Several: Depending on the severity of your symptoms, a splint if often helpful. Modifying your behavior to eliminate the repetitive movements causing it is also helpful but not always practical. Surgical correction is often done in severe cases. There is also some good osteopathic manipulation treatments that can even reduce the need for surgical correction.
