When your hand falls asleep at night or your fingers stop obeying.
Numbness, tingling or weakness in the hands is a nerve signalling that something is under pressure. Most often the cause can be identified precisely and treated well. The sooner we look, the easier it is to help.
Does this sound familiar?
Most often the nerve is simply compressed.
The most common cause is carpal tunnel syndrome, where the median nerve is under pressure in the wrist. A similar feeling can also come from ulnar nerve compression, from an irritated nerve root in the neck, or from wider nerve damage.
Telling these apart is the key to choosing treatment. Fortunately there is no need to guess: nerve function can be measured precisely.
The good news
An ENMG test (electroneuromyography) shows exactly where and how badly a nerve has suffered. We do this test on site and choose treatment that matches the cause.
From numbness to a working hand
We listen and examine
The neurologist distinguishes the patterns of the wrist, the ulnar nerve, the neck and other causes.
We measure nerve function
The ENMG test pinpoints where the compression is and how far it goes. The test takes place in the same building.
We treat the cause
An injection, a splint or physiotherapy, and a trusted hand surgeon if surgery is needed. We check together that the numbness recedes.
Two simple ways to start
- A thorough neurologist appointment: your story and an examination
- A professional assessment and advice on the way forward
- If needed, we refer you for tests, which are priced separately
- A first neurologist appointment
- A test as needed: ENMG or MRI
- A follow-up appointment to go through the results
- Treatment matched to the cause, injections done on site
