What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

What Are the Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome include the following:

  • Numbness or tingling sensation in the hands (one or both)
  • Sharp pain in the hand which radiates to the arm and/or shoulder
  • Muscle weakness of the index and middle fingers and thumb
  • Discomfort or aching in hands (one or both)
  • Inability or difficulty grasping or holding objects due to lack of feeling in hands
  • Inability or difficulty performing tasks which require fine hand motor skills

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be particularly painful when you first wake in the morning, due to the natural curling up of your hands while you sleep.

The Endoscopic Release System

The Endoscopic Release System is a highly advanced technology which provides access to the carpal tunnel through one small incision. The Endoscopic Release procedure helps with hand pain, numbness and tingling associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Additional advantages of the minimally-invasive Endoscopic Release System include:

  • A 98% surgery success rate
  • Minimal scarring
  • Same-day use of the hand(s)
  • Better visualization of the hand anatomy
  • Peace of mind knowing you are benefiting from the safest and most advanced technology available

What Can I Expect After Carpal Tunnel Surgery?

Carpal tunnel release using the Endoscopic Release System is an outpatient procedure in which Dr. Loredo is able to access the carpal tunnel endoscopically through a tiny opening at the wrist.

This access allows Dr. Loredo to cut only the carpal tunnel ligament, unlike other more invasive procedures which require the surgeon to cut through skin, fat, fascia and muscle to access the carpal tunnel.

This minimally-invasive approach provides for instantaneous relief from pain for most patients and a much faster recovery time. Most patients will be able to regain full unrestricted use of their wrists in a week or less.

Dr. Pedro Loredo, can help you with your carpal tunnel hand pain, numbness, and tingling. " Heavenly Father, please take my hands and guide them. Grant me the strength to help my patients and their families. The skill to ease their suffering the understanding to diagnose their needs. The kindness of heart to care fort them and reassure their fear. Please be beside me on each and every case as I rely on you the greatest of healers. Amen."
