Carpal Tunnel Tri-Cities, hand numbness, Dr. Travis Peterson Richland kennewick Washington

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the tissues around the flexor tendons in the wrist swell and put pressure on the median nerve.

We being with a history of symptoms followed by a physical exam. For carpal tunnel syndrome we may send a patient for an EMG or nerve conduction study. The EMG is a confirmatory test.

We routinely utilize conservative measures before we consider surgery. We may have you ware a splint on your wrist at night to keep your hand and wrist in alignment to keep your hand from experiencing numbness. Numbness can awaken you from sleep. We may also try a steroid injection into the carpel tunnel. If neither of these relieve the symptoms Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery may be a consideration.

Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery is an out patient surgery taking a couple of hours at the TCO Surgery Center.

Recovery involves a couple of things, because we made an incision, there will be a dressing on the wound. Most people find that light daily activities feel fine to preform.
