Fast Relief for Hand & Finger Pain: Carpal Tunnel and Trigger Finger Treatments

For those who suffer from hand and finger pain, the daily tasks we take for granted—typing, writing, or even holding a cup—can become painful and frustrating. Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger are common culprits behind this discomfort, but thanks to innovative, minimally invasive procedures, relief is closer than ever. At Enhance Center, Dr. Ayman Tarabishy offers advanced treatments that can help you get back to your life, pain-free, with quicker recovery times.

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm to the palm of the hand, becomes compressed as it passes through the narrow carpal tunnel in the wrist. This leads to symptoms like:

• Numbness or tingling in the hand or fingers
• Pain, especially at night
• Weakness, making it difficult to grasp objects
• A sensation of “pins and needles”

If left untreated, carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to permanent nerve damage, making early intervention essential.

What is Trigger Finger?

Trigger finger, or stenosing tenosynovitis, occurs when the tendons in your fingers or thumb become inflamed, causing a painful locking or catching sensation. This condition can interfere with daily activities, making tasks like gripping a pen, buttoning a shirt, or holding a steering wheel difficult and painful. Common symptoms include:

• Stiffness or pain at the base of the finger or thumb
• A “popping” or “clicking” sensation when bending or straightening the finger
• Swelling at the affected joint

Like carpal tunnel, if left untreated, trigger finger can significantly affect your quality of life.

Minimally Invasive Treatment Options at Enhance Center

For both conditions, Dr. Ayman Tarabishy offers a revolutionary approach using real-time ultrasound guidance to perform minimally invasive procedures. These treatments can be done right in the office with local anesthesia, meaning you don’t have to undergo traditional surgery or deal with the long recovery times associated with it.

Benefits for Patients:

• Minimally invasive: Small incisions are made, typically without the need for sutures.
• Quick recovery: Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within days, not weeks.
• Local anesthesia: No need for general anesthesia, making the procedure safer and less stressful.
• Performed in-office: The procedure can be done quickly and conveniently in a comfortable setting.

Carpal Tunnel Release and Trigger Finger Release: A Game Changer

At Enhance Center, the team uses real-time ultrasound technology to ensure the highest precision when performing carpal tunnel and trigger finger release. These procedures are highly effective and allow patients to experience significant relief from pain and discomfort without the need for extensive downtime. Unlike traditional surgery, the recovery time is minimal, and most patients return to their normal routines within days.

Managing Carpal Tunnel and Trigger Finger

While treatments can help alleviate pain, understanding how to prevent these conditions from worsening is just as important. Here are some tips for managing and preventing carpal tunnel and trigger finger:

• Take frequent breaks: If you work with your hands for long periods, especially at a computer or on repetitive tasks, take short breaks to stretch and rest.
• Improve ergonomics: Adjust your workstation setup to reduce strain on your wrists and hands.
• Stay active: Regular exercise, including stretching and strengthening the hand and wrist, can help prevent stiffness and improve circulation.
• Seek treatment early: If you notice symptoms like tingling, numbness, or pain, don't wait to seek medical advice.
