while avoiding surgery and medication.
Fingers and hands fall asleep at night
A typical sign of carpal tunnel syndrome in the early stages is numbness in the fingers at night. In the beginning it is usually just a tingling sensation in the hands. If you rub and shake them, the tingling usually goes away quickly.
The pain moves
If carpal tunnel syndrome is left untreated, the pain extends into the arm and shoulder. And while the pain initially only occurred after exertion, it now occurs more frequently and for no apparent reason.
The strength decreases, the fingers become numb
In advanced carpal tunnel syndrome, the sensation in the fingers is lost: it becomes more difficult to button clothes and grip small objects. Little by little the fingers become less and less numb.
Frequently asked questions
curpal® is one of the so-called manual therapies. A prospective randomized study concluded that manual therapy, which includes the use of curpal®, is just as effective as surgery. The study compared the effects of a surgical procedure with weekly manual therapy.
In the study, 50 of the 100 participants underwent surgical treatment. All had pain and numbness in the area supplied by the median nerve for at least 6 months. According to the study, the patients who received manual treatment even reported lower pain levels after 3 months than those who underwent surgery. The results of this study are consistent with the feedback from our patients.

curpal® should initially be used daily for 6 to 8 weeks approximately 3 x 3 x 3: So you take curpal® three times a day and pump up the device three times with each use and allow the stretch to take effect for three minutes each time. Often the symptoms subside significantly within the first 3-6 weeks, so that treatment can then be reduced. After about 8 weeks, treatment with curpal® is necessary either preventively or only after pain symptoms recur. The effort required to use curpal® is minimal, 3 x 3 minutes per application is sufficient.
Treatment with curpal® has no side effects. If necessary, you can use curpal® in consultation with your doctor. This is especially true for people with osteoporosis.
Although curpal® has medical approval, it is not yet listed as an aid in the catalogue of reimbursable products. Therefore, the purchase costs of the device are not routinely covered by health insurance. However, we recommend that you always check with your own health insurance provider.
