Overview
Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand — often worse at night or with repetitive work.
Dr. Tyorkin confirms the diagnosis and treats carpal tunnel in stages: splinting and activity changes first, then injections, and — for persistent cases — a brief outpatient release procedure with a quick recovery.
