Carpal tunnel syndrome

If you’re living with carpal tunnel syndrome, you’re likely experiencing tingling, numbness or weakness in your hand, often related to repetitive motion or inflammation. Our skilled team is ready to work with you to ease symptoms and restore function.

Chronic neuropathic pain

This type of nerve pain can feel like burning or sharp, sporadic pain — and it’s common for symptoms to last for months. Our team focuses on helping you manage pain, so you can enjoy your favorite activities again.

Cubital tunnel syndrome

Pressure on a nerve at the elbow can lead to numbness, tingling or weakness in your arm or hand. We can help relieve that pressure and protect your nerve health.

Meralgia paresthetica

If your symptoms include numbness, tingling or burning that’s localized to your thigh, you may have meralgia paresthetica. We can help identify the source of the irritation and guide you toward lasting relief.

Nerve compression syndromes

When a nerve is under pressure, it can cause pain, numbness or tingling. Once we pinpoint the source of your pain, we can create a care plan tailored to your needs and goals.

Peripheral nerve injuries

Nerve damage from an injury or medical condition can affect how you move or feel, but our skilled and compassionate team is here to support your recovery every step of the way.

Peroneal nerve compression

Peroneal nerve compression can make it difficult to lift your foot or feel parts of your lower leg. With a personalized treatment plan, we can help restore strength, movement and sensation.

Schwannomas and other peripheral nerve sheath tumors

These types of tumors are usually noncancerous growths around your nerves. We will carefully evaluate your specific tumor and guide you through the most appropriate next steps for treatment.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome

Nerve compression in your ankle can cause pain, tingling or numbness in your foot. We work to relieve discomfort and help you move more comfortably.

Traumatic nerve injuries

When injuries from falls or accidents damage nerves and disrupt your daily life, we’re ready with expert care focused on your healing and recovery.

Ease your symptoms, restore your quality of life

Peripheral nerve care focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the nerves outside your brain and spinal cord. These nerves help control movement, sensation and automatic body functions. So, when they’re injured, compressed or otherwise damaged, everyday activities can become painful or difficult. We offer the latest treatment options and a personalized plan to help relieve symptoms, restore function and prevent further nerve damage.

Peripheral nerve conditions we treat

Peripheral nerve conditions can show up in different ways—sometimes suddenly after an injury, or gradually over time. If you’re experiencing ongoing discomfort, changes in sensation or weakness, we’re here to help you find answers and relief.

We care for a wide range of peripheral nerve conditions, including:

Radial, ulnar, and median nerve conditions can affect movement and feeling in your hand, wrist, and arm. When these symptoms begin to interfere with daily life, it’s time to seek medical care. You can count on our team to focus on improving function so you can get back to your daily activities.

Comprehensive treatment and testing

We create personalized treatment plans to relieve nerve pain, improve function and help you get back to the activities you enjoy.

Because nerve disorder symptoms feel like orthopedic condition symptoms, it can be hard to know what’s really going on. That’s why we take the time to listen, evaluate your experiences carefully and personalize every diagnostic plan.

Your evaluation may include a physical exam, along with imaging or specialized nerve testing. By understanding the source of your symptoms, we can make an accurate diagnosis and recommend the most effective treatment.

Tests we may recommend include:

Blood tests to help identify underlying causes of nerve conditions, such as diabetes or auto immune disorders
Electromyography (EMG) to measure electrical activity in muscles, which helps us identify nerve problems
Imaging studies, such as ultrasound, CT and MRI to identify injuries and tumors, as well as inflammation and nerve compression
Nerve conduction studies to measure the electrical signals between nerves

No two nerve conditions are exactly alike. That’s why we work closely with you to understand how your symptoms affect your daily life and then tailor treatment to your needs. The goal is to provide nerve pain treatments and care that relieves symptoms and supports your long-term function.

Your personalized care plan may include:

Braces and splints to take pressure off nerves and make it easier to function
Electrical stimulation to disrupt signals from damaged nerves for pain relief
Medication to reduce pain and inflammation, alter nerve signals or address underlying causes
Peripheral nerve surgery to relieve pressure on your nerves

Your peripheral nerve condition team

You’re in the caring, experienced hands of our board-certified neurologists and neurosurgeons. You can count on them to take the time to listen, understand your symptoms and provide personalized care — all so you can feel confident in your diagnosis and move forward with a treatment plan designed to help you feel and function at your best.
