- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome -
(Ulnar Nerve Compressed at Elbow)

• Symptoms: Pain and discomfort on the inside/back of the elbow; numbness, tingling and paresthesia affecting one-half of the ring finger and the entire little finger.
  
• Cause of Symptoms: Impingement of the ulnar nerve on the medial side (Inside) of the elbow, often caused by compressive flexor and pronator muscles located in the upper portion of the forearm/elbow.
  
• Treatment of Symptoms: FLEXTEND® may help reduce compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow junction by stretching the overly tight, compressive flexor and pronator muscles in the upper forearm, and by strengthening the supinator and extensor muscles of the forearm. The gentle stretching and strengthening exercises of FLEXTEND® can help maintain the length of the flexor muscles and the strength of the extensor muscles in order to reduce pressure of structures within the Cubital Tunnel.
