Hi, I have a condition where one of my wrists can only bend backwards to a certain degree. It's due to overuse and maybe arthritis.  
Was wondering if anyone knows of any laser treatment that can help soften the tissue around my wrist?  
Reason I asked is because I would prefer a non-evasive treatment. No surgery if you know what I mean.

Have you tried either physio or massage? Both are non-invasive. Accupuncture is minimally invasive, and could also be helpful.

Yes, I have tried physio in which they massaged my wrist and gave me ultra-sound. Didn't help. In fact, the way they asked me to do it on my own at home makes it worse. I pulled my tendon doing that.  
Thought about acupuncture but lately, I'm afraid of needles :-)

If you are in pain, suck it up and get surgery. I did the same thing but with a shoulder injury, I put off getting the surgery being in pain daily for 8 years before getting the surgery and three months after the surgery I have been pain free for 6 years

Actually arthritis or tendinitis ? And if arthritis which type? The treatments for both have some differences. Also for both heat is nice for relieving pain, parafin wax also is nice.

There is no pain. I can only bend backwards so far that I cannot do push ups.

I have a daughter with Cerebral Palsy and this is what her hand does. If you can stand to do exercise, such as push ups against the wall, slowly they will stretch, but you have to be constant at this. Sometimes there are braces that you could where at night time that will stretch your hand back, to help. When her hand got really bad, than she had tendon lengthening done, probably the operation you are doing. You also may be able to explore the option of Botox (needles) if done right helped my daughter be able to stretch her hand out. Botox shots last 3 to 4 months. If it is painful, you might try cortisone shots. See your doctor and they should be able to refer you to the area, best for you. Hope you find the solution needed.

Masahe massage and laser 1337 Princess should be able to help you out!
