Arthritis
In most cases, the cause of CTS is unknown. Thyroid disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, pregnancy, vitamin deficiencies, diabetes, fluid retention, and trauma can be associated with CTS. Women are more commonly affected than men. Repetitive, forceful gripping and heavy use of vibratory tools may increase a person’s risk of CTS.
Emergency Care
Cost-effective treatment begins with providing appropriate, evidence-based medical care to patients. Conservative treatment options are emphasized at Raleigh Hand; surgery is recommended only when necessary. MRIs, CT scans, and other expensive tests are only ordered when required for treatment. Additionally, Raleigh Hand to Shoulder Center offers same day and next day appointments for patients with urgent problems, which reduces the need for costly emergency room visits. The physicians are also on-call 24/7 to help triage emergency cases from doctors’ offices, urgent cares, and emergency rooms to expedite patient treatment.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The word “carpus” is derived from the Greek word karpos, which means “wrist.” The carpal tunnel is a passageway in the wrist through which the median nerve and tendons of the hand travel. The carpal tunnel is a narrow, confined space: the floor of the tunnel is made up by the carpal bones of the wrist, and the roof is created by the transverse carpal ligament. The median nerve is at risk for compression within this tunnel. If there is abnormal swelling, altered wrist anatomy, or injury to this area, the function of the median nerve may be affected.

Pinched Nerve
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a type of pinched nerve in the wrist. It is the most common compression neuropathy in the upper extremity. It results from increased pressure on the median nerve at the wrist, within the carpal tunnel. Symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain can result if the nerve is compressed or “pinched.”

He completed his formal Hand Surgery fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic and CWRU in 1996.

He completed an orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Michigan Hospitals in Ann Arbor.

Sports Medicine
The Raleigh Hand to Shoulder Center doctors and therapists have specialized training in treating patients with hand and upper extremity conditions. Patients with pain, trauma, sports injuries, arthritis, tumors, or chronic problems of the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder can be evaluated and treated by our staff. A variety of advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments are available, and surgery is only recommended after careful patient evaluation and consideration of multiple treatment options. The goals are to reduce pain, restore function, and improve quality of life with the most effective and least invasive treatment methods.
Physical Therapy
The practice combines the experience of 6 board-certified orthopedic hand and upper extremity doctors as well as certified hand therapists and physical therapy.
