Is carpal tunnel surgery right for you?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common conditions treated by Salem Health hand surgeons. Symptoms include numbness and tingling in the hands, cramping or burning, or pain that travels all the way up the arm.

Our team looks at all the options to stop the pain — from vitamin B6 supplements to cortisone injections. If those methods aren’t successful, the next step is surgery to reverse pressure on the nerve.

Do you think carpal tunnel surgery is right for you? Salem Health Orthopedics has the largest and most experienced group of surgeons in the mid-Willamette Valley specifically trained in treatment of hand and wrist conditions.

When to seek medical help for trigger finger

Our hand surgeons see many patients with locking or catching symptoms in the fingers. One of the most common reasons is trigger finger.

There are many types of treatment available including hand therapy, anti-inflammatory medications and a splint on the middle joint of the finger. If symptoms continue, steroid shots or surgery may be needed.

Cortisone injections cure the condition about 70 percent of the time. Hand surgery for this condition is a small procedure that can be done in one of our mid-Willamette Valley offices with local anesthesia.
