Does NA work for thumb cords?
I have cords that are developing between the base of my thumb and index finger. Does NA work in this area or just the more typical cords like that in my palm/ring finger where I already have a slight contracture? Thanks...

thumb cords
I had a successful NA procedure done last week by Dr. Eaton for a contracture in my pinky finger. I also have thumb cords that are fairly thick but there is NO CONTRACTURE associated with them. Dr. Eaton said to just leave them alone for now. I can send you a photo if you like.

I also have a large thick region of Dupuytren's tissue at the thumb base, but the contracture is minor. I suspect that the much larger, stronger muscles of the thumb are able to hold off the contracture by contstantly stretching the tissue.

So has anyone had NA or heard of it working on the cords that develop in the web space between the thumb and index finger (commonly known as radial involvement which I hear is usually in store for a nasty surgery)? Please let me know one way or the other! Thanks
