A member asked:

Has anyone ever heard of anything natural, or alternative medicine that helps reverse dupuytren's contracture?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If mild, help: Stretching your fingers, heavily padded gloves for grasping tasks, massage and heat, and rubbing lanolin cream into your hands. Supplements: n-acetyl-cysteine/nac has been shown to slow the growth of dupuytren cells. Anecdotally, i've heard that zinc supplements have reversed it, and that the paleo diet can help in this regard too. (i don't have any direct experience of that).
