Advanced care for carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome

Carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome can cause pain, numbness and weakness, making it difficult to perform daily tasks. Our specialists offer both non-surgical and surgical treatments to relieve pressure on the median nerve (carpal) and ulnar nerve (cubital) and restore function. Mild to moderate cases may improve with bracing, steroid injections or physical therapy. For more severe cases, minimally invasive carpal and cubital tunnel release provides long-term relief through a quick outpatient procedure. Patients who qualify may also benefit from endoscopic surgery, which requires only a small incision and allows for faster recovery.

Your care journey

Whenever possible, our specialists prioritize conservative treatments such as bracing, injections and occupational therapy before considering surgery.

If surgery is necessary, we use the latest minimally invasive and microsurgical techniques to reduce recovery time and improve function.

A dedicated team of hand therapists and pain management experts will guide your post-surgical recovery to ensure the best possible outcome.
