NERVE COMPRESSION AND IRRITATION

Relief for Tingling, Numbness, and Weakness in the Hand and Arm

Nerves travel through tight spaces in the wrist, elbow, and forearm to power hand movement and sensation. When those spaces narrow due to inflammation, injury, or repetitive strain, the nerves can become compressed. This often results in tingling, numbness, pain, or muscle weakness. Left untreated, nerve compression can cause permanent damage.

At Michigan Orthopedic Center, our orthopedic specialists diagnose and treat compression syndromes affecting the hand, wrist, and arm. Whether symptoms are new or long-standing, we provide advanced treatment options to relieve pressure on the nerves and restore proper function.
