Yep, I had it done on my right hand and it was successful.  Barabara had
both hands done at one time.  Takes about 6 weeks to use hand.  It takes at
least 6 months to a year before you can't tell that you had surgery.  An
head on blow to the palm wiil be painful.

I know the feelings toward Chiropractics are often mixed, but a good 
Chiropractor (as opposed to a Quackopractor) can do a lot to help carpal 
tunnel non surgically.  A recent study put them in the 90 percentile 
success rate with no surgery.  Since tendons, muscles and joints are 
their stock and trade, this is something they are eminently qualified to 
do.  Now, as far as curing liver disease.............
