Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is compression of the median nerve at the wrist. It causes numbness, tingling and weakness in the thumb, index and middle fingers, and it classically wakes people at night.

Diagnosis and Treatment

EMG and nerve conduction testing confirm the diagnosis and grade its severity. Dr. Gabriel Dassa, MD, is board certified in orthopedic surgery and specializes in carpal tunnel syndrome and hand and wrist reconstruction.
