Q. I was recommended surgery — can Korean medicine replace it?

For 80% of cases yes; severe cases require surgery for safety.

📝 Detailed Answer

80% of recommended wrist surgeries unnecessary. Korean medicine + Chuna often resolves carpal tunnel, tenosynovitis, trigger finger. Surgery indicated for: severe nerve damage with weakness/atrophy, locked trigger finger, large ganglion. Try Korean medicine 6–12 weeks first.
