CARPAL TUNNEL & HAND SYMPTOMS · MERRICK, NY
Your hands do a lot.
Give them attention.
Numbness, tingling and wrist discomfort deserve a closer look at the cause.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONCERN
Which fingers? Which activities?
Carpal tunnel syndrome involves pressure on the median nerve at the wrist. It can cause tingling, numbness, pain or weakness, often affecting the thumb and nearby fingers. Similar symptoms can come from other locations or conditions, so accurate assessment matters.
Tell Dr. Veltre which fingers are affected, whether symptoms wake you and how gripping or hand tasks have changed. Share relevant diagnoses and any nerve testing or previous treatment.

QUESTIONS ABOUT CARPAL TUNNEL & HAND SYMPTOMS
A little more
clarity.
Is all hand tingling carpal tunnel syndrome?
No. Nerve symptoms can have different causes or involve other locations. The affected fingers, examination and sometimes testing help clarify the problem.
Should ongoing numbness or weakness be evaluated?
Yes. Persistent or worsening symptoms should be assessed rather than relying on a website to identify the cause.
Can I bring nerve test results?
Yes. Existing nerve conduction studies, specialist reports and treatment history can help Dr. Veltre understand your situation.
