Carpal Tunnel Treatment Options

Your primary care physician referred you to a carpal tunnel specialist for treatment. On today’s show, Dr. Tom Miller asks Dr. Douglas Hutchinson, a specialist in hand surgery, what to expect at that appointment. He discusses the diagnosis he’ll use and what non-surgical and surgical treatment is available if you have the condition. He also tells you what to expect if you choose surgery—what the procedure is like, recovery time and its success rate.
