About Martiele Swanko

                                                                                                                                                    I’m Martiele Swanko, and this site was born from my own journey navigating Dupuytren’s Contracture.

Like many people facing this diagnosis, I quickly discovered that information was scattered, inconsistent, and often overwhelming. Conventional options were discussed in isolation. Alternative perspectives were difficult to evaluate. Research findings were buried in medical journals.

I created Dupuytren’s Solutions to bridge those gaps.

Over time, I have worked extensively with medical research, interviewed physicians and patients, and studied the connective tissue and metabolic factors often associated with fibrotic conditions. My goal has always been simple:

To organize the information clearly so individuals can make informed, thoughtful decisions about their care.
