The ring and little finger of my right hand were inclined about 30 degrees. On April 24 of this year, Dr. Lermusiaux using NA was able to cure my hand of Dupuytrens Contracture.

I first learned the name of the problem on my hand, which had existed for about ten years, in the fall of last year. On the internet I read of the surgical procedure practiced in the USA and decided against surgery. Coming across this web site I learned of NA and of Dr. Lermusiaux. The firsthand reports I read here were positive and so I e-mailed him requesting an appointment. He responded and the date and time was set.

Dr. Lermusiaux has his practice in a house on the outskirts of Paris. After taking a brief medical history he examined my hands discovering nodes at the base of my thumbs. These might require future attention.

The nodules affecting the inclined fingers were in several lumps. He applied a local anesthetic, waited about 20 seconds and went to work with the needle. After doing this for a while he pulled my ring finger back and there was a loud snap. It took two more applications of the anesthetic and the needle to free my little finger. A couple of bandaides and some gauze around my hand to keep them in place and I was done.

The fee was 70 Euros and he offered to supply me with insurance papers, which I didn't need. Afterwards I could flatten my hand but when I did there was some mild pain. The pain decreased with time and now there is none.

Although my hand is fine now I understand the problem frequently recurs. If this happens to me I will certainly repeat the procedure.

Thanks for sharing your success story with NA. I've yet to read a negative comment regarding this procedure.

Congratulations on your positive NA results. My husband is
scheduled for the same procedure in July and we are praying
for the same results. Good Luck, Mary Beth
