- ArthritisOther conditions that can cause carpal tunnel syndrome are diabetes, pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, and thyroid disease. Even sprains or fractures can make you more likely to have this condition.
- FibromyalgiaTo give an important example, the diagnosis of fibromyalgia until very recently was not believed to be real by many clinicians because we lacked a good scientific understanding of the disease; it was not until the FDA started approving a number of drugs to reduce the pain from fibromyalgia that the diagnosis of fibromyalgia gained credibility and patients are now being offered easier access to effective treatment.

- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeAre you suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome? This is a condition that affects something called your median nerve. This nerve goes through the length of your arm and through a part of your wrist called the carpal tunnel.
- EpilepsyAnother advantage of ketamine infusion treatment is that it can treat patients with different types of pain. Even the most potent opioids are infamous for having no effect on this sort of pain. Neuropathic pain can be crippling and difficult to manage. Other forms of pain, such as phantom pain and pain brought on by fibromyalgia, can be effectively treated with ketamine. At different dosages, ketamine is also used to treat anxiety, depression, and epilepsy.

- Pinched NerveCan a pinched nerve in the neck cause dizziness? Yes, it turns out. Your body is a complex series of nerves, muscles, bones, ligaments, and tissues. All of these work together to help you keep your balance. Your eyes help your brain understand its surroundings.
- Joint ReplacementIt runs the gamut from severe refractory headaches with Botox injections to leg and foot pain and everything in between. We mostly see patients suffering from arthritis pain in the spine causing neck or back pain and we have very effective treatment for this. If medication, chiropractic, and physical therapy is not satisfactory we can burn the arthritic joint nerves (radiofrequency ablation) to block the pain for a year or longer, and we can repeat the procedure if the pain returns. We have recently become very excited about adapting this technology to treat very stubborn knee and hip joint pain that is not otherwise successfully treated including patients with continued pain despite knee or hip joint replacement surgery.
- Hand SurgerySurgical intervention, though highly effective, is generally considered a last resort. Our hand surgery specialist can perform carpal tunnel release with an open surgical field or endoscopically. Depending on the circumstances, this procedure can be done under full anesthesia, sedation, or with just local anesthetic.

- Physical TherapyAfter one week from your surgery, your stitches and bandage can be removed. You may start undergoing physical therapy to restore your range of motion. However you’ll still be quite restricted in the use of your hand or wrist.
