Hands

In our hectic and often laptop-oriented lives, carpal tunnel syndrome has become all too common. For those with office jobs, or who play instruments and video games, you may find that you feel pain, numbness and tingling in the hand and fingers. This may occur because your wrist’s median nerve becomes compressed and the pressure disrupts the nerve’s function. At Plastic Surgery of New York, we can confirm the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as check for other possible nerve problems.

For many patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, strategies such as identifying and treating underlying medical conditions, changing hand-use patterns, and wearing wrist splints may help lessen pressure and ease symptoms.

While these non-surgical approaches may significantly relieve symptoms, some patients require surgery to create more room for the nerve. Visit Plastic Surgery of New York to learn how we can treat your carpal tunnel syndrome and greatly reduce your pain.
