Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  The carpal tunnel is a small passageway in the wrist that is formed by the carpal bones. The medial nerve runs through the tunnel and is responsible for the movement of the fingers. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is pinched and causes numbness in the hand. Our team is trained to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome through the use of surgery.

Radiologist

• MRI
  First off, thank you for choosing FRISCO SPINE.  Dr. Paul Salinas knows you have options, and we appreciate you choosing our practice.  Most often patients come to FRISCO SPINE expecting our physicians to perform a full physical exam and release a diagnosis.  However, our neurosurgeons DO perform neurosurgical consultations.  This means they rely on imaging, such as MRI, CT scans, x-ray’s etc, to properly diagnose exactly what is going on.  For example, the imaging will be able to show our neurosurgeons if a slipped disc, pinched nerve, or herniated disc is the root of your symptoms.  Additional testing may be required to properly pinpoint your issue.  Examples of these tests include, EMG’s, EEG’s, discograms, etc. Our neurosurgeons do NOT do pain injections or medication management. We will refer you to an appropriate specialist to provide those services to you.
