If you are experiencing numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness in your hands, it may be related to nerve compression or other hand conditions. Early evaluation can help determine the cause and prevent progression.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common causes of hand numbness and tingling. It occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed as it passes through the wrist. Common symptoms include numbness or tingling in the fingers, hand weakness, dropping objects, and symptoms that worsen at night. Treatment options range from conservative care to surgical release of the nerve when necessary.

Open Carpal Tunnel Surgery
For patients with more advanced symptoms, open carpal tunnel release may be recommended. This outpatient procedure relieves pressure on the nerve and can improve numbness, pain, and hand function.

Trigger Finger
Trigger finger occurs when a finger becomes stuck in a bent position and may snap or lock when straightened. This condition can cause pain and limited movement.

Hand Numbness and Tingling
Numbness and tingling in the hands can be caused by several conditions, including nerve compression at the wrist, elbow, or other areas. Evaluation helps determine the underlying cause.

Hand Injuries and Lacerations
Hand injuries, including cuts, lacerations, and trauma, may require surgical repair to restore function and prevent complications.

When to Seek Evaluation
If you are experiencing persistent numbness or tingling, weakness in your hands, pain that interferes with daily activities, or symptoms that are getting worse over time, it is important to be evaluated.

Schedule a Consultation
If you are experiencing symptoms in your hands or wrists, scheduling an evaluation can help determine the cause and the best treatment options.
